9Depth knob: controlling the modulation depth applied by the envelope to the VCF cutoff frequency,
the larger the knob value the greater the depth.
Decay knob: controlling the amount of time of the envelope to decay from the current signal level to
the minimum level, the larger the knob value the longer the time.
Accent knob: adjusting the amount of Accent effect, the larger the value of the knob the more
obvious the Accent effect. (Only have an effect when notes programmed with an accent.)
Saturation switch: controlling the distortion effect.
Drive knob: controlling the level of distortion gain, the larger the value of the knob the greater the
gain.
