Creating a PerformanceD Beam (Solo Synth)You can use the D Beam controller to perform in a way similar to ona mono synth.fig.09-014_50OSC1 Sync SwitchTurning this switch on produces a complex sound with manyharmonics. This is effective when the OSC1 pitch is higher than theOSC2 pitch.Value: OFF, ONFilter TypeFor details on these settings, refer to “Selecting the ParameterControlled by the Realtime Controllers or D BeamController (Control Setting)” (p. 114).When you press [F7 (Panel View)], the Panel View screen willappear, which displays the above parameters in graphicalfashion, simulating an analog synthesizer. From the Panel Viewscreen, you can press [F2 (Image View)] to open the Image Viewscreen, where you can see a graphical indication of the D Beamoutput value. Press [EXIT] to leave this screen.To exit from thisscreen, press [EXIT].Settings for the Solo Synth are saved for system settings.OSC 1/2 WaveformSelect the waveform. SAW is a sawtooth wave, and SQR is a squarewave.OSC 1/2 Pulse WidthSpecifies the pulse width of the waveform. By cyclically modifyingthe pulse width you can create subtle changes in the tone.* The Pulse Width is activated when “SQR” is selected with OSC1/2waveform.Value: 0–127OSC 1/2 Coarse TuneAdjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in semitone steps(+/-4 octaves).Value: -48–+48OSC 1/2 Fine TuneAdjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).Value: -50–+50OSC2 LevelAdjust the level.Value: 0–127Selects the type of filter.OFF: No filter is used.LPF: Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of allfrequencies above the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) inorder to round off, or un-brighten the sound. This is themost common filter used in synthesizers.BPF: Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies in theregion of the cutoff frequency, and cuts the rest. This canbe useful when creating distinctive sounds.HPF: High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the regionbelow the cutoff frequency. This is suitable for creatingpercussive sounds emphasizing their higher tones.PKG: Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in theregion of the cutoff frequency. You can use this to createwah-wah effects by employing an LFO to change thecutoff frequency cyclically.CutoffSelects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect onthe waveform’s frequency components.Value: 0–127ResonanceEmphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutofffrequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settingscan produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.Value: 0–127LevelSets the volume.Value: 0–127Chorus Send LevelSets the level of the signal sent to chorus.Value: 0–127Reverb Send LevelSets the level of the signal sent to reverb.Value: 0–127LFO RateAdjusts the modulation rate, or speed, of the LFO.Value: 0–127LFO Osc 1 Pitch DepthSpecifies the depth to which the LFO will modulate the OSC1 pitch.Value: -63–+63115
