ADDING EFFECTS
You can add Multi Eff ects such as Chorus, Delay, Overdrive, etc., to the MONO

WHAT IS AN “OSCILLATOR?”
An Oscillator is the basic sound-producing unit of a synthesizer. Th ere are several
different types which produce different waveforms having different harmonic
structures. Th
ese in turn can be manipulated in various ways to produce a wide variety
of diff erent musical eff ects.
Th
e MONO SYNTH on the SK PRO follows the pattern of classic analog synthesizers.
“Mono” is an abbreviation for “Monophonic,” meaning that this Voice Section plays
one note at a time. If multiple notes are played on the keyboard, only one note will
sound. Th
e Oscillator types available on the SK PRO are explained starting on the
next page.
When you are in PLAY Mode, a page similar to the one shown at
left will display if the MONO SYNTH Section only is selected via
the [ALLOCATE] button or by repeatedly touching the [PLAY]
button.
NOTE: The MANUAL feature is explained in more detail on page 29.
