*
GUITAR-SYNTHESIZER
BALANCE
The
BALANCE
control
is
used
to
set
the
bal-
ance
between
the
guitar
sound
and
the
synthe-
sizer
sound.
Turn
counterclockwise

the
guitar

and
clockwise
to

the
synthesizer
sound.
Somewhere
in

both
sounds
will
be
equal
in
volume.
The
exact
balance
point
will
change
and
depends
on
the
VCF
CUTOFF
FREQ
control
setting.
* VCF CONTROLS
The
VCF
CUTOFF
FREQ
and
RESONANCE
controls
are
the
two
synthesizer
VCF
{voltage
controlled
filter)
controls.
The
CUTOFF
FREQ
control
controls
the
cutoff
point
of
the
VCF,
the
cutoff
point
determining
the
tone
color
of
the
synthesizer
sound.
High
produces
8
hard
sound;
low
produces
a
soft
sound.
The
RESONANCE
control
is
used
to
accent
the
fre-
quencies
at
the
cutoff
point
of
the
VCF
to
add
strong
coloration
to
the
tone
color
of
the
sound.
e VIBRATO ON/OFF
A
vibrato
effect
can
be
added
to
the
synthesizer
VCO's
(voltage
controlled
oscillators).
The
ON/
OFF
function
of
the
vibrato
is
controlled
by
the
touch
plates
located
on
each
side
of
the
humbucking
pickup
nearest
the
bridge.
One
touch
of
the
upper
touch
plate
wil!
turn
the
continuous
vibrato
effect
ON.
The
lower
touch
plate
is
used
for
one-touch
vi-
brato:
vibrato
will
be
produced
only
as
long
as
the
plate
is
touched.
It
is
also
used
for
stopping
the
continuous
vibrato
effect
started
with
the
upper
touch
plate.
Since
touching
the
lower
plate
produces
vibrato,
the
continuous
vibrato

end
when
the
lower
plate
is
released.
e VIBRATO DEPTH
The
vibrato
ON/OFF
function
is
controlled
as
above,
and
the
depth
of
the
effect
is
controlled
by
the
VIBRATO
DEPTH
control.
e
VOICE
SELECT
The
VOICE
SELECTOR
switch
determines
the
sound
source
used
for
synthesizing
sounds.
With
the
switch
up,
the
source
of
voicing
is
the
six
synthesizer
VCO's
and
the
fundamental
pitch
extracted
from
the
guitar
string
sounds.
With
the
switch
down,
the
voicing
comes
from
the
six
distortion
circuits.
At
center,
the
source
is
à
combination
of
the
two
above
positions.
NOTE:
The
operation
of
the
touch
plates
depends
on
using
the
body
of
the
player
to
form
a
bridge
between
the
plate
and
electrical
ground.
When
stopping
strings
with
the
left
hand,
there
is
no
problem
because
the
left
hand
fingers
are
touching
the
strings
which
are
metal
and
at
ground
potential.
With
vibrato
effects
on
open
strings,
it
may
become
necessary
for
the
player
to
form
a
bridge
to
ground.
This
can
be
done
by
touching
bare
skin
to
any
metal
part
of
the
Guitar
Controller
(or
Guitar
Synthesizer)
while
simultaneously
touching
the
plate.
For
exam-
ple,
the
right
hand
could
touch
the
plate
and
the
bridge
or
strings,
or
the
left
hand
could
touch
an
unused
string
or
any
part
of
the
tu-
ning
machine.
