Push [F1] to get into the distortion edit menu. The display shows the first menu page of the
distortion menu:

Edit Part1 DIST

|1> Gain: OFF

On the first menu page you can turn the distortion effect on and off as well as adjust the intensity.
The post-distortion, low-pass filter will not be active until the distortion effect is turned on, so that
clean sounds stay clean:

Edit Part1 DIST

|1> Gain: 64

The degree of distortion can be adjusted in a wide range from 1 to 127.

On the second menu page you can adjust the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter:

Edit Part1 DIST

<2> CutFreq: 127

This LPF filter has exactly the same characteristics as the low-pass filter of the synthesizer section,
although it cannot be controlled through the envelope and LFO.  However, it does not have to be
set static - the cutoff frequency and the resonance of this filter can be modulated through the
built-in sequencer.  Also, you can put the filter parameter on the modulation wheel of your
synthesizer.

On the third page you can change the resonance of the filter:

Edit Part1 DIST

<3| Resonance: 67

The distortion effect is in-line with the signal chain which is why the original clean signal cannot be
heard when the distortion filter is turned on. With a low gain setting the degree of the distortion is
so small, that you will have no trouble working with non-distorted sounds.

The Equalizer Section

The effect section of the POLYMORPH has for every part a two-band sweep equalizer. You can
adjust the centre frequency and the boost and cut of each band. This way you can give your
sounds the finishing touch.
If you find yourself in another menu, press [EXIT] twice. Push [EDIT] to get into the edit menu
selection.
By using [PAGE<>] select page 3.  The display shows:

Select Edit <3>

[Distortion] [EQ]

Push [F2] to get into the EQ edit menu. The display shows the first menu page of the Equalizer
menu:

Edit Part1 EQ

|1> EQ1-Gain: +30

On menu pages 1 and 3 you adjust the boost and cut of the frequency bands. When the "0"
position is selected there will be no influence on the selected frequency bands. You can raise and
lower the selected frequency band to a maximum of ±12dB.
