FM FREQ sets the modulation frequency. Here, the sound is modulated in
pitch using a sine wave. With values starting from the knob’s 9 o’
clock position, the modulation enters the audible range, resulting
in a broad frequency spectrum. This allows creating atonal and
metallic timbres. At lower values, FM will result in modulations
comparable to a typical LFO.
WAVE is a mix control that seamlessly blends a sinusoid wave form into
a rectangular shape. Here, the sound changes from soft to harder.
Within the first half of the control’s range, the sound receives
additional rawness and depth. At higher values, the sound will
start to overdrive and distort. The interaction between WAVE and
the FM parameter will provide a broad sound palette for different
percussion sounds.

The MULTI channel contains three oscillators with broad tuning ranges. Because
of this, the resulting sounds are very flexible, ranging from bass drums and
toms to cowbells and other metallic percussions to sound effects.
DECAY sets the sound’s length.
PITCH defines the pitch of the first oscillator as well as the base pitch for
the other two oscillators.
BEND adjusts the amount of the DECAY envelope on the frequency.
This control is centered. In its central position, no modulation
is present. Turn clockwise from the center position to modulate
the pitch, descending it. Turn counterclockwise from the center
position will invert the modulation, resulting in ascending pitches.
This modulation interacts with the DECAY setting.
With PITCH being set to its minimum or maximum, BEND can no
longer fully modulate the pitches.
