Virtual Patch Mode

Early analog synthesizers used patch cables to create signal paths between various parameters (for example, using an envelope to
modulate filter cutoff). Many digital synths today don't allow for this kind of easy patching flexibility. With the MS2000's Virtual Patch

function, any of eight modulation sources can be routed to one of eight parameters, and there are four Virtual Patch setups
available for every Program!
Let’s try it.

1.

First select program H16:INIT Program.

2.

In the VIRTUAL PATCH section, press the [SELECT] key repeatedly until the PATCH 1 LED is lit.

3.

Now press the [SOURCE] key repeatedly until the VELOCITY LED is lit

Press the [DESTINATION] key repeatedly until

the CUTOFF LED is lit

Rotate the PATCH 1 knob all the way to the right.

4.

Now play the keyboard with varied degrees of velocity and you’ll hear how we’ve set VELOCITY (SOURCE) to control

CUTOFF (DESTINATION) at full intensity.

5.

In the same way as the previous steps, continue to create VIRTUAL PATCHES for PATCH 2 and PATCH 3, so that the
SOURCE, DESTINATION and INTENSITY settings are as follows:



The results of your new Virtual Patch setup: The sound gets brighter and louder, the harder you play, and the sound pans from

left to right as you play across the keyboard range.

Overview of the Effects

Each Program in the MS2000 can include a Modulation effect, Delay, and Equalizer. For Modulation effects, you can select from 3
types: Chorus/Flanger, Ensemble, or Phaser. The 3 Delays available are Stereo Delay, Cross Delay, and L/R Delay. The Delay times

can be controlled by the TEMPO knob when the MS2000 is running on its internal clock, and can also be controlled by external MIDI
clock.
