Distortion

Distortion

The Pro 2 features stereo analog distortion which can be used to add

warmth, harmonic complexity, and even an aggressive edge to sounds.

The character of the distortion is affected by the harmonic content of a

program. Sounds with more high-end will sound different than sounds

with fewer harmonics. To add distortion, use the front-panel

diStortion

knob or the

vol

/

diSt

tab of the VCA screen. (To access this screen, turn

any knob in the front-panel

amplifier

envelope

section.)

Transpose

The up and down buttons in the transpose section transpose the keyboard

up or down in octaves. The LED indicates the current keyboard trans-

position state. Transposing the keyboard also changes the MIDI note

numbers of the keys so that MIDI notes sent are also transposed. Trans-

pose settings are global and are not saved with individual programs.
