Korg MICRO manual AMP Vocoder, Direct Level

8.AMP — VOCODER

These parameters adjust the volume. "LEVEL" (knob 1) specifies the volume of the internal sound source (OSC 1, NOISE) for the carrier. "KBD TRACK" (knob 4) specifies how keyboard tracking will affect the volume, and "DISTORTION" (knob 3) specifies whether the sound will be distorted.

The "DIRECT LEVEL" (knob 2) specifies the output volume level of the sound that is input from AUDIO IN 1.

LEVEL[0...127]

Specifies the volume level of the in- ternal tone generator (OSC1, NOISE) for the carrier.

DIRECT LEVEL

[0...127]

Specifies the volume level of the au- dio that is output directly from AUDIO IN 1.

DISTORTION

[OFF, ON]

Specifies whether distortion will be applied to the OSC 1, NOISE, and AUDIO IN 2 signal.

OFF ():

Distortion is off

ON ():

Distortion is on

KBD TRACK

[-63...63]

Specifies how keyboard tracking will affect the volume.

With positive (+) settings, the vol- ume will increase as you play above the note C4 on the keyboard, and will decrease as you play below C4. With negative (-) settings, the vol- ume will decrease as you play above C4 on the keyboard, and will increase as you play below C4.

Keyboard Track operates ac- cording to the pitch that is con- trolled by pitch bend and the "TRANSPOSE" setting. It is not affected by pitch changes pro- duced by vibrato or Virtual Patch.

9.AMP EG — SYNTH/VOCODER

The "9. AMP EG" parameters are the same as for a synth program (➝ p.28). They specify the shape of the AMP EG, which creates time-variant change in the volume of the internal carrier sound source (OSC 1, NOISE). Virtual Patches are not available when using vocoder programs.

10.LFO 1, 11. LFO 2 — SYNTH/VOCODER

The "10. LFO1" and "11. LFO2" parameters are the same as for a synth program (➝ p.29). Cyclic change produced by the LFO can apply modulation to the internal carrier sound source (OSC 1, NOISE). Virtual Patches are not available when using vocoder programs.
