Basics Section
Overview of the S03
The S03 has a wide variety of advanced and convenient features.
This section gives you an overview of these
features.
The following diagram shows the various component sections or “blocks” of the S03.
Controller
This block consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels and so on.
The keyboard itself doesn’t
generate sounds, but instead sends note, velocity and other information to the S03’s tone generator section for the
notes you play.
The controllers also send non-note performance data.
Information from the keyboard and
controllers can be transmitted to other external MIDI devices through the MIDI OUT connector.
Tone Generator
This block plays back sounds according to information received from the keyboard and controllers.
The following
example illustrates the path taken by the signal from an Element in the Voice Mode.

Controls the pitch of each Element output
from the OSC section.
Changes the tonal quality of each Element

The
signals are then sent at this level to the
Effects Units.
