Cords

Cords

The 24 “patchcords” allow you to route modulation sources to destinations and control the amount of modulation. The cords connect everything together in the voice. There are only two permanently connected cords: amp envelope to amplifier, and key to pitch. Any other connections must be connected with a cord.

There are currently 64 modulation sources and 60 destinations for the patchcords. Some of the modulation sources, such as the lag processors and the diode, are control processors. They modify control signals. All these devices can be combined to create almost infinite patching possibilities.

Cords

O Real-time events happen first on lower numbered cords, so it is usually a good idea to put important functions on lower numbered cords and to place components of complex modulations patches in the proper order in the Cords screens. This also makes it easier to visualize your patch.

O Use negative cord amounts with an LFO to create a more realistic echo effect.

O The Flip-Flop Footswitch will stay On until it is pressed again. Then it will toggle Off.

v To Connect a Patch Cord:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to process using the voice selection screen

2.Press the LFO/Aux function key (F4).

3.Use the Previous and Next Page buttons to locate one of the four Cords screens.

4.Connect the Modulation Sources to Destinations. The list of all modulation sources and destinations is shown on the previous page.

5.Set the Modulation Amount for the Cord. Modulation amounts can be positive or negative. Keep in mind that modulation amounts interact with the initial settings.

6.Press the Next page button to move on to the second page and third pages of modulation cords. There are a total of 18 cords.

•The Zoom key immediately jumps you to the screen related to the currently selected patchcord destination.

7.Press the Exit button to return to the Preset Definition level of the Preset Editor or press any of the dynamic processing function keys to move to another module.

Sample Retrigger

Sample Retrigger

This modulation destination allows you to retrigger a sample using a modulation source. A negative going, zero-crossing triggers the sample from the sample start.

LFOs (~) and envelopes are obvious choices for trigger sources. By adjusting the envelope rates, you can time the onset of each sample retrigger. A continuous controller such as a mod wheel will retrigger the sample when it’s turned all the way down. White and pink noise can be used for random retriggering. By adjusting the Amp Envelope to create an artificial decay, Sample Retrigger can be used to create echo effects.

v To Retrigger the Sample:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to process using the voice selection screen, then press the Cords function key (F5).

2.Select a free PatchCord and connect any negative going modulation source (such as an LFO ~) to SRetrig.

3.Set the Cord Amount to any value other than 0.

4.Press the LFO/Aux function key and use the page buttons to locate the LFO 1 screen.

5.Adjust the LFO Rate to the desired frequency. When a key is pressed, you should hear the sample retriggering.

6.Press the Exit button to return to the Preset Definition level of the Preset Editor or press any of the dynamic processing function keys to move to another module.
