6. OSCs 1-3 Wavetable
Overview
OSC 1-3 are wavetable oscillators with 2 types of waveform you can select. 2D wavetables are fixed single cycle
waveforms much like an analogue synth. 3D Wavetables have multiple frames that can be scrolled through
using the Morph Control giving you the potential for more complex evolving sounds.
Waveform Browser
You can access the wave browser by clicking on the current waveform name just above the waveshape display.
This opens up the wave browser panel. You can select which OSC or Sampler to load a wave into by selecting the
OSC 1 to 3 buttons or Sampler 4 to 6 buttons.

7
Waveform Browser Tree Mode
You can toggle between the standard column mode or tree mode by click the buttons
located in the centre of the wave browser panel. Tree mode enables you to add custom
folders to your folder lists.
OSC 1-3 Controls

ANA 2 has many controls for modifying and shaping the sound from the oscillators.
OSC Selection
There are 3 main oscillators in ANA 2, you can switch between them using the OSC Select buttons.
OSC Top Display

In this section we have OCTAVE, SEMI and FINE for controlling the pitch of the sound. VEL defines the amount
Keyboard velocity impacts the Volume. MVEL defines how much keyboard velocity impacts the 3D Morph control.
KEY controls how much keyboard pitch tracking there is from none at 0 to full tracking at 100.
From V2.5 there is also a analogue DRIFT parameter. This defines how much of a randomised pitch is applied on
each note that is played through this oscillator.

8
ANA 2 has 9 voice unison per OSC with phase management. The phase management ensures that you get less
phase overlaps that can cause thinner or more unstable sounds.
Unison Controls
Voices - Controls the number of unison voices.
Detune - Controls how much pitch detuning is happening between voices.
Width - Sets the amount of stereo spread between each voice.
Shape - Changes the pitch spread relationships from Linear to logarithmic.
SUB and MIX Controls

Sub - Controls the Volume of the Sub oscillator.
Pan - Controls the position in the stereo field from the Left to Right channel.
Filter Mix 1/2 - Sets the amount of signal sent to Filter 1 (left) Both (middle) or Filter 2 (right)
Also available is a filter bypass (x) button
Volume - Changes the oscillators volume.

9
2D Waveform Controls
Phase - Changes the phase of the waveform.
Pulse Width - Squashes the waveform to the left to create a pulse width effect.
Sync - The Sync in ANA 2 is self synchronized. The pitch of the wave is increased while keeping the same
waveform window size.
3D Waveform Controls
When the selected waveform is a 3D Wavetable the PHASE control is swapped for a MORPH control. The morph
control steps through the different frames in the 3D wavetable.
FM - Frequency modulation
FM synthesis is when one waveform modulates the frequency of another waveform to create a more complex
sound. In ANA 2 you can modulate the frequency of each oscillator using various sources as follows:
OSC 1 - Can use OSC 2 or OSC 3 as the modulator.
OSC 2 - Can use OSC 3 or the SUB as the modulator.
OSC 3 - Can only use the SUB as the modulator
You can select which sources is being used as the modulator by clicking on its name in the source selector
panel in the FM section. You can also select from 4 modulator Filter options in the OSCs Settings drop
down. This can help clean up the FM sound.

10
7. OSCs 4-6 Sampler
Overview
OSC 4-6 are sample players. You can load samples from the included library or set up custom locations for your
own samples or simply drag and drop files from your computers file system. The sampler has Loop (with Cross
fade) and Reverse.
Sample Browser
You can access the sample browser by clicking on the current waveform name just above the sample waveform
display. This opens up the wave browser panel. You can select which OSC or Sampler to load a wave in to by
selecting the OSC 1 to 3 buttons or Sampler 4 to 6 buttons.

11
Sample Browser Tree Mode
You can toggle between the standard column mode or tree mode by clicking the
buttons located in the centre of the sample browser panel. Tree mode enables you to
add custom folders to your folder lists. Simply click on the +ADD FOLDER text button at
the bottom of the first column
Sampler 4-6 Controls

ANA 2 has various controls to help control the play back of the samples
Sampler Selection
There are 3 samplers in ANA 2, you can switch between them using the sampler select buttons.

12
Sampler Controls
In this section we have all the various sampler controls for managing sampler play back and pitch etc.
Waveform - Displays the currently selected sample... Clicking the waveform names open the sample browser.
Clear - Clears the current sample.
Retrig - Toggles between the sample starting at the start point or starting from a random location in the sample.
Loop - Toggles loop mode on and off.
Reverse - Reverses playback of the sample
OCTAVE, SEMI FINE - Controls the pitch of the sound.
Drift - Controls subtle pitching variations on each note
VEL - Defines the amount Keyboard velocity impacts the Volume.
KEY - Controls how much keyboard pitch tracking there is from none at 0 to full tracking at 100.

13
Multi-Sampling
Multi-Sampling Overview
Oscillators 4-6 now can contain multiple samples (a different sample on each key), as well as the previous
single samples or even a mix and match of both. This means ANA 2 now has a vastly expanded sound palette,
from deep sampled grand pianos, massive strings or bespoke custom built choirs. Users can now create
even bigger sounds with this new function aswell simply creating and even sharing thier own multi-sample
instruments. You can also have upto three layers of samples per key allowing you create even more realistic
sound instruments.
File overview
MSPr - A Multisample Patch or MSPr lets the user save a patch that can be recalled at a later date which
contians information about the samples, any user defined key ranges, loop points, root notes, etc. Anything
defined within the MS Edit screen. Once saved, this patch can be treated like anyother waveform in the browser
and is now avaible to create presets along with waveforms from oscillators 1-3. To clarify, an MSPr will not save
any setting on filters, FX, Gnv's etc or even waveforms in 1-3.
SAMSC - A Multisample instrument or SAMSC is a preset that contains an MSPr setting and the samples
contained with in. This will allow users to share thier multisampling patches along with samples with other ANA
MS users
Presets - Once you have created or installed MSPr's they will become available to the user just like a normal
wavefrom from the waveform brower. You can have a multisample patch in each ocilator 4-6.
Accessing Multi-Sampling Controls

MS Edit - To access the multi-sampling section within ANA 2 simply hit the 'MS Edit' button located in the
Oscillator

14
Multi-Sampling Controls
Zone - Allows to to set the key range zones for the samples imported into ANA MS
Velocity - Here you can set the velocity range of the samples loaded into ANA MS. This will allow you to create
velocity layers, meaning you can have three different samples mapped to the same key with different velocity
ranges.
Root Key - Sets the root key of the sample
Sample - Allows the user the user to see the sample waveform, set start and loop points along with cross fading
and gain.
Import - Allows the user to import samples, multisample patches (MSPr) , and multisample instruments (samsc)
into the selected oscillotor.
Save - Here the user can save the created multisample patch (MSPr). The open dialogue box allow the user to
name, select a folder location for the patcht o be saved and import the samples used into the user libaray.
Clear All Samples - Clears all the samples loaded into the selected oscillator.
V- - Minimum velocity level that the sample will trigger at
V+ - Maximum velocity that the sample will trigger at
RT - The Root Key of the sample
K- - The minimum key position that the sample will trigger on
K+ - The maximum key position that the sample will trigger on

15
Additional per sample settings
When using the multisampler area, you have the option to apply Retrig / Loop / Reverse / Oct / Semi / Fine /
Key / Velo and Pan controls to each specific sample.
Along with those controls there are some additional controls that can be applied
One Shot - This will play the sample in its entireity without any gate on each note played
Note Off - This will trigger this sample when a 'Note Off' value is received rather than a 'Note On' - By default,
when Note Off is active, One Shot is also active as there is no envelope control for the note off sample.
Width - Stereo width control

16
Multisample Right Click Menu
Right clicking in the Multisample area brings up an additional menu for sorting as well as some additional
functions.
Delete Sample - Removes the sample from the multisample list
MIDI
MIDI Learn - Enables you to set Root Key, Low Key and High Key through your MIDI keyboard. Just click on
each item you want to edit and press a midi note.
MIDI Sample Select - Use this to select the sample you want to edit with your midi keyboard.
Sorting
Sort by Name / Root Key / High Key / Low Key / High Velocity / Low Velocity in both ASCENDING and
DESCENDING orders
Loop Settings
Use Loop Points from File - Use this if your sample file already contains a ACID Style loop marker. ANA 2 can
pick this up and apply the loop settings (if it hasn't already done so)
Apply Loop Settings to All Samples - Use this to apply the loop settings you have made in one sample to all
of your other samples
Sample Mapping Options

Map Around Root Keys - Spreads the samples around key ranges either side of its designated Root Key
Map around root keys (Pitch Down only) - Spreads the samples at and below the key ranges of its
designated Root Key (but never above)
Spread Evenly - Spreads the samples across the entire keyboard range
Map Consecutively (Drums) - Places one sample onto each key consecutively on the keyboard
Root Key (Detect From File) - Detects the Root key from the sample (via the file name - end each file name
with an underscore and the Root Key e.g. Piano_C3, Piano_G3)

8. Filters
Filters Overview
ANA 2 Features 2 Filters with 46 filter types. These can be arranged in Series and parallel mode and have and
analog overdrive section.
Filters Categories
ANA 2 Features 3 Filter Categories: Analog, Vowel, Other.
Analog - This section contains analog modelled filters based on various popular filter types from classic synths.
Vowel - This section contains the vocal or vowel filters.
Other - This section contains all the filters from ANA1 and a few other interesting Phase based filter types

19
Filters Routing
Parallel:
Series:
Filters Controls
Cutoff - Controls the frequency at which harmonics are removed from the waveform.
Res (Resonance) - Boosts or cuts part of the signal that surround the frequency as defined by the cutoff.
Env - Controls the amount of signal that will be sent to the filter envelope section.
Key - Controls the amount of filter applied across the keyboard.
Vel - Modulates the filter cutoff from the note velocity
New in v2.5 - Gain - This is a pre filter gain that allows you to adjust the volume of the oscillator pre filter.

RES - Is again linked to both filter 1 and 2’s resonances controls. Will controls the resonance parameters

20
9. Envelopes
Envelopes Overview
ANA 2 has three envelopes types which are abbreviated to FILT ENV, AMP ENV and MOD ENV on the interface.
Envelopes enable you to control a certain function over time using Attack Time, Decay Time, Sustain Level, and
Release Time
Envelopes Controls
All the envelopes share the same controls:
Attack - Controls the time taken for a signal go from zero amplitude to a predetermined amplitude.
Decay - Controls the time taken for a signal to fall to the sustain level following the initial attack time.
Sustain - Controls the desired signal level of the held note.
Release - Controls the time taken for the signal to fall from the sustain period to zero amplitude.
Velo - Controls the velocity sensitivity of the Filt env and how it will react with incoming signals.
Curve - Here you can select if the envelope acts in a linear or exponential way.
Envelope Type - ANA 2 has 2 main envelope types ANA 1 and ANA 2, both with analog variants. ANA 1 replicates
the envelope shape from ANA 1.5 and is great for fast plucks and replicating ANA 1 presets. The ANA 2 shape is
modelled on a string pluck and has a more natural sound. The analog variants have slower attacks and other
non-linearities which replicate some features from an analog synths envelopes.

21
Filter & Amp Envelope
The Filter Envelope is hard wired to control the filter cutoff from both filters. You can control the amount the
envelope effects each filter with the filter env control in the filter section. The Amp Envelope is hard wired to
control the volume amplitude..
MOD Envelope
The MOD envelope is a freely assignable envelope. You can assign it by either right clicking the control you
would like to assign or by opening the MOD matrix and choosing a source and one of the mod envs as a
destination. There are 4 separate mod envs so you can control multiple parameters individually.

22
10. G-ENV
G-ENV Overview
ANA 2 has three graphical envelopes each with virtually unlimited nodes to create your own envelope shapes,
which in turn can be assigned to all of ANA 2's modulation targets. The G-Env has many possible functions from
creating simple custom filter and amp envelope shapes, pitch sweeps for creating kicks, controlling and creating
pan effects, to adding subtle oscillator pitch movements to create analog style drifting. You can even use the
G-Env to create the ubiquitous dubstep 'wub' sound.

11. EFFECTS
Effects Overview
ANA 2 comes with 26 built in world class effects that can be used in 5 insert slots, or in the two unique send
and return slots. The 5 insert slots can be re-ordered by simply grabbing and moving the tabs whilst the send FX
slots can be used to bus a single insert to an effect or a complete chain. You can combine any one of the factory
effects or even have several instances of the same effect to create some truly incredible effect chains. With full
control over input, output and dry/wet - every effect parameter is also available as a modulation destination, or
can be macro’d together to get some insane effects going with the turn of one knob. You are only limited by your
imagination.
Common controls
Input - Sets the input level going into the effect.
Dry/Wet - Controls the amount of dry or wet signal that is heard.
Output - Defines the output of the effected signal.
Send 1 - Amount - Sets the amount of signal being sent to send 1.
Send 2 - Amount - Sets the amount of signal being sent to send 2.
Pre/Post FX - With post FX engaged (Highlighted) the insert will be placed after all other effects including the
sends in the signal path. This is useful for setting up a limiter or compressor over the output bus.

25
Reverb - Hall
ANA 2's reverb effect allows the user to simulate acoustic spaces. This reverb is based on a hall reverb algorithm.
Size - Controls the size of the simulated acoustic space.
Decay - Controls the time taken for the signal to reach RT -60db.
Diffusion - Controls whether early reflections are closer together and therefore diffused, or by reducing, creates
more discrete echoes.

27
Delay
ANA 2's Delay effect allows incoming signals to be delayed and repeated a short time later, defined as the delay
time, with the resulting multiple repeats creating the effect.
Delay Time - Controls the time of the repeated signal - can be sync to the host tempo or expressed in
milliseconds.
Feedback - Controls the amount of delayed signal that is routed back to the input. The greater the feedback the
more delays are reproduced.
Offset - Offsets the repeated signals by small amounts to create subtle offsets or ‘swings' in the taps. Above 50%
reduces the left signal delay time whilst increasing the right hand signal delay time and below 50% increases
the left signal delay time whilst reducing the right hand signal delay time.
Width - Controls whether the repeated signals are centred or panned left and right.
High Pass - Controls the Hi-Pass filter frequency of the delays.
Low Pass - Controls the low-pass filter frequency of the delays.

28
Ping-Pong Dleay
ANA 2's Ping Pong Delay effect is two mono delays, The dry signal is fed firstly to the left channel and the output
is then feeds into right channel. This gives the impression of the delays going from side to side with nothing in
the middle.
Delay Time - Controls the time of the repeated signal - can be sync to the host tempo or expressed in
milliseconds.
Offset - Offsets the repeated signals by small amounts to create subtle offsets or ‘swings' in the taps. Above 50%
reduces the left signal delay time whilst increasing the right hand signal delay time and below 50% increases
the left signal delay time whilst reducing the right hand signal delay time.
Width - Controls whether the repeated signals are centred or panned left and right
High Pass - Controls the Hi-Pass filter frequency of the delays

transform simple tones and shape them into harmonically rich tones.
Shape - Selects the pre-define shape to be applied to the output.
Hi Pass - Controls the Hi-Pass filter frequency of the cshaper.

34
Bitcrusher
Bitcrusher is a digital distortion effect use to replicate the sounds of early digital signals. It works by reducing the
number of bits in the signal and also applying downsampling, where you can reduce the sample rate.

Drive - Sets the amount of gain applied to the input signal.
Depth - Sets the bitrate, allowing the user to reduce the bit depth of the sound.

35
Tubedrive
This distortion effect simulates the distortion type created when saturating old tube amps. This can create a
pleasing warm distortion and create harmonically rich sounds.
Tube Mode - This selects between the three different modelled tube algorithms.
Drive - Sets the amount of saturation applied to the signal
HI-Pass - Set the frequency of the high cut filter. This can produce a softer tone.
Feedback - Controls the amount of the signal that is routed back to the input

machine.
Emphasis - This allows for precise control of the transients and tone.
Saturation - Sets the amount of saturation applied to the signal
Noise - Set the amount of simulated tape hiss applied to the signal
Low-Pass - Sets the frequency of the low cut filter. This can re-produce tape roll off.

39
Chorus
The ANA 2 Chorus effect will add a richness or fullness your sound. It does this by multiplying and then delaying
the original sound source - called delay lines, and then adding subtle changes in timing and pitch through the
following parameters -:

12. ARP
Overview
ANA 2’s 64 step polyphonic Arp helps you create amazing and inspiring arpeggios based on the notes or chords
from you DAW, or it can become a really powerful tool when used in conjunction with ANA 2’s CMD. With Arp
you can turn chords into a succession of notes to add rhythm and interest to your productions or programme in
a pattern of chord stabs - or have both! With an array of controls where you can invert the arp sequences, add
swing and gates or just open one of the factory presets to get started straight away. The 64 note step sequencer
not only controls velocity, but has two 'mod' sources that can be assign to any Modulation destination.
Topbar
Arp On - This switches the Arp on (highlighted) or off
Preset Lock - Switching preset lock on (highlighted) allows the user to lock the active arp whilst auditioning
different sound presets. If a sound preset has an arp associated with it, this will be ignored and the current arp
will play instead.
Work Areas - Opens either just the arp or both Arp + CMD work areas.

51
Pattern Area Concept
Along the left hand side of the arp going upwards like a piano roll are the lanes ‘Note 1-6’. This determines which
note of the incoming MIDI data (note or chords) is played back by the arp. If for instance, we have a 3 note chord
and wish you to arpeggiate this, we need to place a note block on Note 1, Note 2 and Note 3 by clicking on the
steps 1,2 and 3. Nothing will play if we place a note block on Note 4, as there is only 3 notes of incoming MIDI
data from our 3 note chord. To use all 6 notes in the arp, you will need to have 6 different notes of incoming MIDI
data. If you insert notes on ‘Note 1, 2 and 3 and all on step one, the arp will play the chord of all three notes. You
can have a combination of single notes and chords in the arp.
You can further add notes either one octave up or down from he incoming MIDI data. Great for adding top lines
to your Arp, or deeply enhance chords making them fuller using the root note one octave down.
Note 1-6 - Here the user inserts either single note or chord note blocks into the note lane to determine which
note or notes of the incoming MIDI data is played. You can drag a note block left or right the extend or shorten
the note.
Steps 1-64 - Clicking on a step in the grid will play a note or notes at the respective grid position. You can only
view 16 steps at a time. Highlight one of the four step boxes to see and programme 16 steps at a time 1-16 (16)
17-32 (32) 33-48 (48) and 49-64 (64).
Copy and Paste/C and P - Clicking on ‘C’ copies the pattern contained within the currently selected 16 steps.
Clicking ‘P’ pastes the copied pattern into your selected 16 step area. Includes all programmed MOD and Velocity
data.
OCT 0 - Here the user programmes the arp or chords in the same octave as the incoming MIDI data.
OCT +1 - In this work area you can further programme arps notes or chords, but transposed 1 octave above the
incoming MIDI data.
OCT -1 - In this work area you can further programme arps notes or chords, but transposed 1 octave below the
incoming MIDI data.
MOD 1 - Selects the 64 note step sequencer work area for MOD 1. Click on a step and drag upwards to create
data points.
MOD 2 - Selects the 64 note step sequencer work area for MOD 2. Click on a step and drag upwards to create
data points.
Velocity - Selects the 64 note step sequencer work area for Velocity - you will need to have velocity sensitivity on
the oscillators or filters set to hear any results. Click on a step and drag upwards to create data points.

52

13. CMD
Overview
Chord Memory Device or CMD allows the user to assign chords to any keys and then play those chords back
using just one key. There are two modes in CMD - Single mode assigns one chord type and maps it across all
octaves, so for instance you can assign a 3 note (Triad) minor chord to a chord memory location, then using a
single key you can play back the memorised chord, transposing it up and down the keyboard. In Multi mode you
can assign any chord you want to any chord memory location. Once you have assigned a chord to a memory
location a dot will appear on that key location to denote a chord has been assign to it. Here you can build
complex chord sequences mapped to various location and then play those chords back using just one press of a
key.
CMD Controls
Upper Keyboard - Shows the resulting Chord output. Keys will light up white to show the chords being triggered. If
in multi mode and no chords have been assigned to the chord memory location (no dots on the lower keyboard
keys) then there will be no resulting output shown on the upper keyboard as the MIDI is just passed through.
Lower Keyboard - Shows the Chord Memory Location. If a key has a chord assign to it in multi mode this will be
displayed with a blue dot. When in multi mode a key does not have a blue dot it means that no chord has been
assigned to that key. Please note there are no blue key dots in single mode.
Arrows Up and Down - This allows for transposing of both the chord memory location and the resulting output.
Preset - Selects a drop down menu with Multi, Single, DLC (Downloaded Content) or user saved presets.
Save - Allows the user to save current chords stored in CMD.

15. MACRO AND MOD MATRIX
Overview
ANA 2 comes with a huge amount of modulation sources and targets. Nearly every parameter on ANA 2 can
be used as a target using one or all of the sources like the 4 Modulation Envelope’s, the 3 G-Env's, the further
3 LFO’s, Arp modulators, filter or amp env’s - the list goes on and on. These can easily be assign using the mod
matrix or for even quicker work flow, we have ‘right’ click modulation. Here you can right click over a modulation
target and select the modulation source from the drop down menu.
The modulation in ANA 2 is comprehensive, and will become an extremely powerful tool when designing sounds.
It is further enhanced when use in combination with the macros. Here you can assign several modulation targets
to one knob, available on the front panel.
Macros Matrix Controls
Source column - This is where you assign which of the four macros are to be used to control the target.
Target column - Here the user assigns the macros target, click on the dotted line to get a drop menu of all target
destinations.
Amount Control - Controls the amount sent from the macro knobs to the target.
Invert Control - This will switch the macro send from a positive direction to a negative one.

16. SETTING TAB
Settings controls
Skin Select - Drop down menu allowing to select the different factory supplied skins or any downloaded skins
GUI Size - Select between different skin sizes
Quality - Switches ANA 2 waveforms. HD is on by default, but deselecting this option, ANA 2 will use SD
waveforms which will help reduce CPU load.
Poly Legato Retrigger - With this mode enabled ANA 2 re-triggers the envelopes rather than creating a new note.
This can save CPU for overlapping notes.
Key-track Centre - Sets the pivot point of the key tracking function. Default is 50, which will set the central pivot
point to C3. Key tracking amount on the oscillators and filters will determine the angle of the key tracking.
Envelope Variation - Will set the amount of timing randomisation within the envelopes. This will mimic the
behaviour of some older analogue synths.
Lock Pitchbend - Locks the pitchbend settings that you have already set so that they do not change when you
change preset. This is useful if you have a controller that works best with a set pitchbend range
Macros Names - Click in the macro text box to enter up to 2 lines of text for macro names. This will be reflect
under the front panel macro controls
MIDI Assignment - Use the drop down menu to assign a macro control to a MIDI CC or simply select the learn
function to assign the macro to a controller function.
Preset Skins
From this area you can select whether or not Preset Skins are enabled and also assign them to presets.
If you enable this settings, presets with a saved preset skin will load the desired skin upon switching to that
preset. You can assign a skin to a preset by enabling this section and then chosing a skin from this dropdown
and saving the preset file.
Please note this setting enabled can delay the loading of the preset as the skin change takes place.

62
16. LFO's
Overview
There are 3 low frequency oscillators or LFO’s in ANA 2. They are used to modulate a wide range of different
signals, and can be routed to modulate a huge number of targets like frequency, filters, amplitude, panning,
morphing, effect parameters, the list is long. There are 100’s of different targets and two targets per LFO - 6 in
total giving you endless modulating possibilities.
LFO Controls
Shape - Controls the LFO waveform shape used to modulate the signal.
Delay - Delays the LFO start in ms.
Depth - Controls the modulation amount.
Rate - Controls the speed of the LFO, expressed as tempo synced bar divisions or in Hertz. This is governed by the
sync button.
Phase - Changes the phase of the selected LFO shape up-to 180°
Target 1 & 2 - Selects the target where the LFO will modulate, also includes an intensity pot controlling how
strongly the target is influenced by the LFO.
Target 1&2 Amount - Determines the amount of LFO sent to the target
Loop - With loop on (highlighted), the LFO will continually loop, with it off, it will only oscillate through one single
cycle of the LFO shape
Retrig - The LFO oscillators will run continuously through the cycle of the wave when retrig is de-selected (not
highlighted). When retrig is on (highlighted) it will always play from the very start of waveform cycle.
Sync - Controls whether the rate is synced to the song tempo and divisible by bar and beats (highlighted) or
whether the LFO is independent of the song tempo and set by a rate in hertz (Hz).

63
17. KEYBOARD
Keyboard Controls
Mod - A graphical version of a modulation wheel found on keyboards and some controllers. Use this to apply any
modulation assigned to the mod wheel.
Pitch - A graphical version of a pitch bend wheel. Determines the amount of pitch bend applied to the sound
source. The is governed by the bend range
Bend - Controls the amount of the bend applied by the bend wheel up to 24 semi-tones
Poly - Controls the amount of polyphony available to the sound source. Note that higher polyphony will affect
the CPU load.
Porta - Short for Portamento and controls the time taken for the pitch of one note to bend to the pitch of another.
Mono - Means that only one note at a time can be played back. Mimics the behaviour of older monophonic
hardware synths.
Legato - With both mono and legato engaged, the note will only slide, as determined by the port time, to the new
note whilst holding the previous note.
Slide - With both mono and slide engaged, notes will always slide to the next pitch whether they overlap or not.
