Modulation Wheel

The Modulation Wheel can add vibrato if the Vibrato Voice Mode set-

ting is set to “Wheel” and/or act as a Morph Control, to control one

or several parameters while you perform. The Modulation Wheel will

transmit MIDI CC 01.

Arpeggiator

Use the arpeggiator to au-

tomatically play a repeated

sequence of notes based on

notes or chords you play on the

keyboard.

Arpeggio Run

Starts and stops the arpeggiator.

Arpeggio Rate

The tempo of the eight note arpeggio is set by the Rate knob, with a

range from 16 BPM to "F5", which is "very fast".

Arpeggio Mst Clk

Hold Shift and turn Rate to lock the arpeggiator to the Master Clock.

Rate will then be used to select the time divisions.

Arpeggiator Divisions

Division Description

2, 4, 8, 16, 32 The straight divisions range from 1/2 notes to 1/32

notes.

2t, 4t, 8t, 16t The t indicates the triplet divisions.

Arpeggio Range

The arpeggiator has a range from 1 to 4 octaves.

Arpeggio Directions

The arpeggio directions are: Up (no LED), Down (DN), Up/Down (U/D)

and Random (Rnd).

Panic

If notes would ever sustain indeﬁnitely during a performance, press

Shift and Panic. This will execute an internal All Notes Off command,

and reset incoming MIDI CC messages.

Voice Mode

Unison

Unison stacks de-tuned voices “on top of each

other,” in the same fashion as on the classic

analog polyphonic synthesizers. Unison will po-

sition voices left and right with various strengths

in the stereo panorama.

•Unison 1 is two slightly detuned and panned

voices.

•Unison 2 is four slightly detuned and panned

voices.

•Unison 3 is four voices with a stronger detuning and panning.

Mono

Mono makes the Slot monophonic, only one note at a time will be

heard. The envelopes will be re-triggered for each new note you play.

Legato

Legato is another monophonic mode. The envelopes will not be re-

triggered if you play legato, they will continue in their present phase.

 Legato is when you play a key without releasing a previously

played key.

Glide

Glide can be used to set the time interval for the pitch to glide from one

note to a new note, when Mono or Legato is active. With a setting of

zero the pitch will change instantly.

M If Legato is active, Glide will only occur if you play legato.

Multi Focus

Multi Focus allows you to change settings simultaneously on all the

active Slots. Press Multi Focus and the active Slot’s LEDs will ﬂash.

Any parameter change you make on the panel will affect all the Slots.

Active Multi Focus can be stored in a performance. Press a Slot but-

ton to exit.

Bend Range

Bend Ranges can be different for each program and can be set to a

maximum of +/- 48 semitones. There are also two settings with dif-

ferent ranges for the upward and downward bend.

Press Shift + Bend Range repeatedly. The ﬁrst press will display the

current setting, each consecutive press will increase the bend range

one step at a time.

 Hold Bend Range and turn the Program Dial to scroll through the

available settings.

Bend Range Description

Off Pitch Bend is disabled.

1 - 12, 24, 48 Pitch Bend range in semitones.

-12, -24 Pitch Bend range is 2 semitones for upward bends, and

12 or 24 semitones for downward bends.

Vibrato

The Dly1 and Dly2 settings add a delayed vibrato,

the delay time being 0.5 and 1.0 seconds. The

vibrato rate and the depth of the delayed vibrato is

set in the Sound Menu.

When Wheel is selected, the depth of the vibrato is

controlled by the Modulation Wheel and incoming

MIDI CC 01.

Init Sound

Pressing Shift + Init Sound provides you with a neutral starting point

for all parameters if you want to begin programming a sound from

scratch.

You need to conﬁrm your intentions by pressing Execute or pressing

Init Sound again.
