[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] Rng+Sync: This simultaneously applies both Ring and Sync modulation (Figure 6-3). () Knob [4] OSC2Tune (Oscillator 2 Tuning) [­63. . . 63] Specifies the amount of detune for OSC2 relative to OSC1. A setting of ±63 produces a pitch difference of ±2 octaves, and ±48 produces a pitch difference of ±1 octave. If "OSC2 Mod" is set to Sync, adjustments in "OSC Semi" or "OSC2Tune" will change the pitch of the overtones.

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 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. 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. Filt1-B page. Knob [1] Cutoff1 (Filter1 Cutoff) [000. . . 127] Sets 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. 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:"). THRU: The sound will output directly, without passing through the filter. Knob [4] Routing1 [Single, Serial, Parallel, Indiv] Specifies the routing (connection) between filter 1 and filter 2. Parallel: Filter 1 and filter 2 are connected in parallel (Figure 8-3). Indiv: Filter 1 is applied to oscillator 1, and filter 2 is applied to oscillator 2 and noise (Figure 8-4).
