This document explains about the parameters and setting screens for the ZENOLOGY Pro
Model Expansion.
The parameter names, the order in which they appear and other information may dier,
depending on the product.

1 SystemSystem
CONDITION
Simulates the changes that occur as a unit ages.
PITCH DRIFT
Adjusts the slight pitch drift that occurs when notes are
played on an analog synthesizer.
KEY MODE
[SOLO] button
Sound is produced monophonically.
[POLY] button
Sound is produced polyphonically.
[UNISON] button
Sound is produced in unison.
[SL-UNISON] button
Sound is produced in monophonic unison.
PORTAMENTO [OFF] [ON]
[AUTO] buttons (PORTA MODE)
Turns portamento on/o. If this is on,
the pitch will change smoothly from
one note to the next-played note.
OFF: Regardless of the portamento
time setting, portamento is not
applied.
ON: Portamento is always applied.
AUTO: Portamento is applied only
when you play legato (pressing the
next key before completely releasing
the previously-played key). This lets
you use your playing technique to
control portamento on/o.
[ORIG] button
Change according to the original curve
of the model.
[LIN] button
Change in a linear curve.
[EXP-1] button
Change in a non-linear curve (gentle
slope).
[EXP-2] button
Change in a non-linear curve (steep
slope).
[PRM EXP] button
(PARAM EXPANSION)
If this is ON, the range of the LFO
RATE, CUTOFF, RESONANCE, and
FILTER ENV DEPTH parameters are
extended beyond the range of the
original model.

2 MODULATORMODULATOR
[WAVEFORM] knob (LFO WAVEFORM)
Selects the waveform of the LFO.
TRI, SQR, S&H
RATE (LFO RATE)
Species the rate of the LFO cycle.

4 SOURCE MIXERSOURCE MIXER
(PWM wave) (PW LEVEL)
Adjusts the volume of the PWM wave.
(Sawtooth wave) (SAW LEVEL)
Adjusts the volume of the sawtooth wave.
SUB OSC (SUB OSC LEVEL)
Adjusts the volume of the sub oscillator.
[1OCT DOWN] [2OCT DOWN] [2OCT DOWN (small pulse width)] buttons (SUB OSC)
Species the SUB OSC type.
NOISE (NOISE LEVEL)
Adjusts the volume of the noise.
3 VCOVCO
MOD (OSC LFO MOD)
Adjusts the depth at which the LFO
modulates the OSC.
PULSE WIDTH (PULSE WIDTH MOD)
PW MODE = MAN: Adjusts the pulse width.
PW MODE = LFO/ENV: Adjusts the
modulation depth.
V(PW MODE)
Species the pulse width mode.
LFO: The pulse width is changed by
the LFO.
MAN: The pulse width is changed by PULSE
WIDTH MOD.
ENV: The pulse width is changed by
the ENV1.
[RANGE] knob (OSC RANGE)
Species the octave of the oscillator.
16’, 8’, 4’, 2’

4 SOURCE MIXERSOURCE MIXER
(PWM wave) (PW LEVEL)
Adjusts the volume of the PWM wave.
(Sawtooth wave) (SAW LEVEL)
Adjusts the volume of the sawtooth wave.
SUB OSC (SUB OSC LEVEL)
Adjusts the volume of the sub oscillator.
[1OCT DOWN] [2OCT DOWN] [2OCT DOWN (small pulse width)] buttons (SUB OSC)
Species the SUB OSC type.
NOISE (NOISE LEVEL)
Adjusts the volume of the noise.

5 VCFVCF
[R] [M] [S] buttons
(VINTAGE FLT TYPE)
If a vintage type model is selected,
these buttons change the type
of lter.
[R] models a Roland lter, and [M] and
[S] model vintage synthesizers made
by other companies.
ENV (FLT ENV DEPTH)
Adjusts the amount by which the cuto frequency is
controlled by the envelope.
MOD (FILTER MOD)
Adjusts the amount by which the LFO modulates the
cuto frequency.
KYBD (FLT KEY FOLLOW)
Varies the lter’s cuto frequency according to the note
played on the keyboard.
[CUTOFF] knob
Species the cuto frequency of the low-pass lter. The
frequency region above the cuto frequency is cut,
producing a more mellow tonal character.
[RES] knob (RESONANCE)
Boosts the region of the lter’s cuto frequency. Higher
values produce a stronger result, giving the sound a
distinctively synthesizer-like character.

6 VCAVCA
[LEVEL] knob (AMP LEVEL)
Adjusts the volume of the tone.
[ENV] [GATE] button
(AMP ENV SEL)
Species whether the volume is
controlled by the ENV (ENV) or
stays at a xed volume as long as
the key is held down (GATE).
