7. Keyboard and Master Controls

The row of switches and sliders along the bottom of Phosphor’s window provide some handy shortcuts for
creating new sounds, control Phosphor’s response to MIDI keyboards, and setting output levels.

Starting from the left and heading right:

L+R Link

Turning on the L+R Link button cause the controls for the Primary Oscillator and the left delay/filter to affect
the corresponding controls for the Secondary Oscillator and the right delay/filter. In other words, if you move
a slider on the Primary Oscillator, the corresponding slider for the Secondary Oscillator will move as well. This
lets you rapidly adjust parameters both oscillators and delays/filters to the same setting. Note that it doesn’t
work the other way around: controls for the Secondary Oscillator and right delay/filter do not affect their
corresponding controls on the left. This lets you set both parameters to the same value with controls on the
left, then vary those on the right slightly.

Rand All

Clicking the Rand All button sets most of Phosphor’s controls to random positions. Some controls, such as
CROSSMOD, are not affected because randomizing them tends to not produce useful results. Also, some of the
modulation sliders are subjected to only slight amounts of randomization, again with the intent of producing
interesting results more often than not. Use the Rand All button to create unexpected starting points for new
sounds.

Mod Wheel Destination (Dest)

The MOD WHEEL DEST switches control whether the modulation wheel on your MIDI keyboard affects

Phosphor’s LFO. It has four positions: OFF, LFO1, LFO2, and 1+2. If set to LFO1, the mod wheel controls how
much LFO One affects the parameters it is connected to through the modulation sliders. Pushing the wheel

forward increases the LFO’s effect. If the Mod Wheel Dest switch is set to LFO2, the mod wheel controls LFO
Two. If it’s set to 1+2, the mod wheel controls both LFOs. If the switch is set to OFF—well, hopefully we don’t
need to explain this to you.
