Creating a Patch
FXM ON
(Wave FXM Switch) OFF, ON Sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
[FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation)]
FXM uses a specified waveform to apply frequency modula-
tion to the currently selected waveform, creating complex
overtones. This can be useful when creating wilder sounds or
sound effects.
TEMPO SYNC
(Wave Tempo Sync) OFF, ON Determines whether the waveform is synchronized (ON) or
not synchronized (OFF) to the Patch’s tempo.
FXM COLOR
(Wave FXM Color) 1–4 Specifies how FXM will perform its frequency modulation.
Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings
result in a more metallic sound.
FXM DEPTH
(Wave FXM Depth) 0–16 Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
COARSE TUNE
(Tone Coarse Tune) -48–+48 Adjusts the pitch of the Tone in semitone steps over a range of
+/-4 octaves.
FINE TUNE
(Tone Fine Tune) -50–+50 Adjusts the pitch of the Tone in 1-cent steps (1/100th of a semi-
tone) over a range of half a semitone up or down.
RANDOM PITCH
(Tone Random Pitch Depth) 0–1200 Specifies the width of random pitch deviation that occurs each
time a key is pressed. If you don’t want a random pitch
change, set this parameter to 0. The setting is adjustable in
units of 1 cent (1/100th of a semitone).
PITCH KF
(Wave Pitch Key follow) -200–+200 Sets the amount of pitch change that occurs per octave on the
keyboard. If you want the pitch to change by one octave for
each 12 keys on the keyboard—as on traditional keyboard in-
struments—set this parameter to +100. For a two-octave pitch
change over the span of 12 keys, set this parameter to +200.
Negative (-) values cause the Tone’s pitch to go down as you
go up the keyboard. If you want the same pitch to sound re-
gardless of what key is pressed, set this parameter to 0.
PITCH ENVELOPE
These parameters determine the amount of pitch enveloping—changes
to your basic pitch settings that occur over time—the effect of velocity on
the pitch envelope, and the basic characteristics of the pitch envelope it-
self.
ENV DEPTH
(Pitch Envelope Depth) -12–+12 Determines the amount of pitch enveloping to be used—high-
er settings result in more extreme enveloping. Negative (-) set-
tings invert the direction of the changes made by the Pitch.
