Kernel Mode Panel Parameters
Semitone / Octave
Sets the pitch of the kernel in semitone steps. The standard
setting for this parameter is
0
, but there are cases where
different values are interesting as well. Press and hold the
Semitone
dial while turning it enables you to select the
pitch in octave steps.
Fine Pitch
Fine-tunes the kernel in steps of 1/128th of a semitone.
The audible result of detuned oscillators is a Chorus effect.
Use a positive setting for one oscillator and an equivalent
negative setting for another
Additional Panel Parameters
Due to the fact that there are nearly endless possibilities
for kernel mode parameters, the 5 panel parameters
(except
Semitone
and
Fine Pitch
) of the Oscillator sectio-
nand corresponds to the 5 template parameters shown in
the touchscreen display. For example, if the template "
FM
Simple
" is loaded, the
Position
dial controls
Timbre
, the
Spectrum
dial controls
Ratio
and so on. This allows you a
fast editing of all important parameters of a template.
