You can adjust the following 3 parameters via the Value knobs beneath the display:<br />
Soft Knob Parameter Meaning<br />
#1 LFO1 Rate or<br />
Clock 1<br />
#2 LFO2 Rate or<br />
Clock 2<br />
#3 LFO3 Rate or<br />
Clock 3<br />
Select patch RAM A-64 ‘Tutorial 5’ and listen carefully to the sound as you<br />
adjust this parameter. In this patch, LFO1 is modulating the amount of filter<br />
resonance.<br />
Listen carefully to the sound as you adjust this parameter. In this patch,<br />
LFO2 is modulating the stereo positioning of the sound, or ‘panorama’.<br />
Listen carefully to the sound as you adjust this parameter. In this patch,<br />
LFO3 is modulating the pitch of both oscillators.<br />
Envelopes Menu<br />
Please select patch “Tutorial 6” (RAM8 8-6). This is where you can determine the overall shape of a sound,<br />
both in volume and timbre. The value knobs are assigned as follows:<br />
Soft Knob Parameter Meaning<br />
#1 Amp Attack This determines how long it takes for the sound to reach full volume after a<br />
key is pressed. The higher the value, the longer it takes.<br />
#2 Filter Attack This determines how long it takes for the filter to reach the maximum value<br />
as determined by the current setting for Cutoff 1 or 2 (Offset), coupled with<br />
the Filter Env 1/2 Amount value. No effect will be heard here unless Filter<br />
1/2 Env Amt is set to a value other than zero.<br />
#3 Filter Env Amt This determines the degree to which the filter envelope will affect the cutoff<br />
of the filters. For this to have any audible effect, you will need to turn the<br />
Cutoff knob down - a value of around 30 should be suitable. Now, keep<br />
playing notes as you gradually increase the value of Env Amount. Notice<br />
how the beginning of the notes (the attack) gets sharper and brighter,<br />
the higher the value of Env Amount? That’s because the filter envelope is<br />
sweeping the cutoff right up, then right down again at the start of every<br />
note (this is why you needed to turn Cutoff down, so that the envelope had<br />
somewhere to go).<br />
Effects Menu<br />
Please select patch “Tutorial 7” (RAM8 8-7).<br />
Enter the Effects menu. Effects are used for further processing of the entire output of the synth engine. You<br />
can adjust 3 parameters relevant to the current patch via the Value knobs beneath the display:
