SET-UP INFOR14ATION:
Connecti ons
a. A.C. power cord plugs into any convenjence outlet - it draws very little.
b. Volume and Filter pedals plug into iacks labelled "Pedals" underneath. No mistake can
be nade between "Volume" and "Filter" iacks because of different sizes. The synthesizdr
can be operated without the pedals being connected - you merely lose the control over the
two functi ons.
c. lilono audio outputs for oscjllator l and oscillator 2 voices are labelled "osc 1out" and
"osc 2 out". The signals are low-level, high-impedance. Any microphone or guitar-type
input will provide sufficient amplification. The audio system should have tweeters to
reproduce the high frequencies being generated by the synthesizer.
d. "VCF Filter In" allor,Js external signals to be processed through the Dynamic Filter. 0ther
audio sources such as organs, guitars, microphones or electric pianos can be passed
through the filter for special effects' If some sources are too low in level to produce
the desired effects, a small battery-operated preamp module can be inserted iust before
the VCF Input. Several companies manufacture such modules for use with guitars.
For the best performance, two separate audio systems should be
used for Left and Right audio outputs. However, if two are not
available, both Left and Right can be "mixed" into one ampljfier
having a two-channel input. For your convenieltce, both oscillators
can be independently panned left or rjght from the front of the
instrument itself, to a true stereo output.
Stereo vs. I'4ono:
Il'1PoRTANT NoTE: DSP Usage
a. The Harmonic Synthesizer can scale to use a great deal of resources in terms of sample
rate and polyphony. For best results we recofimend setting the minimum values during song
construction, until you need to render your track, when you can turn the values up.
b, Polyphony can be extended from 1 up to 64 voices. The more voices you add the more DSP
will be required for live playback. Set this figure to the lowest value you need.
Remember that polyphony allocation includes voices in release as well as key on.
c. Hhen using a system sample rate of 44 1or 4BkHz, adiust the "0versample" to 2x for normal
use, or turn it to the "0ff" position if needing to save more system resources. You will
notice some aliasing when turned off, but nuch less at 2x i this l,vjll be further reduced
jf selecting 4x oversampling, and will not be noticeable when selecting Bx oversampljng'
Using Bx oversampling will dramatically increase DSP use, but js the best quality, so
select 8x prior to exporting your finished song to gjve you the best quality on your
rendered output. Consider "2x" as the live/draft setting, "8x" as I'export" setting.
d. lf using high system sample rates, 88.2 or 96kHz, oversampling can still be of benefit.
However, we recofimend exporting at 96kHz rate even when using a system sample rate of
44.1 or 4BkHz to get the highest sound quality, and dolvnsample that exported *.vlav later.
e. The "0versample" conirol state is not saved with patches, but is saved within song-files.
