12 Basic Bass: This bass is halfway between an
electric and synth bass.
13 Tomic Bass: Synth bass
14 Data Bass: Synth computer bass
15 Claviphunk: Unique Clav sound; TouchWah
can be added with AS1
16 Hexadron: mono; tubular sound
17 Buglemon: Fixed frequency “C” with delayed
envelopes. This Voice is made from Algorithm 5 –
three pair of stacked operators.
18 Stabber: Brass drop-off sound. Algorithm 18
is used. The 1:1 ratio of operators 3 and 4 in
relation to the carrier (OP1) give this a decidedly
sawtooth (brass) feel. Study the PEG. The Pitch
Envelope Generator is responsible for the drop in
pitch overtime.
19 Tribe Vibe: Mallet sounds are a particular
specialty of the FM tone system. 3 carriers, 3
modulators are used. Isolate operators 1, 2 and 4
to hear the contribution of the carriers. OP4 is a
percussive harmonic adding the “pop” to the
sound.
20 New York: Pitch EG sound effect
21 Puffy Wind: This is a unique keyboard sound
with lots of harmonic response to velocity.
22 Clouds: 4-note poly; Actually only 5 operators
are used here (OP4 has 0 output). The bell-like
quality is from the OP3:OP2 relationship – any
non-whole integer ratio will yield a bell-tone.
“Slice” effect gives rhythmic motion to the Voice.
23 Sqotesue: Ghostly effect Voice
24 Reflex MW: Only 3 operators are used to
create this Voice – it also uses the S90
Arpeggiator for the pattern.
25 Ambernecta: Totally unique FM keyboard
sound – part mallet/part pluck, totally FM.
26 Devastated: Brassy Ensemble sound
27 Reborn AT: Chromatic percussion sound with
pitch bend on Aftertouch. This is added in the S90
Control Sets. You have two S90 level Control Sets
plus MW, AT and AC (assignable controller) to
play with. In the S90 navigate to this by pressing
EDIT/COMMON/F4 CTRL SET/SF3 AT
28 Aquarium: Similar to Reborn but more
metallic in nature.
29 Breathin: 4-note poly; Steel and steam…use
Aftertouch for control.
30 WorkGarabg: 4-note poly; broken sound –
really honky-tonk. AS1 and AS2 control Tech-mod
effect.
31 Frettin: Plucked fretted instrument-like sound
– not a guitar but fretted.
32 Artoo: 4-note poly; Computer R2D2 Voice
33 Cowbelly: Musical Effects
34 Electro FX: 4-note poly; Musical Effect. Work
Aftertouch and the Modulation wheel for Pitch and
Filter effect.
35 FX Track: 4-note poly, AT does pitch; AS1
and AS2 work the Flanger; Musical Effect
36 Guillemot: 4-note poly, AT; Multi-dimensional
Voice - Low tone comes in with long held notes as
you go up the keyboard; Strange Musical Effect
37 Ruler: 4-note poly; Musical Effect
38 Impetus: 4-note poly; Musical Effect
39 Fritenite: 4-note poly; Staccato or held very
different; Musical Effect
40 Octans: Musical Effect
41 Bossa: synth woody tone
42 New Delhi: 4-note poly; gong-like
43 Vela: gong morphs to a bell
44 Tock: 4-note poly; AT; control harmonics with
Aftertouch; Very interesting low tones – use AS1
and AS2 to manipulate Rotary Speaker effect.
45 Jixuken: 4-note poly; Musical Effect
46 Blue: slowly detuning sound; musical effect
47 Reflection: delicate sound
48 Turmoil: Brassy, AT
49 ZOOM: 4-note poly; Musical Effect

metallic ring on release
