(1) DISPLAY - this large backlit LCD screen
shows the synthesizer status, parameters,
and the  ve main menus. The contrast and
brightness are adjustable on the SYSTEM
SETTINGS page of the GLOBAL menu.
(2) NAVIGATION - navigate within the display
menus using the UP, DOWN, +/YES and
-/NO buttons.
(3) MENUS - these switches allow access to the
display menus.
PROG MENU- the main display of the
synthesizer. Shows the current program, the
currently adjusted parameter and a visual
representation of the parameter and the
three envelopes.
FX MENU - add up to four e ects from the
list available. Change the e ects routing by
selecting one of the ten MODEs available.
Each of the e ects has individual controls
for all parameters.
GLOBAL MENU - view and adjust settings
for the synthesizer. There are  ve pages,
CONNECTIVITY, KEYBOARD, PEDAL,
FADER and SYSTEM.
COMPARE MENU - in this menu, you can
compare the current program with the stored
program and see the di erence in physical
fader positions.
WRITE MENU - in this menu, you can write
the current program settings to the program
library. You can also rename the program and
set its category type.
(4) DATA ENTRY - selected parameters on the
display are adjusted using the rotary knob or
the fader. The rotary knob has a click which
allows very accurate control. The fader allows
rapid adjustment across the full range.
MOD- this switch opens the modulation
matrix on the display and allows up to 8
modulations to be created from the list of
sources and destinations.
(5) ARP/SEQ - this area controls the arpeggiator
and the control sequencer.
ON/OFF - when activated, this generates an
arpeggio based on pressed keys. Note - the
control sequencer is turned on from its edit
page only.
RATE - adjusts the rate of the arpeggiator /
sequencer in beats per minute (BPM).
GATE TIME - adjusts the duration of the note
played based on a percentage of the time
between triggered notes.
CHORD - allows you to play any chord with a
single key. The chord is given a root note and
mapped across the keyboard.
POLY CHORD - allows you to play multiple
chords from multiple keys. The chords are
mapped to individual keys.
TAP/HOLD - tap this button in time with
your performance to set the rate/BPM, or
press and hold to engage the HOLD function.
EDIT - this allows additional arpeggiator/
control sequencer parameters to be edited
from the main display.
(6) LFO 1 and 2- low frequency oscillators used
to modulate or control other parameters.
RATE- this sets the rate, or speed of the LFO.
DELAY TIME - the duration of time which
will elapse before the LFO starts.
EDIT - this allows additional LFO parameters
to be edited from the main display.
LFO WAVEFORMs - these LEDs indicate the
type and status of the waveforms produced
by each LFO.
(7) DCO 1 & 2 - These analog full range
oscillators create waveforms which are the
sound source of the synthesizer.
DCO 1 & 2 PITCH MOD - amount of pitch
modulation applied to respective DCO.
DCO 1 SQUAREWAVE- this switch turns the
square wave output for DCO 1 on/o .
DCO 1 PWM - amount of pulse
width modulation applied to
the DCO 1 square wave.
DCO 1 SAWTOOTH- this switch turns the
sawtooth output for DCO 1 on/o .
DCO 2 TONE MOD- amount of tone
modulation applied to DCO 2.
DCO 2 PITCH- controls the base pitch
of DCO 2.
DCO 2 LEVEL- controls the level of DCO 2.
NOISE LEVEL- controls the amount of white
noise added to the oscillators.
EDIT- this allows additional DCO parameters
to be edited from the main display.
(8) POLY - this area is used to control the
polyphony of the synthesizer.
UNISON DETUNE - when voices are playing
in unison, this adjusts the amount of
detuning between the voices.
EDIT- this allows additional POLY parameters
to be edited from the main display.
(9) VCF - the voltage controlled low pass  lter
used to  lter high frequencies from the
sound of the synthesizer.
FREQ - adjusts the cut-o frequency of
the  lter.
2-POLE - changes the roll o slope of the
 lter from the default 4-POLE mode to a
2-POLE mode.
RES - adjusts the resonance of the  lter
cut-o point.
EDIT - allows additional VCF parameters to
be edited from the main display.
ENV - adjusts the level of the VCF ENVELOPE
which controls the  lter cut-o frequency.
INVERT - used to invert the polarity of
the VCF envelope applied to the  lter
cut-o frequency.
LFO - adjusts the depth of the selected
LFO waveform applied to the  lter
cut-o frequency.
KYBD - adjusts the amount of keyboard
tracking to be applied to the  lter
cut-o frequency.
(10) VCA - the voltage controlled ampli er used
to control the output level.
LEVEL - controls the output level of the VCA.
EDIT - this allows additional VCA parameters
to be edited from the main display.
(11) HPF - the voltage controlled high pass  lter
used to  lter low frequencies from the sound
of the synthesizer.
FREQ - used to adjust the frequency of the
high pass  lter.
BOOST - this switch applies a +12 dB bass
boost to the signal path
