Parameters for the acoustic bass model.
SYNTH (Synthesizer)
Parameters for the synthesizer sound.
ANALOG GR
Parameter/
Range
Explanation
LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume. With a setting of 0,
there will be no sound.
BODY
0–100 This sets the volume level of the resonant
sound produced by the panels and cavity
(the body resonation).
* The body resonance is monophonic. This
means that if this Body parameter is set to
100, the panning of each string will have
less effect.
RESO (Resonance)
0–100 Adjusts the body resonance. The resonance
increases as the value is raised.
SIZE
-50–+50 Specifies the size of the body. This modifies
the resonant frequency to simulate changes
in body size. A setting of 0 will produce a
normal resonance.
ATTACK
0–100 This sets the intensity of the attack when the
strings are fingered. The higher the value
you set, the greater the intensity of the
sound produced when the strings are
played. The attack of the body sound will in-
crease as well.
BOTTOM
0–100 This sets the volume level of string vibra-
tion.
BUZZ SENS (Buzz Sensitivity)
0–100 This sets the sensitivity for the distinctive
harmonics of an acoustic bass. Adjust this to
match the velocity of fingering.
DECAY
0–100 This sets the decay of the string vibration.
Parameter/
Range
Explanation
MASTER LEVEL
0–100 Sets the volume.
MODE
This setting determines whether the HEXA-VCO (sawtooth wave) or the
HEXA-DISTORTION (rectangular wave) is played, or if both are played.
VCO The HEXA-VCO sound is played.
V+D The HEXA-VCO and HEXA-DISTORTION
sounds are played simultaneously.
DIST The HEXA-DISTORTION sound is played.
COMP (Compression)
OFF, ON When this is set to ON, the HEXA-VCO’s
decay time is extended.
When ENV MOD SW is set to ON, the VCF (vari-
able frequency filter) decay time is also extended
* The HEXA-DISTORTION decay time is not
extended.
CUTOFF FREQ (Cutoff Frequency)
0–100 Adjusts the cutoff frequency, setting the
brightness (hardness) of the sound. The sound
gets brighter (harder) as the value is raised.
RESO (Resonance)
0–100 Adjusts the resonance (distinctiveness of the
sound). As the value is increased, sounds in
the frequency range near the cutoff frequen-
cy are boosted, making the sound more dis-
tinctive and unique.
ENV MOD (Envelope Modulation)
This automatically changes the VCF cutoff frequency according to
the amplitude of the string vibration. This allows you to change the
tone with a wah-like effect each time you pick a string.
SW
OFF Envelope modulation is not used.
ON This causes the VCF cutoff frequency to
change from a high to low frequency each
time the string is picked.
This produces a wah-like effect, with the
sound going from low frequencies to high.
Setting the cutoff frequency to an
extremely high value makes the effect
difficult to discern.
INV As opposed to the ON setting, this allows
you to have the VCF cutoff frequency
change from a low to high frequency each
time the string is picked.
This produces a reverse wah-like effect, with
the sound going from high frequencies to low.
Setting the cutoff frequency to a
relatively high value makes the effect
easier to discern.
