[. . . ] E 1 ii Precautions Location Using the unit in the following locations can result in a malfunction. · In direct sunlight · Locations of extreme temperature or humidity · Excessively dusty or dirty locations · Locations of excessive vibration · Close to magnetic fields Data handling THE FCC REGULATION WARNING (for U. S. A. ) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

MIXER These parameters adjust the volume balance of the oscillator 1 and 2, and the noise generator. These settings will be the input level to the filter section. Knob [1] OSC1 Lvl (OSC1 Level) [000. . . 127] Sets the output level of oscillator 1. Knob [2] OSC2 Lvl (OSC2 Level) [000. . . 127] Sets the output level of oscillator 2. Knob [3] NoiseLvl (Noise Level) [000. . . 127] Sets the output level of the noise generator. This noise generator generates white noise. This is independent of the white noise that can be selected as a waveform for oscillator 1("Wave": Noise. ) This does not have filter or resonance as the oscillator 1 noise generator does, but you can use the FILTER section to create the same results as the noise waveform of oscillator 1. Noise is used to create percussion instrument sounds, or sound effects such as surf. Knob [4] PunchLvl (Punch Level) [000. . . 127] Creates a more "snappy" attack by adjusting the amount of pulse waveform that is added to the oscillator output only during the attack. Increasing this value will emphasize the attack. 31 8. FILTER1-A The filter section changes the tonal character of the oscillators by passing only the desired portion of the sound - either above (Low Pass), below (High-Pass), or centered on (Band Pass) the cutoff frequency. The R3 has two filters (filter 1 and filter 2), and you can change their routing to create more complex filter sounds. The filter 1 parameters are set in the 8. Filt1-B page. Knob [1] Cutoff1 (Filter1 Cutoff) [000. . . 127] Sets the cutoff frequency. Increasing this value will raise the cutoff frequency. "Cutoff1" can be varied by time-variant change produced by EG1, by keyboard playing dynamics (velocity), and by note location (keyboard tracking). If the "Cutoff1" value is set too low, the volume may be extremely low, or you may hear no sound at all. Knob [2] Reso1 (Filter1 Resonance) [000. . . 127] Sets the resonance of the filter. This will emphasize the overtones near the cutoff frequency specified by "Cutoff1, " adding a distinctive character to the sound. Increasing this value will increase the effect. Since movement of the "Cutoff1" knob will affect the overtones that are boosted by resonance, it is best to adjust "Cutoff1" and "Reso1" in conjunction with each other (Figure 8-1). Depending on the cutoff frequency or the input audio, increasing this value may cause distortion. Knob [3] FiltBal1 (Filter1 Balance) [LPF24. . . LPF12. . . HPF. . . BPF. . . THRU] Selects the filter type. Intermediate settings will produce a response that is between the two filter types. LPF12 (­12dB/oct), LPF24 (­24dB/oct): Low Pass Filter (p. 33 "LFP:"). HPF (-12dB/oct): High Pass Filter (p. 33 "HFP:"). BPF (-12dB/oct): Band Pass Filter (p. 33 "BFP:").
