| ADSR | PRMl | ATTACK | MEM.ATK, MEM.DCY, MEM.SUS, MEM.REL: Waveforms saved in the current MEMORY Bank0l – Bank50: Bank waveform shared within the ELZ_l FM0l – FM20: FM bank waveform shared within the ELZ_lNOTE: • Bank0l- Bank50 and FM0l – FM20 waveforms cannot be edited. |
| PRM2 | DECAY | ||
| PRM3 | SUSTAIN | ||
| PRM4 | RELEASE | ||
| PRM5 | DETUNE | -16 – +16(CENT) | |
| PRM6 | COLOR | Classic, Modern | |
| PRM7 | |||
| PRM8 | |||
| PRM9 | MOD TYPE | See “Synth engine parameter modulation“ | |
| 8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (TIME) | ||
| This is the TIME mode of the 8-bit waveform memory synth. The waveforms change in the order of: WAVE1->WAVE2->WAVE3. The duration of the each waveform can be modified. | ||
| Special operations | None | |
| PRM1 | WAVE1 | MEMORYl – MEMORY3: Waveforms saved in the current MEMORY Bank0l – BankSO: Bank waveform shared with in the ELZ_l PRM2 WAVE2 FMOl – FM20: FM bank waveform shared within the ELZ_lNOTE: • Bank0l – BankS0 and FM0l – FM20 waveforms cannot be edited. |
| PRM2 | WAVE2 | |
| PRM3 | WAVE3 | |
| PRM4 | – | – |
| PRM5 | TIME(l->2) | 0 – 5000(msec) |
| PRM6 | TIME(2->3) | 0 – 5000(msec) |
| PRM7 | DETUNE | -16 – + 16(CENT) |
| PRM8 | COLOR | Classic, Modern |
| PRM9 | MOD TYPE | See “Synth engine parameter modulation“ |
Added DETUNE to SBIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (MORPH)
Added DETUNE to the parameters of 8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (MORPH).
| 8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (MORPH) | ||
| This is the morphing mode of the 8-bit waveform memory synth. The waveform morphs from WAVEl to WAVE2 to WAVE3 cyclically. | ||
| Special operations | None | |
| PRM1 | WAVE1 | MEMORYl – MEMORY3: Waveforms saved in the current MEMORY Bank0l – BankSO: Bank waveform shared within the ELZ_lFM0l – FM20: FM bank waveform shared within the ELZ_l NOTE: • “None” can only be selected for WAVE3. When “None” is selected, the waveform will morph from WAVEl to WAVE2 cyclically. • Bank0l – Bank50 and FM0l – FM20 waveforms cannot be edited. |
| PRM2 | WAVE2 | |
| WAVE3 | ||
| PRM4 | TIME | 50 – 4000ms : Waveform switching time |
| PRM5 | COLOR | Classic, Modern |
| PRM6 | DETUNE | -16 – +16(CENT) |
| PRM7 | – | – |
| PRM8 | – | – |
| PRM9 | MOD TYPE | See “Synth engine parameter modulation“ |
Synth engine parameter modulation
Each synth engine has parameters for modulation using an LFO or envelope.
When the MOD TYPE parameter is set to LFO or Envelope, additional modulation parameters become available.
| PRMl | MOD TYPE | OFF, LFO, Envelope: Modulation type selection |
| PRM2 | ASSIGN | Select the modulated parameter. The parameters that can be chosen differ according to the synth engine. |
| The parameters after ASSIGN depend on whether the MOD TYPE is LFO or Envelope. When MOD TYPE is LFO | ||
| PRM3 | DELAY | 0 -2000ms (delay before modulation starts) |
| PRM4 | WAVE | Sine, Square, Triangle, Sawtooth, Rev.Sawtooth, Random, Log, Rev.Log (waveform used to modulate target) |
| PRM5 | RATE | 1-100 (modulation speed) |
| PRM6 | DEPTH | 0 -100 (modulation depth) |
| PRM7 | COUNT | Infinite, 1-50: Count of LFO |
| PRM8 | WAVELEN | 1-1/8: Range used by LFO waveform |
| PRM9 | PHASE | 0, 180: LFO waveform phase |
| PRMlO | TAIL | Hold: Holds the current value of the LFO after the specified number of times when COUNT is not Infinite Origin: the current value of LFO is reset to 0 after the specified number of times when COUNT is not Infinite |
| When MOD TYPE is Envelope | ||
| PRM3 | DELAY | 0 – 2000ms (delay before modulation starts) |
| PRM4 | INVERT | Off, On (inverts modulation) |
| PRMS | DEPTH | 0 – 100 (modulation depth) |
| PRM6 | ATTACK | 0- S000ms |
| PRM7 | DECAY | 0- S000ms |
| PRM8 | SUSTAIN | 0-100% |
| PRM9 | RELEASE | 0- S000ms |
