10 CAT CAT Controls (EN) Step 1: Controls KEYBOARD Section VCO1 Oscillator Section (6) (7) (8) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (1) PITCH BEND slider shifts the pitch up or down by (9) an octave. (10) (2) OCTAVE SHIFT switch shifts the pitch up or down by 2 octaves. (3) GLIDE controls the rate of change from one note to the other. When this slider is placed in the MIN position there is no gliding between notes played on the keyboard. As the slider is moved upward toward the MAX position, the glide time between notes increases. (4) LFO FREQ slider controls the repetition rate for the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO), as well as the ADSR REPEAT tempo and the S+H (sample-and-hold) rate. (5) LFO LED lights to indicate the repetition rate for the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO). (11) (12) (13) (14) Quick Start Guide 11 (6) FREQUENCY (FINE/COARSE) knobs are used to tune VCO1. VCO2 Oscillator Section The COARSE knob sets the approximate tuning, and then the FINE knob allows exact tuning adjustment. (7) KEYBOARD CONTROL switch control show the keyboard controller interacts with VCO1. When the switch is set to the MONO position, VCO1 generates the lowest note that is depressed on the keyboard. When set to POLY, VCO1 (15) (16) generates the highest note depressed on the keyboard, while VCO2 handles the lowest note in order to allow two notes to be played simultaneously. (VCO2 is always (17) controlled by the lowest note played on the keyboard.) When set to the OFF position, VCO1 is not affected by the keyboard. (8) WAVEFORM SWITCHES patch different waveforms (18) into VCO1. (9) MODULATION DEPTH knobs control the degree to which a particular waveform affects the tone generated by VCO1. Increasing the modulation depth produces a more intense effect. (10) PULSE WIDTH knob controls the pulse width modulation (19) depth of VCO1. The modulation source is controlled by the (20) waveform switch directly above the PULSE WIDTH knob. (21) VCO1 AUDIO LEVEL Sliders For the VCO1 oscillator section, several different wave outputs are available at the same time, and each wave output has its own slider so that the volume for each wave output can be adjusted independently. (11) SUB OCTAVE slider controls a square wave one octave below the set oscillator frequency. (12) SAWTOOTH slider controls the amount of sawtooth waveform in the sound. A sawtooth waveform usually provides a brassy timbre. (13) TRIANGLE slider controls the amount of triangle waveform, which provides a mellow, flute-like timbre. (14) PULSE slider controls the amount of waveform added to the sound from the PULSE WIDTH knob. (15) FINE TUNE knob adjusts the VCO2 pitch. (16) SYNC switch can be used to lock VCO1 with VCO2 so that both oscillators act as a single large oscillator. When synced, VCO1 follow the frequency of VCO2 to produce complex sounds. (17) WAVEFORM SWITCHES patch different waveforms into VCO2. (18) MODULATION DEPTH knobs control the degree to which a particular waveform affects the tone generated by VCO2. Increasing the modulation depth produces a more intense effect. VCO2 AUDIO LEVEL Sliders For the VCO2 oscillator section, several different wave outputs are available at the same time, and each wave output has its own slider so that the volume for each wave output can be adjusted independently. (19) SUB OCTAVE slider controls a square wave one octave below the set oscillator frequency. (20) SQUARE WAVE slider controls the amount of square waveform, which produces a hollow or reedy quality to the sound. (21) SAWTOOTH slider controls the amount of sawtooth waveform in the sound. A sawtooth waveform usually provides a brassy timbre.
