11. SYNTH TRACK PARAMETERS
46
11.2.8 PORT
Portamento turns the portamento on/o (ON, OFF)
For more information, please see “9.5.5 PORTAMENTO” on page 29.
11.3 SYN1 PAGE 1
The parameters on the SYN1 page control various aspects of the FM synthesis. You can find more infor-
mation about the Digitone Keys FM synthesis in “APPENDIX A: THE DIGITONE KEYS FM SYNTHESIS” on
page 86 and “A.7 SYN1 PAGE 1 PARAMETERS OVERVIEW” on page 90.
Press [SYN1] once to access this parameter page.
11.3.1 ALGO
Algorithm selects the set structure of how the four operators are connected to each other. (1–8) For
more information, please see “A.3 ALGORITHMS” on page 87.
11.3.2 RATIO C
Sets the frequency ratio for operator C. (0.25–16.0) For more information, please see “A.4 FM RATIOS”
on page 87.
11.3.3 RATIO A
Sets the frequency ratio for operator A. (0.25–16.0) For more information, please see “A.4 FM RATIOS”
on page 87.
11.3.4 RATIO B
Sets the frequency ratio for operator B1 and B2. The minimum value for B1 and B2 is .25. As you turn the
encoder, B2 increases until it reaches the max (16). It then starts over from .25 and B1 increases to the
next value (0.5). This revolving behavior continues until both operators reach the maximum value. This
parameter behavior is similar to the movement of the hands on a watch. (0.25–16.0) For more information,
please see “A.4 FM RATIOS” on page 87.
11.3.5 HARM
Harmonics controls waveform of the operators, C, A, and B1. The parameter is bipolar. Negative parame-
ter values change the harmonics of operator C, while positive parameter values change the harmonics of
operators A and B1. (-26.00–26.00) For more information, please see “A.6 HARMONICS” on page 89.
11.3.6 DTUN
Detune osets the ratio of operator A and B2. Up until a parameter value of around 64, the oset is very
slight to achieve subtle movement and drifting. Above 64 the operators start to detune more heavily.
0.00–127.00)
11.3.7 FDBK
Feedback sets the amount of self modulation of the operator that has feedback. This operator is shown
in the algorithm on the screen with a feedback loop in its upper left corner. (0.00–120.00). For more infor-
mation, please see “A.2 THE OPERATORS” on page 86.
11.3.8 MIX
Each algorithm has two carrier outputs (X and Y) that come from two dierent operators depending on
what algorithm you chose. Use the MIX parameter to mix between these outputs so that you can cross-
fade between two separate timbres.J50 (-64–63). For more information, please see “A.3 ALGORITHMS”
on page 87.
