be edited. 

2 

Adjust the overall volume level of the active track with the 

LEVEL

knob.

3 

Edit a Sound by adjusting the parameters found on the synth track 

PARAMETER

 pages. Access these pages by pressing 

the 

[PARAMETER] 

page keys. If a page contains a subpage, press the 

[PARAMETER] 

page key again to access it. Use 

the 

DATA ENTRY

 knobs to change the parameters.

OSC1

 controls oscillator 1. Contains one sub page for the noise generator.

OSC2 

controls oscillator 2. The sub page hosts parameters relevant for both oscillators.

FILTERS 

controls the two filters and the overdrive. One 24 dB/octave 4-pole lowpass ladder filter and 

one 2-pole multimode filter are available, connected in series with the overdrive between them.

AMP 

contains parameters for the amplitude envelope. Effect sends are found here as well.

ENV

 offers two freely assignable envelopes. The first one also controls the filters. The second enve-

lope is located in a subpage.

LFO

 is where parameters for the two freely assignable LFOs are found. Contains one subpage.

EDITING THE FX AND CV TRACKS

Editing the FX and CV tracks is very similar to editing the Sounds of the synth tracks of the active kit. The 

PARAMETER

pages contain parameters relevant for the two types of track.

THE NAMING MENU

The naming procedure is identical for the various naming menus that will appear when Sounds, kits, et cetera are saved 

or renamed.
