Feedback: 0…127

—The left audio output of each voice

can feed back into the signal path pre-filter. Depending

upon the amount of feedback, this can result in anything

from a pleasing fuzzy distortion-like sound to unpredict-

able harmonic squealing and widespread pandemonium. A

setting of 0 prevents any of the signal from feeding back.

See “Tempest Voice Architecture” on page 24 for more

information.

Note:

Because the feedback loop is taken from the left output, pan settings

and modulation will affect the behavior and level of feedback, so be careful

(and maybe turn down your monitors/headphones while tweaking?)!

Volume: 0…127

—Sets the volume of the current sound before it is sent to the

mixer.

Note:

Volume level can be set, or affected by modulation, at several points

in the signal path, so clipping distortion may occur if the levels and/or modu-

lation amounts are set high. If clipping is undesirable, simply turn the level

and/or mod amount down until it stops clipping.
