Set OP3 (carrier) EG

Before we actually set the OP3 EG parameters, select OP3 using the OPERATOR SELECT button, call the OPERATOR OUTPUT LEVEL parameter and set it to 99. Now enter the following EG parameters:

AR = 31

DIR = 13

D1L = 0

D2R = 0

RR = 10

Copy OP3 (carrier) EG Parameters to OP4 (modulator)

Hold down the EG COPY button and press the OPERATOR/AMS ON-OFF 4 button.

Raise OP4 (modulator) Output Level

Select OP4, select the OPERATOR OUTPUT LEVEL parameter and set it to 71.

Set OP4 Frequency Ratio

To get a metallic attack “ping,” we’ll set the OP4 output level frequence ratio to

7.00.With OP4 selected, press the OSCILLATOR FREQ RATIO button and set to

Play a note and listen to the attack sound.

Combine all Operators and Balance Levels

Turn OP1 and OP2 back on so we can here the combined sound of the two operator stacks. Play a note. At this point the attack sound is far too loud, so we’ll reduce the output level of OP3 to achieve a better balance.

Select OP3, press the OPERATOR OUTPUT LEVEL button and set to 70.

Play a note—our piano voice is improving.

Set Feedback Level

We can enhance the attack sound of the voice by adding just a touch of “bite” using feedback. Select the FEEDBACK parameter and set to 5.
