SUBTRACTOR SYNTHESIZER
(RECORD+REASON)
550
The following parameters can be velocity controlled:
Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels
The Pitch Bend wheel is used for “bending” notes, like bending the strings on a guitar. The Modulation wheel can be
used to apply various modulation while you are playing. Virtually all MIDI keyboards have Pitch Bend and Modulation
controls. Subtractor features not only the settings for how incoming MIDI Pitch Bend and Modulation wheel mes-
sages should affect the sound. Subtractor also has two functional wheels that could be used to apply real time mod-
ulation and pitch bend should you not have these controllers on your keyboard, or if you aren’t using a keyboard at all.
The Subtractor wheels mirror the movements of the MIDI keyboard controllers.
Pitch Bend Range
The Range parameter sets the amount of pitch bend when the wheel is turned fully up or down. The maximum range
is “24” (=up/down 2 Octaves).

Description
Amp This let’s you velocity control the overall volume of the sound. If a positive value is set, the volume will in-
crease the harder you strike a key. A negative value inverts this relationship, so that the volume decreases
if you play harder, and increases if you play softer. If set to zero, the sound will play at a constant volume,
regardless of how hard or soft you play.
FM This sets velocity control for the FM Amount parameter. A positive value will increase the FM amount the
harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
M. Env This sets velocity control for the Mod Envelope Amount parameter. A positive value will increase the enve-
lope amount the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
Phase This sets velocity control for the Phase Offset parameter. This applies to both Osc 1 & 2, but the relative
offset values are retained. A positive value will increase the phase offset the harder you play. Negative val-
ues invert this relationship.
Freq 2 This sets velocity control for the Filter 2 Frequency parameter. A positive value will increase the filter fre-
quency the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
F. Env This sets velocity control for the Filter Envelope Amount parameter. A positive value will increase the en-
velope amount the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
F. Dec This sets velocity control for the Filter Envelope Decay parameter. A positive value will increase the Decay
time the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
Osc Mix This sets velocity control for the Osc Mix parameter. A positive value will increase the Osc 2 Mix amount
the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
A. Attack This sets velocity control for the Amp Envelope Attack parameter. A positive value will increase the Attack
time the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
