Explanation

Osc 1–3
Pulse Width

SHIFT+TIMBRE

0–63

This effect changes the duty ratio of the

pulse width to alter the waveform.

You can use this effect with other

waveforms besides SQR (square wave).

*

A value of zero results in a 50:50%

duty ratio.

Osc 1 Level

[OSC 1] slider

0–127

Sets the volume of OSC 1.

Osc 2 Level

[OSC 2] slider

0–127

Sets the volume of OSC 2.

Osc 3 Level

[OSC 3] slider

0–127

Sets the volume of OSC 3.

Osc 1–3 Fat

0–63

Distorts the waveform and adds a
frequency component one octave lower

than the original waveform.

Osc 1-2 Sync

OFF, ON

Produces an oscillator sync effect that’s

found in analog synthesizers and other

sound generators.
Resets OSC 1 using the pitch cycle of OSC 2

(only for OSC 1 and 2).

Osc 1–3
SSaw
Detune

0–127

Adjusts how much the SuperSAW is

detuned.

Larger values create a greater detune

effect.

*

This is enabled only when “SSAW” is

selected for the waveform.

Osc 1–3 LED
Color

RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, PURPLE,
PINK, WHITE, SKYBLUE, P.YELLOW, P.BLUE,

P.PINK, L.RED, L.ORANGE, L.YELLOW, L.GREEN,

P.GREEN, L.SKYBLUE, L.BLUE, L.PURPLE

Sets the oscillator section LED color for
each oscillator.

LFO 2

LFO 2 Rate
Note/Rate

[OSC 4] slider

0–1023 or 1/64T, 1/64, 1/32T, 1/32, 1/16T, 1/32.,

1/16, 1/8T, 1/16., 1/8, 1/4T, 1/8., 1/4, 1/2T, 1/4.,
1/2, 1T, 1/2., 1, 2T, 1., 2, 4

Sets the speed of the LFO 2 cycle.

The LFO 2 cycle (rate) is set as a note
length when the LFO2 Rate Sync setting is

“ON”.

LFO 2 Pitch
Depth

PITCH (when LFO

2 is selected)

0–100

Sets the depth of LFO 2 when it is applied

to the pitch.

LFO 2 Fade

TIMBRE (when

LFO 2 is selected)

0–1023

Sets how long it takes for LFO 2 to reach

maximum amplitude.

LFO 2 Type

Sets the LFO 2 waveform.
SINE

Sine wave

TRI

Triangle wave

SAW-UP

Sawtooth wave

SAW-DW

Sawtooth wave (negative polarity)

SQR

Square wave

RND

Random wave

TRP

Trapezoidal wave

S&H

Sample & hold wave (randomly changes

the output value once per cycle).

CHS

Chaos wave

VSINE

Deformed sine wave (randomly changes

the amplitude of the sine wave once per

cycle).

LFO 2 Rate
Sync

OFF, ON

Turn this ON to sync the LFO 2 cycle with

the tempo.

LFO 2 Key
Trig

OFF, ON

Sets whether to synchronize the start of

the LFO 2 cycle with the timing you use to

play the keys (“ON” to synchronize, “OFF”

to disable).

LFO 2 Flt
Depth

0–100

Sets the depth of LFO 2 when it is applied

to the cutoff frequency.

LFO 2 Amp
Depth

0–100

Sets how much LFO 2 affects the volume.

LFO 2 Pan
Depth

-63–+63

Sets the depth of the LFO 2 when it is
applied to the pan setting.
