Choose 

“PRESET D-8”

. The sawtooth wave is selected.

Since bass involves low frequencies, turn the 

[PITCH]

 knob on the OSC section all the way 

to left, and set to (-12). Now the sound is lowered by 1 octave.

Turn the 

[CUTOFF]

 knob on the FILTER section all the way left and set to (MIN). 

The sound becomes inaudible.

Let’s create the initial attack of the sound. Raise the 

[D]

 slider of the FILTER ENV a little.

Let’s determine the timbre of the sustained note. Raise the 

[S]

 slider 

of the FILTER ENV a little.

In order to achieve the effect of sliding over the frets while holding the string down 

(glissando), press the 

[SOLO]

 button.

Slightly raise the 

[DEPTH]

 slider of the FILTER ENV to determine the overall timbre. 

The attack is weakened, and sound will be darkened.

Press the 

[SLOPE]

 button and select -24dB. The core of the sound is retained, 

yet it sounds a little darker now.

Turn the 

[RESONANCE]

 knob and add a little bite to the sound as you like.

Press the 

[FX ON]

 button.

Turn the 

[TIME]

 knob in the EFFECTS section all the way left to (MIN). 

Turn the 

[DEPTH]

 knob and fatten the bass timbre.

Lastly, fine adjust the 

[DEPTH]

 slider of the FILTER ENV to determine 

the overall sound.

Choose 

“PRESET D-8”

. The sawtooth wave is selected.

Turn the 

[CUTOFF]

 knob in the FILTER section to the “two o’clock” position.

Turn the 

[RESONANCE]

 knob in the FILTER section to the “one o’clock” position.

Let’s create the initial portion of the sound. Raise the 

[A]

 and 

[D]

 sliders 

of the FILTER ENV a little.

Determine the overall timbre by raising the 

[DEPTH]

 slider of the FILTER ENV.

Press the 

[SLOPE]

 button in the FILTER section and select -24dB. 

The sound gains more bite by doing so.

Press the 

[PORTAMENTO]

 button.

To further enhance the lead synth sound, press the 

[SOLO]

 button. 

Now it plays monophonic (a single note at a time). Also when you hold a key while pressing 

another key, the two notes will transition smoothly.

Press the 

[FX ON]

 button.

Position the 

[TIME]

 knob at “twelve o’clock”. Turn the 

[DEPTH]

 knob and add some echo 

effect to the lead sound (delay).
