Playing in Patch ModeD Beam (Solo Synth)You can use the D Beam controller to perform in a way similar to ona mono synth.fig.05-019_50OSC 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 TypeWhen you press [F6 (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 return to the Control Settingscreen.For details on these settings, refer to “Assigning a Parameterto a Controller” (p. 48).OSC 1/2 WaveformSelect the waveform. SAW is a sawtooth wave, and SQR is a squarewave.Value: SAW, SQROSC 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 OSC2 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)in order to round off, or un-brighten the sound.This is the most common filter used in synthesizers.BPF: Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies inthe region of the cutoff frequency (CutoffFrequency), and cuts the rest. This can be usefulwhen creating distinctive sounds.HPF: High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in theregion below the cutoff frequency (CutoffFrequency). This is suitable for creating percussivesounds emphasizing their higher tones.PKG: Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies inthe region of the cutoff frequency (CutoffFrequency). You can use this to create wah-waheffects by employing an LFO to change the cutofffrequency 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: 0–12749
