Description
Portamento Mode.
Norm, Fix: Normal mode, with a fixed time (set by the P. Time parameter) for the new
note to reach its pitch. In legato mode (See "Master section" on page 16), portamento
is in effect even when the first note has been released.
Norm, Var: Normal mode, with portamento time depending also on the interval
between the notes.
Fing, Fix: Fingered mode with fixed time. In legato mode, the first note must be held in
order for the portamento glide to take place.
Fing, Var: Fingered mode, with portamento time depending also on the interval
between the notes.
Off: No portamento
Portamento time, from 0 to 10 seconds.
Filtered DC-Burst level.
This will create a "pop" on Note-On, mostly used to recreate old analog drum machine
sounds, or to add some punch to a program.
Random detuning level.
This feature is commonly used to emulate the tuning instabilities in early analog
synthesizers.
The random detune affects every oscillator individually.
The X-Y Pad allows you to modulate any pair of parameters on Z3TA+ by using the
mouse. Parameters are chosen by enabling the X and Y pad individually as a source
in the Mod Matrix.
Determines how long it takes to go from the current X-Y position to the next position
you click.
When enabled, the X-Y Pad will respond to joystick movements if a joystick is
connected and configured in Windows Control Panel.
