User Manual

For the 2nd source of modulation, choose the “Velocity” to modulate the filter “Cutoff”.
Turn the “Amount” knob to a value of 0.31.
Place the “Range” knob of oscillator3 to Low mono (the last position on the left). It will
oscillate in low frequencies (like a LFO)
Lower the tuning to –48 ( -4 octaves) by turning the central knob to the left with a left click
on the mouse. This oscillator will not produce audible sound (if only light “clicks” marking
the oscillation cycle), it will be used to modulate the filter cut-off frequency.
Now, click on the Filter Modulation to activate the filter cut-off frequency modulation by
oscillator3.
Finally, increase the value of the modulation wheel to set the rate of modulation on the
frequency of modulation.
By varying the force of playing on the keys of your MIDI keyboard (velocity), the filter cut-
off frequency is varied with each note.
The 3 examples that we have just seen will give you the basics necessary in order to delve
a little deeper. Try other settings. The possibilities for synthesis are numerous.
6.2.1. Using the arpeggiator
Now let’s see how to program and play the arpeggiator by using the sound from the
previous section 8.1.2.
First let’s lower the Attack time of the amplitude envelope in the “Loudness contour” section.
Click on the arpeggiator “Play” button and increase the “speed” parameter.
Turn the “Amount” knob
The velocity to modulate the “Cutoff”
Click on the “Play” button
