Freq Page
Via this page, you can set up the parameters related to frequency and pitch.
- Waveform
-
Allows you to select a waveform for the operator.
- Skirt
-
Determines the spread of the skirt at the bottom of the formant harmonics curve.
-
For the All1, All2, Odd1, Odd2, Res1, and Res2 waveforms, higher values produce a wider skirt, and smaller values result in a narrower skirt.
-
For the Saw and Saw Rounded waveforms, Skirt changes the saw wave from a falling to a raising edge.
-
For the Square and Square Rounded waveforms, Skirt changes the pulse width from square to pulse.
NoteThis parameter is not available for the TX81Z , SY99, Sine, and Noise waveforms.
-
- Resonance
-
Allows you to add resonance when Waveform is set to Res 1 or Res 2. In order to do so, shift the center frequency of the wave spectrum to a higher frequency.
-
With a setting of 0, the center frequency is the same as the fundamental frequency.
-
With a setting of 99, the center frequency is shifted to the 100th harmonic.
-
- Key On Reset
-
Activate this parameter to reset the phase of the operator with each note played.
- Initial Phase
-
Adjusts the start phase of the operator waveform when Key On Reset is activated. The phase can be set to a value between 0 and 360°.
Pitch Envelope
In addition to the level envelope, each operator also provides a basic pitch envelope. This envelope can be used to create different pitch attacks for different operator chains, for example, to simulate a brass section, where not all players hit the final pitch at the same time.
- Init Level
-
The level at which the envelope starts.
- Attack Time
-
The time it takes to reach the Attack Level.
- Attack Level
-
The level to which the envelope moves when a note is played.
- Decay Time
-
The time it takes for the envelope to fall back to a neutral level, with no change in pitch.
FM Operator Settings
- Mute Operator
-
Mutes the operator. This allows you to check what the algorithm would sound like without this operator, for example.
- Copy Operator Settings
-
Copies the current operator settings to the clipboard.
- Paste Operator Settings
-
Allows you to paste the most recently copied operator settings to another operator. The copied settings can be pasted to another operator of the same or of a different FM zone.
- Operator Output Level
-
Allows you to set the output level of the operator.
Ratio Frequency Mode
- Coarse
-
Allows you to set the basic frequency of the operator – as a multiple of the frequency of the played notes.
- Fine
-
Allows you to fine-tune the pitch of the operator. The step sizes depend on the Coarse setting.
- Resulting Ratio
-
Shows the result of the Coarse and Fine settings.
- Detune
-
Slightly detunes the pitch of the operator.
Fixed Frequency Mode
- Frequency
-
Allows you to set a fixed frequency for the operator.
- Detune
-
Slightly detunes the pitch of the operator.
- Pitch Key Follow
-
Determines how the pitch depends on the note played.
-
With a setting of 0, all notes have the pitch set by the Coarse and Fine parameters.
-
With a setting of 99, adjacent notes are pitched in semitone steps.
-
- Pitch Velocity Sensitivity
-
Determines how the pitch of the operator responds to velocity.
-
With positive values, the harder you hit the keys, the more the pitch rises.
-
With negative values, the harder you hit the keys, the more the pitch is lowered.
-
With a setting of 0, the pitch does not change.
