Noise ():

This generates white noise. Within the oscillator, a LPF (Low Pass Fil- ter) is provided to process the noise. (➝ Figure 3-6). You can use this to create percussion sounds, or sound effects such as surf. This can also be used in conjunction with another timbre to simulate the "breath" com- ponent of a wind instrument sound.

CONTROL 1 [0...127]:

This sets the cutoff frequency of the LPF.

Adjusting this will affect the noise waveform.

CONTROL 2 [0...127]:

This controls the resonance of the LPF.

If you raise this enough to produce an identifiable pitch, the cutoff fre- quency will move according to the keyboard location you play, and the change will be heard as a pitch.

If you want the oscillation pro- duced by resonance to match the reference pitch, set "CONTROL 1" to 24.

*: The 35 Endless waveform simulates an endless scale, in which notes one octave apart have the iden- tical pitch. You can play an ascending or descend- ing scale as far as you wish, producing the sensa- tion that a scale of the same pitch is continuing in- finitely.
