Korg Synthesizer manual 1d Harmonics, 1e Pickup, 1f Low EQ

Page 41

2:1 OSC 1 (12: Plucked String Model)

Dispersion

[0…99]

Specifies the inharmonicity of the higher partials relative to the fundamental. With a value of 0, the partials will be located at integer (whole number) multiples of the fundamental. As this value is increased, the partials will move further away from integer multiple locations. In general, thin and flexible strings can be simulated by a low “Dispersion” value, and thick and stiff strings can be simulated by a high “Dispersion” value.

If this value is raised excessively, the pitch may become unstable.

 

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

[OFF…MIDI (CC#83)]

Selects a modulation source (☞ page 64 of this manual) that will control “Dispersion.”

Intensity (Dispersion AMS Intensity)

[–99…+99]

Specifies the depth and direction of the effect of “AMS.”

 

2–1d: Harmonics

Position

[0…99]

Specifies the location at which the string will be pressed to play harmonics.

Control

[OFF…MIDI (CC#83)]

Selects a modulation source (☞ page 64 of this manual) that will control the harmonics effect.

Intensity (Harmonics Control Intensity)

[–99…+99]

Specifies the depth and direction of the control that “AMS” will have on the harmonics effect.

When making the Position setting, you must assign Control to a controller other than OFF, and raise the Intensity value. The decay time of the harmonics effect will differ depending on the keyboard location that you play.

2–1e: Pickup

Pickup

Parameters

If this is checked, the sound will be passed through a simulated pickup. If this is not checked, the sound will remain unchanged.

Position, AMS, and Intensity can be set when Pickup has been checked.

Position

[0…99]

Adjusts the change in tone that results from differences in pickup location.

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

[OFF…MIDI (CC#83)]

Selects a modulation source (☞ p64) that will control “Pickup.”

 

Intensity (Pickup Position AMS Intensity)

[–99…+99]

Specifies the depth and direction of the effect of “AMS.”

 

2–1f: Low EQ

Frequency

[0…49]

Specifies the cutoff frequency of the Low EQ.

Gain

[–18…+18]

Specifies the gain of the Low EQ.

Low Boost

[0…99]

Specifies how the low frequency range will be emphasized. Raising this value will cause the low frequency range to be emphasized more strongly.
