PROG P4: Amp/EQ
This page controls the settings for the Drive/Wave Shape,
Amp, 3 band EQ section. Here, you can:
Specify drive or wave shaping.
Specify the amp volume level and keyboard tracking.
Specify the pan (stereo position).
Make settings for the three-band EQ.
4–1: Amp/WaveShape/Driver
4–1a: Driver/Wave Shape
Drive/Wave Shape [Off, Drive, Wave Shape]
Activates the drive or wave shape functions.
This setting will affect the maximum number of voices.
Off: Drive and wave shape functions will be off.
Drive: Drive will be applied. This produces a distinctive
saturation or low-frequency boost effect. The depth of
distortion is adjusted by Depth and by the output levels of
each oscillator in the P2-1: OSC Basic page Mixer.
Wave Shape: Applies wave shaping. Wave shaping is
applied with the wave shape type selected by Wave Shape
Type. This deforms the input waveform to generate
numerous overtones that were not present in the original
signal.
Position [PreFiltA, PreAmp]
Pre Filter A: Drive or wave shaping will be applied to the
oscillator waveform before filter A. This setting is typically
used to directly modify the waveform by applying wave
shaping to the oscillator waveform.
Pre Amp: Drive or wave shaping will be applied to the
oscillator waveform before the amp. This setting is typically
used to apply drive to the output of the filter in which the
resonance has been boosted, producing a distinctive
distortion.
Depth [000…127]
Specifies the depth at which the drive or wave shape
functions will be applied.
Wave Shape Type [Decimator…Level Boost]
Selects the type of wave shape. This is shown and can be
edited if Drive/WS is set to Wave Shape.
This setting will affect the maximum number of voices.
Some settings may produce noise.
Decimator: Lowers the sampling frequency.
Hard Clip: Flattens any portion of the waveform above the
limit.
Oct Saw: Cuts the portion of the waveform above the
threshold level and moves it within the limits to the inverse
position upward or downward.
Multi Tri: Sending a sawtooth wave through this will
produce a triangle wave.
Multi Sin: Sending a sawtooth wave through this will
produce a sine wave.
Sub OSC Saw, Sub OSC Squ, Sub OSC Tri, Sub OSC Sin:
The selected waveform will sound one octave below
oscillator 1. Depth adjusts the mix amount relative to
oscillator 1.
