keygroups simultaneously and, of course, you can select another program for editing if
you wish.
The other fields on this page are:
This shows the current keygroup’s key range.
When lowpass, band pass and highpass filters are
selected, this allows you to set the filters cutoff frequency.
When EQ is selected, this control sets the EQ band’s
centre frequency.
Here you may set the keyboard to track the filter. This is so
that you can achieve an even tone across the keyboard
range. +12 is the default and this tracks the filter octave for
octave - i.e. for every shift of pitch of one octave, there is
an according shift in harmonics.
This allows you to sharpen the point at the cutoff
frequency thereby emphasising the harmonics at that
point. The sound changes from a soft ‘waaa’ effect to the
characteristic ‘weeow’ effect with high resonance settings.
The range is 0-31. High resonance settings can be used
for classic synth sounds and, simply by sampling raw synth
waveforms (i.e. without using the synths filter, etc.), these
may be used as the basis for some powerful synth sounds
through these filters.
NOTE: The resonance control functions differently when EQ is selected. When EQ is
selected, a value of 16 is no cut or boost. Raising the resonance above 16 will boost the
selected cutoff frequency and lowering it below 16 will cut the selected cutoff frequency.
You will, therefore, experience a tonal change when you switch from LP, BP or HP to EQ.
For example, if a value of 16 is set for the resonance on the other three filters, this will be
flat when you select EQ. Similarly, if a value of 0 is set on the other three filters, this will
cause the cutoff frequency to be cut when you select EQ.
This parameters allows you to select the filter mode of your
choice and the selection possibilities are LP (lowpass), BP
(bandpass), HP (highpass) and EQ. For details on these
different filter types, please see the description given
above.
This parameter allows you to bypass the second filter and
tone section if you wish. You may use this parameter to
quickly bypass the settings of the second filter and tone
control section to make A/B comparisons.
NOTE 1: With this parameter set to ON, the polyphony of the S3200 is restricted to 30
voices. If OFF is selected, the second filter and tone section are bypassed, and the
S3200 may operate with 32 voices.
NOTE 2: The setting of this parameter relates to both the second filter and tone section.
This allows you to switch in a -6dB pad. This is included to
overcome the possibility of distortion should the resonance
be set quite high, boosting the sound into overload.
