Chapter 3 Giving Variation to Pattern
Chapter3
This procedure is equivalent to the CUTOFF operation of the
Patch Edit function. (P. 92)
In addition, operating the knob with RESONANCE set to a
greater value enhances the effect of the RESONANCE
function on the tone.
Adding Character to the Sound
(RESONANCE)
This setting emphasizes the overtones in the region of the
cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound. This is one
of the tone modifications highlighting the characteristics of
the synthesizer sounds.
Procedure
1.
Select a part, following the procedure described in
“Selecting a part subject to modification.”
2.
Turn the [RESONANCE] knob.
Turning it clockwise produces adds resonance to the
tone.
This procedure is equivalent to the RESONANCE operation
of the Patch Edit function. (P. 93)
Depending on the CUTOFF setting, increasing the
RESONANCE setting may not achieve the intended effect.
To make the effect more conspicuous, modify the CUTOFF
setting as well and confirm the effect.
Applying Cyclic Changes to the
Sound (LFO 1)
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) applies cyclic change to
the sound. Effects such as vibrato, wow and tremolo can be
added by changing the pitch, cutoff frequency and volume
level cyclically.
Procedure
1.
Select a part, following the procedure described in
“Selecting a part subject to modification.” (P. 26)
Select a parameter subject to modification.
2.
With the [LFO1] button held down, set a value using the
[VALUE] dial or the [INC/DEC] buttons.
While it is held down, the “LFO 1 ASSIGN” screen
appears.
When you have finished making your selection,
release the button.
* Select from PITCH, FILTER and AMP. For details, see
Range of settings
described later.
Next, determine the oscillation of LFO.
3.
Press the [LFO1] button.
An LFO waveform can be selected each time this button
is pressed. For details, see
Range of settings
described
later.
4.
Turn the [DEPTH] knob under the [LFO1] button.
Turning it enhances the LFO effect.
(When the knob is in the center position, the LFO will
have no effect.)
Range of settings:
Items subject to modification with [LFO]
- PITCH: Changes note intervals.
When using the filter functions, be careful not to raise the
RESONANCE value too high. Setting the RESONANCE
value too high may cause output at excessively high volume
levels.
Some settings may damage your hearing, or your speakers.
Please use caution.
Using the MC-307 with the Resonance Limiter settings (P.
115) value too high may cause output at excessively high
volume levels.
Some settings may damage your hearing, or your speakers.
Please use caution.
