2.PITCH — SYNTH/VOCODER

These settings specify the pitch of the oscillator.

Use "TRANSPOSE" (knob 1) and "TUNE" (knob 2) to set the desired pitch. These settings are shared by oscillators 1 and 2. In this section you can also set the portamento time, and specify how the PITCH and MOD wheels will affect the pitch.

BEND RANGE

[-12...12]

Specifies the amount of pitch change in semitones that will occur when the pitch wheel is operated. This value specifies the amount of change that will occur when you move the pitch wheel all the way to the away from you.

VIBRATO INT

[-63...63]

Specifies the depth of vibrato that will be applied when you move the MOD (modulation) wheel all the way away from yourself.

The LFO2 modulates the pitch of the oscillator, raising and lower- ing it to create vibrato.
