Engine
Optimizer
Selects Engine Optimizer settings for the Oscillators.
NORMAL This is the default setting. It is suitable for the vast majority
of sounds that the A6 produces.
FAST PITCH
CHANGES
This setting is suitable for programs that require extremely
fast changes in Oscillator frequency.
SMOOTH
PITCH
CHANGES
This setting is suitable for programs that require extremely
smooth Oscillator pitch or PWM changes. For example, it
can be used to smooth out a sine or triangle wave LFO
applied to the Oscillators.
ßSUPER
SMOOTH This is an even smoother setting for the Oscillators. This
setting should only be used in cases where extremely
smooth Oscillator pitch or PWM changes are required. This
setting should not be used for percussive sounds.
FILTER
Filter Engine
Optimizer
Selects Engine Optimizer settings for the Filters.
NORMAL This is the default setting, suitable for the vast majority of
sounds that the A6 produces.
FAST
PERCUSSIVE
This setting is suitable for programs that require extremely
fast filter sweeps. For example, many bass drum sounds are
made by quickly sweeping a self-resonant filter. This
setting is ideal for that case.
WARM PADS
DARK BASS This setting is suitable for programs where an extremely
smooth filter transition is required. Examples of this
include warm pads and dark basses.
MEDIUM
PERCUSSIVE
This is an intermediate setting between NORMAL and FAST .
