The overall modulation applied to FM is calculated as the sum of both the FM Env
and FM Vel parameters. Therefore you should always bear this total in mind, especi-
ally when FM does not behave as you expect. You can also create interesting effects
by setting one parameter to a positive and the other to a negative amount.
Mixer Section
In the Mixer, you control the volumes of the two oscillators. Ring mo-
dulation and Crack modulation can be applied optionally to extend
the Attack´s tonal range.
Osc 1 0%...100%
Volume of Oscillator 1.
Osc 2 0%...100%
Volume of Oscillator 2.

If the sum of all mixer signals (Osc 1, Osc 2 and Ring Modulator) is higher than
100%, filter saturation will be attained. At this point Resonance doesn´t make
any volume difference, as it does in the normal filtering process. Use this phe-
nomenon for additional sound manipulation.
Env (Envelope) -100%...100%
This controls the influence of Envelope 1 or 2 on the Oscillator 2 level. With positive
settings, the level is increased by the modulation of the envelope, and with negative
settings, the level is decreased. Use this parameter to change the volume of Oscilla-
tor 2 independently over time.
Vel (Velocity) -100%...100%
Determines the amount of influence the selected envelope has on level of Oscillator
2, based on key velocity. This parameter works similarly to the Env parameter, with
the difference that its intensity is velocity based. When you hit the keys smoothly,
the level of Oscillator 2 only rises minimally. When you hit harder, the level will rise
higher.
The overall modulation applied to Oscillator 2 level is calculated as the sum of both
the Env and Vel parameters. Therefore you should always bear this total in mind,
especially when the level does not behave as you expect. You can also create inte-
resting effects by setting one parameter to a positive and the other to a negative
amount.
