Accent
The accent determines the playing dynamics by differentiating the individual notes from
one another. The accent of the SINE MB 33 II is especially effective in that it affects
several parameters at the same time.

The volume is raised significantly. The accent's volume boost is reduced as the
distortion level increases.
The decay time is set to minimum for the duration of the accent. At the end of the
accent, the time currently set on the decay control is applied. The effect of the accent
can therefore be enhanced further by setting a long decay time.
The accent causes an additional boost of the cutoff frequency. This effect, in turn,
depends of the position of the resonance control: at a low resonance, the accent
results in a brief, percussive boost of the cutoff frequency. At a high resonance, the
boost of the cutoff frequency is delayed and less intense.
The intensity of the volume and cutoff frequency boosts can be adjusted with the
accent control.
The accent is triggered via MIDI at velocity values of 120 or greater. The intensity of
the accent can be regulated with the accent control in such cases. The accent control
has no effect if the accent is not triggered.
Distortion
This effect is comparable to that of a fuzztone. It is the result of overdriving the filtered
VCO signal; its intensity can be adjusted as needed. The sound resulting from the
distortion effect depends not only on the intensity, but also the cutoff frequency and
resonance.
A lower cutoff frequency will result in a weaker distortion effect.
A lower resonance will add dirt to the sound.
Additional harmonics result as the resonance increases. The sound becomes more
metallic (comparable to the sync effect with 2 oscillators). The sound becomes more
shrill when the cutoff frequency is raised while the resonance is high.
Volume
The VOLUME control regulates the output volume of the SINE MB 33 II.
