Owner’s Manual

Here’s how to send a sine wave or pink noise from the internal oscillator to a desired bus.

In the function access area, press the MON-

ITOR button to access the MONITOR

screen.

In the MONITOR screen, the OSCILLATOR ﬁeld lets

you check the current oscillator settings, and turn the

oscillator on/off.

If you want to view or edit the oscillator settings in

greater detail, use the OSCILLATOR popup window

described in step 2 and following.

Popup button

Opens the OSCILLATOR popup window.

LEVEL knob

This adjusts the output level of the oscillator. If you

press the knob to select it, you’ll be able to operate it

using the corresponding multifunction encoder.

MODE button

This selects the type of oscillator signal. The type will

change each time you press the button.

ASSIGN ﬁeld

Indicates the bus to which the oscillator signal is sent.

You can press this ﬁeld to open the OSCILLATOR

popup window.

OUTPUT button

Turns the oscillator on/off.

Press the popup button or the ASSIGN ﬁeld

to open the OSCILLATOR popup window.

In this popup window you can make detailed settings

for the oscillator.

MODE ﬁeld

Press a button in this ﬁeld to select the type of oscilla-

tor. This operation can also be performed using the

MODE button in the MONITOR screen.

Parameter ﬁeld

Here you can adjust the parameters for the oscillator

you selected in the MODE ﬁeld. The knobs shown in

this ﬁeld can be operated using the corresponding mul-

tifunction encoders.

OUTPUT button

Turns the oscillator on/off. This operation can also be

performed using the OUTPUT button in the MONI-

TOR screen.

Oscillator level

This indicates the output level of the oscillator.

ASSIGN ﬁeld

Selects the bus(es) to which the oscillator signal will

be sent. You can press the CLEAR ALL button to

defeat all selections.

Press a button in the MODE ﬁeld to select

the type of signal you want to output.

You can choose the following signals.
