The Sound Controls

A Sound is a collection of all settings required to produce a drum or other type of sound when you play a pad, including samples, oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and more. This section provides a detailed description of each of these settings, and is divided into subsections for each of the principal synthesis blocks:

• Oscillators

• Lowpass Filter

• Highpass Filter

• VCA (voltage controlled amplifier)

• Envelope generators

• LFOs (low frequency oscillators)

• Modulation paths

Many of these parameters have dedicated front panel controls, but many others are accessed only in special Sounds screens. All sound parameters can be visually edited by pressing the Sounds key (in the Screens section.)

There are a total of sixteen different sound parameter screens. To move between them, press the four arrow keys.

On the following two pages is a picture of all sixteen screens, with arrows show­ing which arrow keys to use to move between them. On subsequent pages is a detailed description of each of the parameters shown in these screens.

If the Sounds key is pressed, one of the following screens appears.
