Electro-Harmonix Synth9 Synthesizer Machine for Electric Guitar & Bass (Power Supply Included) - Manual (Page 2)

INPUT JACK
Plug your instrument or the output of another effects pedal into this ¼” jack. See
Tips 1 & 2 on the following page for more on connecting your SYNTH9.
DRY OUTPUT JACK
The DRY OUTPUT jack outputs the signal present at the INPUT jack through a
buffer circuit. In either EFFECT or BYPASS mode, the dry signal is always present
at the DRY OUTPUT jack.
SYNTH OUTPUT JACK
The SYNTH OUTPUT jack outputs the mix set by the DRY and SYNTH volume
controls. In BYPASS mode, SYNTH OUTPUT outputs the buffered bypass signal.
BYPASS FOOTSWITCH
Press the BYPASS footswitch to toggle the SYNTH OUTPUT jack between buffered
BYPASS and EFFECT mode. The status LED lights when you are in EFFECT mode.
PRESET DESCRIPTIONS
1. OBX – An emulation of the meaty sounding Oberheim ® OB-X. CTRL 1 is a
tone control. Use CTRL 2 to select between 4 octaves.
2. PROFIT V – The Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 provides inspiration for our
versatile PROFIT V preset. CTRL 1 adjusts the sweep time of a downward
filter envelope. CTRL 2 selects between 8 intervals of either octaves or 5ths.
3. VIBE SYNTH – A polyphonic synthesizer with decaying harmonic content and
vibrato. CTRL 1 sets the power and sweep range of harmonics. CTRL 2 adjusts
both vibrato rate and depth simultaneously. As you turn CTRL 2 clockwise the
vibrato rate and amount increases.
4. MINI MOOD – A big sounding Moog ® inspired synthesizer that blends a
portamento synth with a non-portamento synth. (Portamento is when notes
glide from one to another.) Turn the SYNTH VOL knob to set the volume of
the non-portamento synthesizer. Use CTRL 1 to adjust the output volume of
the portamento notes. CTRL 2 sets portamento time. This preset works best
when you play monophonically, one note at a time, where every note is
picked.
To play faster licks, try turning down CTRL 1.
5. EHX MINI – An emulation of the classic Electro-Harmonix Mini Synth. CTRL
1 sets filter envelope sweep time and direction. When CTRL 1 is set to a point
within its counter-clockwise range, it sets the attack time for the filter sweep;
when set clockwise beyond “noon” it controls the decay time of the filter
sweep. CTRL 2 selects between 4 octaves.
6. SOLO SYNTH – A fuzz-synth preset where a synth oscillator and a fuzz
square wave guitar are combined to create one single extreme synth tone!
CTRL 1 is a tone control. CTRL 2 selects between 4 octaves.
