Sync
Synchronizing the master and slave oscillator in
VCO1 will increase the wave harmonics and create
a more complex sound. The Sync is automatically
set to “on” when an algorithm other than FM is
selected.
The FM algorithm does not contain the master and
slave oscillators but functions just as one VCO.
FM (Frequency Modulation)
In FM, the source wave that modulates another
wave is called a modulator, while waves that are
modulated are called carriers. No matter what
algorithm is selected for an AN element, VCO1 is
always fixed as the FM carrier. The FM modulator
will differ depending on the algorithm and can be
selected from VCO1 master oscillator, VCO2,
LFO1/2, EG, or others.
The parameters listed below are not related to FM
algorithms. When an FM algorithm is selected, these
parameters are not displayed in the screen.
■
Sync Pitch
Adjusts the pitch of the slave oscillator in semitones.
This lets you create a difference in pitch between the
master and slave oscillators and control the resulting
harmonic interval. A sound with many harmonic
overtones, or a brighter tone can be created. The
larger the value, the greater the effect, whereas the
lower the value, the more rounder and softer the
tone becomes. A setting of “0” produces a pitch
which is the same as the master oscillator.
❏
Settings:
–64~0~+63
■
Sync Depth
Sets the amount of depth of control from the Sync
Src (Sync Source) over time. The larger the value,
the greater the change in depth.
❏
Settings:
–64~0~+63
■
Sync Src (Sync Source)
Sets the source signal which applies the modulation
over time to the slave oscillator.
❏
Settings:
fixed, PEG, FEG, LFO1, LFO2
When set to “fixed,” there is no change in modulation
over time.
■
FM Modulator
Selects the source unit to get the frequency
modulation. The waveform of the source selected
here modulates the VCO1 wave.
❏
Settings:
fixed, PEG, FEG, LFO1, LFO2
When set to “fixed,” there is no change in modulation
over time.
■
FM Depth
Adjusts the amount of modulation created by the FM
modulator. The larger the value, the greater the
modulation depth.
❏
Settings:
–64~+63
■
FM Src (FM Source)
Sets the modulation source which controls the FM
Depth.
❏
Settings:
VCO2, VCO1, VCO1s (sub oscillator), PEG,
FEG, LFO1, LFO2
[F4]: VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator)
Sets the parameters related to the two VCOs (VCO1/2)
that can be used by the AN element.
■
VCO1/2 FreqCoarse (VCO1/2Frequency
Coarse)
Adjusts the pitch of each VCO1/2 oscillator in
semitones. A setting of “0” produces a pitch the
same as the basic pitch of the currently selected
VCO1/2 wave.
❏
Settings:
–64~0 (basic pitch)~+63
■
VCO1/2 Freq Fine (VCO1/2Frequency Fine)
Adjusts the pitch of each VCO1/2 oscillator in cents.
❏
Settings:
–49~0~+50cent
