Function and Name of Each Component
Front panel (VCO1)
1. PITCH slider
Used to perform master tuning of the main unit. A=440Hz is obtained in the center.
2. Power switch
3. PORTAMENTO slider
You can extensively adjust the strength of portamento ranging from natural
portamento to sound effects.
1
4. VIBRATO DEPTH slider
Used to adjust the vibrato depth. Natural vibrato is obtained in the center.
5. VIBRATO SPEED slider
2
Used to adjust the vibrato speed. Natural vibrato is obtained in the center.
6. REPEAT slider
Used to adjust the repeat speed.
3
7. PORTAMENTO switch
4
Used to turn on or off the portamento effect that smoothly changes the tone
when moving to the next key.
5
8. DELAY VIB. switch
Used to apply vibrato a short while later after keying. This switch is effective
6
when you want to make the instrument sing.
9. VIBRATO switch
Used to turn the vibrato effect on or off.
7
10. HOLD switch
8
If this switch is turned on, a key remains held down even after you released
your finger from the key until you press the next key.
9
11. REPEAT switch
Used to obtain the same effect as continuous keying. When multiple keys are
10
pressed simultaneously, this function works as an arpeggiator.
11 12. BENDER switch
Used to obtain a bending effect. This function is effective for tones such as
12
human voices and whistling.
13. SUSTAIN switch
13
Used to sustain the sound even after a key is released.
14 14. BRIGHT switch
Used to increase the resonance level. The harmonic overtones near the cutoff
15
frequency of the Traveler are emphasized, and the sound becomes brighter.
15. EXPAND switch
Used to add changes to the cutoff frequency of the Traveler when emitting a
sound. The tone changes over time depending on the settings of the ATTACK/
SLOW slider and the PERCUSSION/SINGING slider.
16
16. MODE selector
Used to switch the basic waveform of the oscillator (VCO1).
Triangle wave: This is a basic waveform with few overtones and a mellifluous tone.
Rectangular wave: This waveform is suitable for an electronic tone and wind
instrument tone.
Sawtooth wave: This waveform is suitable for a variety of instrument sounds,
17
including many overtones.
CHORUS I: This tone produces the effect of overlapping sounds with the pulse
with modulation.
CHORUS II: This tone produces the strong chorus effect with a faster LFO than
CHORUS I.
18
17. SCALE selector
Used to switch the 5-octave range with one touch.
19
18. PERCUSSION/SINGING slider
Used to adjust the attenuation after producing a sound. The tone is continuously
changed in the range from percussive sounds to long organ-like sounds.
19. ATTACK/SLOW slider
Used to adjust the sound rising time. You can flexibly control a sound from a
sharp rising sound to a gentle sound.
20
20. TRAVELER slider
You can create desired tones by combining operations of the two sliders.
The upper-side slider works as a low-pass filter, and the lower-side slider works
as a high-pass filter.
You can create original traveling sounds in addition to wah and mute by moving
21
the slider from side to side while holding down keys.
21. SPRING REVERB slider
22
Used to adjust the effect of the built-in spring reverb.
The built-in spring reverb may generate noise due to the effects of electromagnetic
waves. In such cases, use it far away from devices that emit electromagnetic waves.
22. VOLUME slider
Used to adjust the overall volume.
When the switches on the front panel are moved down, the functions are turned on,
and when the slider are moved down, effects become more pronounced.
