____________________________vco
frequency ranges from 0 hz to 20 khz
with transpose set to -12 (default value) C3 produces C2 note (circa 65hz)
ring control cross-fades between vco2 and ring modulation (between vco1 and vco2)
sync control sync amount; vco2 is synced to vco1; set sync to maximum for hard sync; vco2 pitch is normally set higher than vco1
and modulated by an envelope or lfo
____________________________lfo
lfo 1 vibrato
lfo2 pw, cutoff
lfo1 normally generates a pure sine wave; connect another oscillator to phase modulation input for classic fm
if anything is connected to s&h input, lfo1 switches into sample & hold mode and samples the input at its own clock speed; for
vintage random effects, connect noise; the phase knob becomes a lag processor
____________________________vcf
vcf1 default input is mix output
vcf2 default input is vco2
gain control input level (when negative) and overdrive (when positive)
vcf1 cutoff frequency is measured in semitones from 0.00 to 150.00; modulation range is plus/minus 150 semitones
____________________________envelopes
adsr1 vca
adsr2 vco frequencies, cutoff, lfo2 lvl
fall/rise causes the normally flat sustain to fall or rise at a defined rate; use negative values for fall and positive values for rise; the
lower the value, the slower the env
velocity
up attack time
hold hold time at maximum
down decay time
rest rest time before repeat; if set to maximum, the ramp become an envelope; if set to minimum, the ramp become a
lfo

keyf-1 note number; pivots around E3 (midi note 64) so that lower notes can deliver negative values
keyf-2 same as keyf-1 but includes the glide2 offset

stack stack index; use it to create offsets between stacked voices

____________________________general
set mode to duo for duophonic
____________________________fx
a chorus is a very fast delay periodically shortened and lengthened by a dedicated lfo
higher feedback values result in a very dramatic resonant or metallic (due to atonal phase shifting) effect
set depth to minimum for strong tonal coloration but no movement
to preserve the sound body, low bass content bypasses the effect

____________________________mapping generator
the mapping generator is a list of 128 editable values that can be used for various modulation purposes (eg. you can assign a
separate value to each midi note (0 to 127) so that each one sounds different)
map smooth and map quantise use a mapping source to scan through the map (eg. mw); in map smooth mode the values are
interpolated (for softer transitions) in map quantise mode the values are not interpolated
____________________________tweaks
slop adds slow random de-tuning
singing envs causes the envelope of a new voice to start at the current level of the stolen voice's envelope instead of at zero,
emulating the typical behaviour of classic analogue envelopes
____________________________
to get a wide sound pan the two amplifiers apart and detune one (or both) oscillators
a small amount of white noise mixed into a pad patch can give the filters and chorus more frequencies to work with, making the
sound fuller
