When you press [7 (Panel View)], the Panel View screen will
appear, which displays the above parameters in graphical
fashion, simulating an analog synthesizer. From the Panel View
screen, you can press [2 (Image View)] to open the Image View
screen, where you can see a graphical indication of the D Beam
output value. Press [EXIT] to leave this screen. To exit from this
screen, press [EXIT].
OSC 1/2 Waveform
Select the waveform. SAW is a sawtooth wave, and SQR is a square
wave.
Value: SAW, SQR
OSC 1/2 Pulse Width
Specifies the pulse width of the waveform. By cyclically modifying
the pulse width you can create subtle changes in the tone.
* The Pulse Width is activated when “SQR” is selected with OSC1/2
waveform.
Value: 0–127
OSC 1/2 Coarse Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in semitone steps
(+/-4 octaves).
Value: -48–+48
OSC 1/2 Fine Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-
50 cents).
Value: -50–+50
OSC2 Level
Adjust the OSC2 level.
Value: 0–127
OSC Sync Switch
Turning this switch on produces a complex sound with many
harmonics. This is effective when the OSC1 pitch is higher than the
OSC2 pitch.
Value: OFF, ON
Filter Type
Selects the type of filter.
OFF: No filter is used.
LPF: Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all frequencies
above the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Frequency). 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 in the region
of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Frequency), and cuts the rest.
This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds.
HPF: High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the region below
the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Frequency). This is suitable for
creating percussive sounds emphasizing their higher ones.
PKG: Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in the region
of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Frequency). You can use this to
create wah-wah effects by employing an LFO to change the
cutoff frequency cyclically.
Cutoff
Selects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on
the waveform’s frequency components.
Value: 0–127
Resonance
Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff
frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings
can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.
Value: 0–127
Level
Sets the volume.
Value: 0–127
Chorus Send Level
Sets the level of the signal sent to chorus.
Value: 0–127
Reverb Send Level
Sets the level of the signal sent to reverb.
Value: 0–127
LFO Rate
Adjusts the modulation rate, or speed, of the LFO.
Value: 0–127
LFO Osc 1 Pitch Depth
Specifies the depth to which the LFO will modulate the OSC1 pitch.
Value: -63–+63
LFO Osc 2 Pitch Depth
Specifies the depth to which the LFO will modulate the OSC2 pitch.
Value: -63–+63
LFO Osc 1 Pulse Width Depth
Specifies the depth to which the LFO will modulate the pulse width
of the OSC1 waveform.
* The Pulse Width is activated when “SQR” is selected with OSC1/2
waveform.
Value: -63–+63
LFO Osc 2 Pulse Width Depth
Specifies the depth to which the LFO will modulate the pulse width
of the OSC2 waveform.
* The Pulse Width is activated when “SQR” is selected with OSC1/2
waveform.
Value: -63–+63
Range (Solo synth range)
Specifies the range in which the pitch of the solo synth will vary.
Value: 2 OCTAVES, 4 OCTAVES, 8 OCTAVES
