Oscillator, Page04 Pitch, Page05 OSC | Korg MS2000R specification

E: Detune

[00cent...99cent]

Specify the amount of detuning (difference in pitch) that will be applied to notes sounded simultaneously by the Unison function.

This parameter will be displayed and can be set only if “Assign” is set to Unison.

If the “Mode” is Dual/Split and the maximum polyph- ony (“Timbre Voice”) of the timbre is 1, this setting will have no effect.

■PITCH

These are the pitch-related parameters.

Page04: PITCH

A: Transpose

[–24...+24]

Adjust the pitch of the oscillator in semitone (100 cent) steps. The range is two octaves upward or downward.

Changes made by the front panel OCTAVE (or BANK/ OCTAVE) buttons actually shift the pitches assigned to the keyboard (or keys) in one-octave steps, and do not affect the pitch of the oscillator that is sounding. Nor are such settings saved by the Write operation. If you wish to change the pitch of the oscillator itself, you must use this “Transpose” setting to specify the pitch.

B: Tune

[–50cent...+50cent]

Adjust the pitch of the oscillator in one-cent steps. The range is –50 – +50 cents.

■OSCILLATOR

These are the parameters that affect the waveform of the oscillator.

Page05: OSC 1

A: Wave  WAVE 	[Saw...Audio In]
B: Control1  CONTROL1 	[000...	127]
C: Control2  CONTROL2 	[000...	127]

“Wave” selects the waveform for OSC1 (oscillator 1). “Control1” and “Control2” set parameters for the selected waveform. The parameters that you set will depend on the selected waveform.

Saw

This is a sawtooth wave, suitable for creating typical ana- log synthesizer sounds such as synth bass and synth brass.

•Control1

Adjusting this value will modify the waveform.

A setting of 0 will produce a conventional sawtooth wave, and a setting of 127 will produce a sawtooth wave one octave higher.

•Control2

LFO1 is used to apply WFM (wave form modulation) to the waveform speciﬁed by “Control 1.” The “Control 2” setting speciﬁes the depth of the modulation produced by LFO1.

By setting the Page 12A: LFO1 “Wave” parameter to

(Tri) and adjusting “Frequency,” you can create the effect of detuning.

C: Vibrato Int

[–63...+63]

Specify the depth of the vibrato effect that is applied when the modulation wheel (or for the MS2000R, the modulation wheel of a connected external MIDI device) is moved to the maximum position.

The LFO2 will apply a vibrato effect to the pitch of the oscil- lator.

D: Bend Range

[–12...+12]

Specify the amount of pitch change in semitones that will occur when the pitch wheel is operated. This setting speciﬁes the amount of pitch change that will occur when the pitch bender is moved to the maximum positive (+) position.

E: Portamento  TIME 

[000...127]

This speciﬁes the speed of the portamento effect (a smooth change in pitch from one note to the next note of a different pitch).

With a setting of 000, there will be no portamento effect. Increasing this setting from 001 will cause the pitch to change correspondingly slower.

If Page 03: VOICE “Assign” is set to Mono or Unison, and if “Trigger” is set to Single, portamento will not apply to the ﬁrst-sounded note.

127

Pulse

This is a pulse wave, suitable for electronic sounds or wind instruments.

•Control1

This adjusts the pulse width.

A setting of 0 will produce a square wave, with a tone reminiscent of woodwind instruments such as clarinet. At a setting of 127 the pulse width will be 0, and no sound will be heard.

By adjusting the pulse width you can produce sounds similar to clavinet or sax.

•Control2

LFO1 is used to apply PWM (pulse width modulation) to the pulse width speciﬁed by “Control1.” The “Control2” setting speciﬁes the depth of the modulation produced by LFO1.

By setting the Page 12A: LFO1 “Wave” parameter to

(Tri) and adjusting “Frequency,” you can make the sound distort.
