1Choose “PRESET D-8”. The sawtooth wave is selected.

2Since bass involves low frequencies, turn the [PITCH] knob on the OSC section all the way to left, and set to (-12). Now the sound is lowered by 1 octave.

3Turn the [CUTOFF] knob on the FILTER section all the way left and set to (MIN). The sound becomes inaudible.

4Let’s create the initial attack of the sound. Raise the [D] slider of the FILTER ENV a little.

5Let’s determine the timbre of the sustained note. Raise the [S] slider of the FILTER ENV a little.

6In order to achieve the effect of sliding over the frets while holding the string down (glissando), press the [SOLO] button.

7Slightly raise the [DEPTH] slider of the FILTER ENV to determine the overall timbre. The attack is weakened, and sound will be darkened.

8Press the [SLOPE] button and select -24dB. The core of the sound is retained, yet it sounds a little darker now.

9Turn the [RESONANCE] knob and add a little bite to the sound as you like.

10Press the [FX ON] button.

11Turn the [TIME] knob in the EFFECTS section all the way left to (MIN). Turn the [DEPTH] knob and fatten the bass timbre.

12Lastly, fine adjust the [DEPTH] slider of the FILTER ENV to determine the overall sound.

1Choose “PRESET D-8”. The sawtooth wave is selected.

2Turn the [CUTOFF] knob in the FILTER section to the “two o’clock” position.

3Turn the [RESONANCE] knob in the FILTER section to the “one o’clock” position.

4Let’s create the initial portion of the sound. Raise the [A] and [D] sliders of the FILTER ENV a little.

5Determine the overall timbre by raising the [DEPTH] slider of the FILTER ENV.

6Press the [SLOPE] button in the FILTER section and select -24dB. The sound gains more bite by doing so.

7Press the [PORTAMENTO] button.

8To further enhance the lead synth sound, press the [SOLO] button.

Now it plays monophonic (a single note at a time). Also when you hold a key while pressing another key, the two notes will transition smoothly.

9Press the [FX ON] button.

10Position the [TIME] knob at “twelve o’clock”. Turn the [DEPTH] knob and add some echo effect to the lead sound (delay).
