- Right-click to switch to a preview display of the waveform generated on a new note:
|
||||
- Left-click restarts the preview.
|
||||
- Middle-click pauses and unpauses the preview.
|
||||
- Right-click returns to algorithm view.
|

|
||||
- **LFO Frequency Sensitivity (FMS/PMS)**: Determines the amount of LFO frequency changes. (0-7 range)
|
||||
- **LFO Amplitude Sensitivity (AM)**: Determines the amount of LFO amplitude changes. (0-3 range)
|
||||
- **LFO Frequency Sensitivity 2 (FMS/PMS2)**: Determines the amount of second LFO frequency changes. (0-7 range)
|
||||
- **LFO Amplitude Sensitivity 2 (AMS2)**: Determines the amount of second LFO amplitude changes. (0-3 range)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Request from TX81Z**: if a Yamaha TX81Z is plugged in as MIDI input and output device, this sends a SysEx to the device in order to fetch its current voice.
|
||||
|
||||
These apply to each operator:
|
||||
- The crossed-arrows button can be dragged to rearrange operators.
|
||||
- The **OP1**, **OP2**, **OP3**, and **OP4** buttons enable or disable those operators.
|
||||
- **Amplitude Modulation (AM)**: Makes the operator affected by LFO.
|
||||
- **Attack Rate (AR)**: determines the rising time for the sound. The bigger the value, the faster the attack. (0-31 range)
|
||||
- **Decay Rate (DR)**: Determines the diminishing time for the sound. The higher the value, the shorter the decay. It's the initial amplitude decay rate. (0-31 range)
|
||||
- **Sustain Level (SL)**: Determines the point at which the sound ceases to decay and changes to a sound having a constant level. The sustain level is expressed as a fraction of the maximum level. (0-15 range)
|
||||
- **Secondary Decay Rate (DR2) / Sustain Rate (SR)**: Determines the diminishing time for the sound. The higher the value, the shorter the decay. This is the long "tail" of the sound that continues as long as the key is depressed. (0-31 range)
|
||||
- **Release Rate (RR)**: Determines the rate at which the sound disappears after KEY-OFF. The higher the value, the shorter the release. (0-15 range)
|
||||
- **Total Level (TL)**: Represents the envelope’s highest amplitude, with 0 being the largest and 127 (decimal) the smallest. A change of one unit is about 0.75 dB.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- **Envelope Scale (RS/KS)**: Also known as "Key Scale". Determines the degree to which the envelope execution speed increases according to the pitch. (0-3 range)
|
||||
- **Frequency Multiplier (MULT)**: Determines the operator frequency in relation to the pitch. (0-15 range)
|
||||
- **Fine Frequency Multiplier (Fine)**: a fine control for MULT.
|
||||
- **Envelope Generator Shift (EGS)**: adds a "handicap" to the envelope. in other words, the minimum value.
|
||||
- 0: no change
|
||||
- 1: -12dB
|
||||
- 2: -24dB
|
||||
- 3: -48dB
|
||||
- does not apply for OP4.
|
||||
- **Reverb (REV)**: not a true reverb. extends release time, giving a slight reverb-like effect to the operator.
|
||||
- **Fine Detune (DT)**: Shifts the pitch a little. (0-7 range)
|
||||
- **Coarse Detune (DT2)**: Shifts the pitch by tens of cents. (0-3 range)
|
||||
|
||||
### fixed frequency mode
|
||||
|
||||
each operator has a Fixed Frequency mode. once enabled, the operator runs at the specified frequency regardless of the note.

||||
## macros
|
||||
|
||||
Macros define the sequence of values passed to the given parameter. Via macro, along with the previously mentioned parameters, the following can be controlled:
|
||||
|
||||
## FM Macros
|
||||
|
||||
- **AM Depth**: amplitude modulation depth.
|
||||
- **PM Depth**: pitch modulation depth.
|
||||
- **LFO Speed**: LFO frequency.
|
||||
- **LFO Shape**: LFO shape. Choose between saw, square, triangle, and random.
|
||||
- **AM Depth 2**: amplitude modulation depth (second LFO).
|
||||
- **PM Depth 2**: pitch modulation depth (second LFO).
|
||||
- **LFO2 Speed**: LFO 2 frequency.
|
||||
- **LFO2 Shape**: LFO 2 shape. Choose between saw, square, triangle, and random.
|
||||
|
||||
## OP1-OP4 Macros
|
||||
|
||||
All parameters are listed above.
|
||||
|
||||
## Macros
|
||||
|
||||
- **Arpeggio**: Pitch change sequence in semitones.
|
||||
- **Noise Frequency**: specifies the noise frequency in noise mode of YM2151's Channel 8 Operator 4 special mode.
|
||||
- **Panning**: toggles output on left and right channels.
|
||||
- **Pitch**: fine pitch.
|
||||
- **Relative**: pitch changes are relative to the current pitch, not the note's base pitch.
|
||||
- **Phase Reset**: Restarts all operators and resets the waveform to its start. Effectively the same as a `0Cxx` retrigger.
