Feedback
The analog output of the VCA is input to a tuned delay, whose output is mixed
with the oscillators and input to the character effects. Each voice has its own
tuned delay.
Feedback Amount: -127…0…127 —Sets the level of feedback. As the level
goes up, the feedback will eventually oscillate at the set Tuning. Medium levels
of feedback add depth and movement to the sound. Negative values invert the
signal producing different results than positive values.
Note: Be careful when using feedback and filter settings with high reso-
nance. It can get loud quickly!
Tuning: 0…48 —Sets the base frequency of the feedback loop. It steps in
semitones from C0 to C4 for a four-octave range. The frequency always tracks
the keyboard. The exact frequency is influenced by other factors, such as the filter
frequency and number of poles, which can drive it slightly sharp or flat.
