Ring Modulator, Noise And Mixer
Pressing the [MIX/VCF] KNOB PARAMETER GROUP
switch lets you use CONTROL knobs 1-4 to determine
the levels of the VCO1, VCO2, Ring Modulator and
Noise signals, respectively. CONTROL knob 5 lets you
determine the cutoff frequency of the High Pass Filter
applied to the signal which is output from the mixer,
and CONTROL knob 6 lets you select the VCF filter
type (LPF, HPF, BPF, BEF) which is controlled by the VCF
Cutoff frequency (in the [VCF] parameter group).
CONTROL knob 7 lets you adjust the Filter Modulation
Depth to create a wah effect.
For more information about [MIX/VCF] parameters, see page 66.
3. VCA Edit
Pressing the [VCA] KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switch
gives you access to the voltage controlled amplifier
parameters, which let you determine the volume of the
sound and configure the Amplitude Envelope
Generator (AEG).
AEG
CONTROL knobs 1-4 let you determine the Attack,
Decay, Sustain and Release values, respectively, to give
you precision control over how the volume of the voice
changes over time—from when a key is pressed, held,
then released, and subsequently how long it takes for
the sound to terminate. The diagrams which follow
show the difference in envelope generator
characteristics for some common instruments.

Amod Depth And Vel Sens
CONTROL knob 7 lets you adjust Amplitude
Modulation Depth to create a tremolo effect by using
LFO1. CONTROL knob 8 lets you set the Velocity
Sensitivity to determine the amplitude of the VCA in
relation to playing strength, to either increase dynamic
range with a heavier or lighter touch.
For more information about Amod Depth and Vel Sens parameters, see page 70.
Feedback And Volume
CONTROL knob 5 lets you determine the feedback
level which is output from the VCA and then "fed
back" into the input of the mixer, causing the signal to
become fat. CONTROL knob 6 lets you determine the
overall output level from the VCA before the signal
passes to the Effect block.
For more information about Feedback and Volume parameters, see page 69.
4. LFO Edit
The Low Frequency Oscillator is an oscillator which
generates low frequency signals to let you apply a
modulation signal to specific aspects of the voice. For
example, applying the LFO to the VCO creates vibrato,
applying it to the VCF creates wah, and applying it to
the VCA creates tremolo. The AN1x has two separate
LFOs which give you a wide range of control over
modulation.
Wave And Speed
Pressing the [PEG/LFO] KNOB PARAMETER GROUP
switch lets you use CONTROL knob 5 to select the
LFO1 Wave from 21 types available. CONTROL knob
6 lets you adjust LFO1 Speed, and CONTROL knob 7
lets you determine the LFO1 Delay time of the
modulation. CONTROL knob 8 lets you adjust the
LFO2 Speed for the LFO2 wave, which is fixed to a
triangle wave.
For more information about LFO parameters, see page 54.
Storing A Voice
As you edit your voice, depending on whether you're
working on Scene 1, Scene 2 or the Scene Control sound,
you may want to perform Voice Store operations.
