MIDI Section
USB PORT - This USB type B jack
(1)
allows connection to a computer.
The MODEL D will show up as a
class-compliant USB MIDI device,
capable of supporting MIDI in
and out.
USB MIDI IN - accepts incoming
MIDI data from an application.
USB MIDI OUT - sends MIDI data
to an application.
MIDI IN - this 5-pin DIN jack
(2)
receives MIDI data from an
external source. This will
commonly be a MIDI keyboard, an
external hardware sequencer, a
computer equipped with a MIDI
interface, etc.
MIDI THRU - this 5-pin DIN jack
(3)
is used to pass through MIDI
data received at the MIDI INPUT.
This will commonly be sent to
another MODEL D synthesizer
to run a Poly Chain or to a drum
machine assigned to a different
MIDI Channel.
Controllers Section
OSC3/FILTER EG - switch between
(4)
OSC 3 or the Filter Envelope as a
modulation source.
GLIDE - adjust the amount of Glide
(5)
(Portamento), between notes on
the keyboard.
TUNE - adjust the frequency of
(6)
oscillators 1, 2, and 3. (OSC3 is
not affected if the OSC3 CONTROL
switch is off.)
OSCILLATOR MODULATION -
(7)
when ON, the three oscillators are
modulated by the modulation mix,
set by the MOD MIX knob.
MOD MIX - adjust the modulation
(8)
mix between OSC3/Filter EG and
Noise/LFO.
NOISE (MOD SRC)/ LFO - switch
(9)
between Noise (or external
modulation source) or Low
Frequency Oscillator (LFO) as a
modulation source.
MOD DEPTH - adjust the
(10)
modulation depth from off
to maximum. The modulation
depth can also be adjusted using
the modulation wheel on a
MIDI keyboard.
WAVE SHAPE - select the LFO
(11)
wave shape from either triangular
or square wave.
LFO RATE - adjusts the frequency
(12)
of the LFO.
Oscillator Bank Section
OSC 3 CONTROL - when ON, the
(13)
frequency of Oscillator 3 will vary
with the keyboard. When OFF,
the keyboard, Pitch wheel, and
Modulation wheel, will have no
effect on OSC3.
FREQUENCY RANGE - select from
(14)
six frequency ranges of Oscillator
1, 2, or 3.
FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT -
(15)
adjust the frequency of Oscillator
2 or 3.
WAVE SHAPE - select the wave
(16)
shape used for Oscillator 1, 2, or
3 from: triangular, triangular/
sawtooth (OSC 1 and 2), reverse
sawtooth (OSC 3), sawtooth,
square, medium pulse, and narrow
pulse.
MOD SOURCE (INPUT) - allows
(17)
connection of an external
modulation source. If nothing is
connected here, then the internal
Noise generator is available as a
modulation source.
OSC 1V/OCT (INPUT) - this input
(18)
allows the frequency of the three
oscillators to be adjusted by an
external control voltage (1 Volt
input increase, will increase the
frequency by one Octave).
LFO CV (INPUT) - allows control of
(19)
the LFO frequency by an external
control voltage.
Mixer Section
VOLUME - adjust the volume of
(20)
Oscillator 1, 2, or 3.
ON/OFF - select the sources to
(21)
play from OSC 1, OSC 2, OSC 3,
Noise, and External Input, or any
combination of these 5 sources.
NOISE VOLUME - adjust the level
(22)
of the internal Noise source.
WHITE/PINK - switch the internal
(23)
Noise source from Pink noise to
White noise.
OVERLOAD - indicates when
(24)
the audio levels of the mix are
overloading the mixer section.
EXT IN VOLUME - adjust the level
(25)
of any external source playing into
the external Input. If nothing is
connected to the external input,
then instead of any external audio
coming in at this point, the main
MODEL D output is automatically
connected here.
This creates a feedback path from
the output back into the mixer
section, to get extra phat bass or
extra crunch. In this case, the EXT
IN volume control will adjust the
level of the incoming main audio
fed back into the mixer section.
LFO Triangular (OUTPUT)
(26)
- outputs the internal LFO
triangular-wave signal.
LFO Square (OUTPUT) -
(27)
outputs the internal LFO
square-wave signal.
EXT (INPUT) - connect any
(28)
external line-level audio source
to this 3.5 mm input. If nothing
is connected here, then the
main audio output is internally
connected to this external input.
MIX (OUTPUT) - outputs the final
(29)
mix from this Mixer section.
Modifiers Section
DECAY - when ON, the signal
(30)
will decay during the time set
by the DECAY TIME knob after
a note or external trigger is
released. When OFF, it will decay
immediately after a note or
external trigger is released.
LOUDNESS DECAY - affects the
decay of volume level of the
Loudness section.
FILTER DECAY - affects the decay
of the cutoff frequency of the
Filter section.
KEYBOARD CONTROL - these
(31)
switches vary the effect of the
keyboard tracking, where the filter
section is affected by the pitch of
note played.
Switch 1 and 2 OFF - no keyboard
tracking effect
Switch 1 and 2 ON -
maximum effect
Switch 1 ON (only) - 1/3 of
maximum effect
Switch 2 ON (only) - 2/3 of
maximum effect
