Sound Parameter

Largo User´s Manual

Semitone

-12...+12

Sets the pitch of the oscillator in semitone steps. The
standard setting for this parameter is 0, but there are cases
where different values are interesting as well.

[

Organ sounds often include a fifth, therefore one
oscillator's semitone parameter must be set to +7.

[

Lead and Solo sounds might sound interesting when
you set one Oscillator to e.g. a fourth (+5
semitones).

[

When making ring modulated or FM sounds, try to
use dissonant values, e.g. +6 or +8.

Detune

-64...+63

Fine-tunes the oscillator in steps of 1/128th of a semitone.
The audible result of detuned oscillators is a Chorus or
Flanger effect. Use a positive setting for one oscillator and
an equivalent negative setting for another.

[

A low value of ±1 results in a slow and soft Flanger
effect.

[

Mid-ranged settings of ±5 are perfect for pads and
other fat sounding programs.

[

High values of ±12 or above will give a strong
detune that can be used for accordions or effect
sounds.

Bend Range

-24...+24

Determines the intensity of the pitchbend via MIDI
Pitchbend messages in semitones for the selected
oscillator.

Keytrack

-200%...+196%

Determines how much the pitch of the selected oscillator
depends on the MIDI note number. The reference note for
Keytrack is E3, note number 64. For positive settings, the
oscillator pitch rises on notes above the reference note,
for negative settings the oscillator pitch falls by the same
amount and vice versa. A setting of +100% corresponds
to a 1:1 scale, e.g. when an octave is played on the
keyboard the pitch changes for the same amount. Other
settings than +100% make sense especially when using
ring modulation, FM or oscillator synchronization. Try to
use values in the range 0%…+75% or even negative
settings for one oscillator while leaving the second at
+100% Keytrack.
