About this manual

This manual explains features added in the Version 6 SYSTEM firmware.

Added Synth Engines

Three new synth engines have been added to the 8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH.

8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (WARP)

This is the WARP mode of the 8-bit waveform memory synth.
Crossfades the waveforms of WAVEl and WAVE2 to generate an intermediate waveform.
Special operations| None
PRMI,| WAVEl| M EMORYl, M EMORY2: Waveforms saved in the current MEMORY
Bank0l – Bank50: Bank waveform shared within the ELZ_l FM0l – FM20: FM bank waveform shared within the ELZ_lNOTE:
• Bank0l – Bank50 and FM0l – FM20 waveforms cannot be edited.
PRM2| WAVE2
PRM3| X-FADE| <100 – 0 – 100>
PRM4| DETUNE| -16 – +16(CENT)
PRM5| COLOR| Classic, Modern
PRM6| |
PRM7| |
PRM8| |
PRM9| MOD TYPE| See “Synth engine parameter modulation“
8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (ADSAR)

This is the ADSAR mode of the 8-bit waveform memory synth.
The waveforms change according to the envelope.
Special operations| None
ADSAR| PRMl| ATTACK| M EM.ATK, M EM.DCY, MEM.SUS, M EM.R.ATK, MEM.REL:
Waveforms saved in the current MEMORY
Bank0l – Bank50: Bank waveform shared within the ELZ_l
FM0l – FM20: FM bank waveform shared within the ELZ_lNOTE:
• Bank0l- Bank50 and FM0l – FM20 waveforms cannot be edited.
PRM2| DECAY
PRM3| SUSTAIN
PRM4| R ATTACK
PRM5| RELEASE
PRM6| DETUNE| -16 – +16(CENT)
PRM7| COLOR| Classic, Modern
PRM8| |
PRM9| MOD TYPE| See Synth engine parameter modulation“
ADSR| PRMl| ATTACK| MEM.ATK, MEM.DCY, MEM.SUS, MEM.REL: Waveforms saved in the current MEMORY
Bank0l – Bank50: Bank waveform shared within the ELZ_l
FM0l – FM20: FM bank waveform shared within the ELZ_lNOTE:
• Bank0l- Bank50 and FM0l – FM20 waveforms cannot be edited.
PRM2| DECAY
PRM3| SUSTAIN
PRM4| RELEASE
PRM5| DETUNE| -16 – +16(CENT)
PRM6| COLOR| Classic, Modern
PRM7| |
PRM8| |
PRM9| MOD TYPE| See “Synth engine parameter modulation“
8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (TIME)

This is the TIME mode of the 8-bit waveform memory synth.
The waveforms change in the order of: WAVE1->WAVE2->WAVE3.
The duration of the each waveform can be modified.
Special operations| None
PRM1| WAVE1| MEMORYl – MEMORY3: Waveforms saved in the current
MEMORY
Bank0l – BankSO: Bank waveform shared with in the ELZ_l
PRM2 WAVE2 FMOl – FM20: FM bank waveform shared within the ELZ_lNOTE:
• Bank0l – BankS0 and FM0l – FM20 waveforms cannot be
edited.
PRM2| WAVE2
PRM3| WAVE3
PRM4| –| –
PRM5| TIME(l->2)| 0 – 5000(msec)
PRM6| TIME(2->3)| 0 – 5000(msec)
PRM7| DETUNE| -16 – + 16(CENT)
PRM8| COLOR| Classic, Modern
PRM9| MOD TYPE| See “Synth engine parameter modulation“

Added DETUNE to SBIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (MORPH)

Added DETUNE to the parameters of 8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (MORPH).

8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH (MORPH)

This is the morphing mode of the 8-bit waveform memory synth.
The waveform morphs from WAVEl to WAVE2 to WAVE3 cyclically.
Special operations| None
PRM1| WAVE1| MEMORYl – MEMORY3: Waveforms saved in the current MEMORY
Bank0l – BankSO: Bank waveform shared within the ELZ_lFM0l – FM20: FM bank waveform shared within the ELZ_l NOTE:
• “None” can only be selected for WAVE3. When “None” is selected, the waveform will morph from WAVEl to WAVE2 cyclically.
• Bank0l – Bank50 and FM0l – FM20 waveforms cannot be edited.
PRM2| WAVE2
| WAVE3
PRM4| TIME| 50 – 4000ms : Waveform switching time
PRM5| COLOR| Classic, Modern
PRM6| DETUNE| -16 – +16(CENT)
PRM7| –| –
PRM8| –| –
PRM9| MOD TYPE| See “Synth engine parameter modulation“

Synth engine parameter modulation

Each synth engine has parameters for modulation using an LFO or envelope.
When the MOD TYPE parameter is set to LFO or Envelope, additional modulation parameters become available.

PRMl MOD TYPE OFF, LFO, Envelope: Modulation type selection
PRM2 ASSIGN Select the modulated parameter.

The parameters that can be chosen differ according to the synth engine.
The parameters after ASSIGN depend on whether the MOD TYPE is LFO or Envelope.

When MOD TYPE is LFO

PRM3| DELAY| 0 -2000ms (delay before modulation starts)
PRM4| WAVE| Sine, Square, Triangle, Sawtooth, Rev.Sawtooth, Random, Log, Rev.Log (waveform used to modulate target)
PRM5| RATE| 1-100 (modulation speed)
PRM6| DEPTH| 0 -100 (modulation depth)
PRM7| COUNT| Infinite, 1-50: Count of LFO
PRM8| WAVELEN| 1-1/8: Range used by LFO waveform
PRM9| PHASE| 0, 180: LFO waveform phase
PRMlO| TAIL| Hold: Holds the current value of the LFO after the specified number of times when COUNT is not Infinite Origin: the current value of LFO is reset to 0 after the specified number of times when COUNT is not Infinite
When MOD TYPE is Envelope
PRM3| DELAY| 0 – 2000ms (delay before modulation starts)
PRM4| INVERT| Off, On (inverts modulation)
PRMS| DEPTH| 0 – 100 (modulation depth)
PRM6| ATTACK| 0-  S000ms
PRM7| DECAY| 0-  S000ms
PRM8| SUSTAIN| 0-100%
PRM9| RELEASE| 0-  S000ms
