Chapter 9. Using the D Beam

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Vibrato Depth	0–127	Specifies the depth of vibrato (an effect that uses an LFO to cyclically vary the
		pitch of the oscillator).
LFO Wave	0–127	An LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) is used to apply various types of modula-
		tion (cyclic change) to the tone or pitch. You can select one of the following LFO
		waveforms.
		SAW: sawtooth wave
		TRI:	triangle wave
		SQR:	square wave
		RND: randomly changing waveform
LFO Rate	0–127	Specifies the speed of modulation.
PORTAMENT	0–100	Specifies the time over which Portamento (a function that creates smooth pitch
TIME		transitions between synthesizer notes) will vary the pitch. With higher settings,
		the pitch change will take longer.

FILTER

This lets you use the D Beam to control a built-in filter that features an extremely steep slope.

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Cutoff Low	0–127	Specifies the lower frequency limit for the D Beam controller.
Cutoff High	0–127	Specifies the upper frequency limit for the D Beam controller.
Resonance	0–127	Specifies the resonance level of the filter. Raising this value will boost the sound in the
		region of the cutoff frequency.
Type	LPF,	Specifies the type of filter. Each type of filter will pass the following frequencies.
	BPF,	LPF:	frequencies below the Cutoff
	HPF,	BPF:	frequencies near the Cutoff
	NOTCH	HPF:	frequencies above the cutoff
		NOTCH: frequencies other than at the Cutoff
Slope	-12dB,	Specifies the steepness of the filter (expressed as the amount of attenuation per octave).
	-24dB,
	-36dB
Gain	0–+12dB	Adjusts the amount of boost for the filter output.
