• Oscillator Sync (Key Synchronization)

Settings: ON, OFF

This determines whether Oscillator Key Synchronization is on or off --- whether or not the

waveforms of all operators start at the beginning of the wave cycle when a key is

pressed. Note that this affects all operators together.

When Sync is ON, the oscillators are automatically reset to the beginning of their wave-

forms each time you play a note. When sync is OFF, the waveforms continues in a "free

running" condition; when you play a note, the result will vary depending on where the

waveform is in the cycle. This creates subtle differences in the sound, even when you

play the same note repeatedly. Keep in mind that for certain patterns, there may be little

or no audible effect.

Frequency Coarse/Fine

Range (in Ratio mode): 0.500 ... 61.69

Range (in Fixed mode): 1.000 Hz ... 9772 Hz

This determines the frequency for each individual operator.

Type in the desired value in the appropriate value box or use the mouse to change the

value.

Detune

Range: -7 ... +7

Detune is a "super ﬁne" frequency adjustment for each operator. Mild detuning between

carrier operators can make the overall sound of the pattern more full, rich and natural,

and reproduce the subtle pitch differences found in actual acoustic instruments. Maxi-

mum detuning between carriers can be used to produce chorusing effects or simulate an

ensemble of multiple instruments.

Operator Parameters

These parameters let you set the Output Level and Velocity Sensitivity for each operator.

• Operator Output Level

Range: 0 ... 99

This determines the level of each operator. The setting made here affects the workings

of many other parameters. For example, Feedback, EG Level 1 - 4, and Velocity Sensi-

tivity may have little or no audible effect if Output Level is set too low. On the other hand,

Keyboard Level Scaling settings may have little or no effect if Output Level is set too high.

When applied to a carrier operator, this affects the volume of the pattern; when applied to

a modulator, it affects the timbre.
