5.MIXER — SYNTH

These parameters adjust the volume balance of the oscillator 1 and 2, and the noise generator.

"OSC 1 LEVEL" (knob 1) sets the output level of oscillator 1, "OSC 2 LEVEL" (knob 2) sets the output level of oscillator 2, and "NOISE LEVEL" (knob 3) sets the output level of the noise generator.

These settings will be the input level to the filter.

OSC 1 LEVEL

[0...127] OSC 2 LEVEL

[0...127] NOISE LEVEL

[0...127]

Sets the output level of oscillator 1. Sets the output level of oscillator 2. Sets the output level of the noise generator.

This noise generator generates white noise. This is independent of the white noise that can be selected as a waveform for oscillator 1. This does not have filter or resonance (as the oscillator 1 noise generator, but you can use the FILTER section to create the same results as the noise waveform of oscillator 1.

Noise is used to create percussion instrument sounds, or sound effects such as surf.
