OVERVIEW
feedback left knob
degree of modulation of operator 1 to itself
- algorithm right knob
modulators are the operators that modulate the carriers. carriers are the operators you can hear - velocity right knob
turn on/off the midi velocity control in each operator
- frequency multiplier right knob operator‘s frequency multiplier
*different frequency ratios between carrier and its modulator will produce different overtones
attack rate left knob
- total level right knob
- decay rate left knob
secondary total level right knob - envelope generator type left knob
release rate right knob - key scale level left knob
- key scale rate right knob
vibrato frequency left knob global for 4 operators
- vibrato on/off right knob for every individual operator
- tremolo frequency left knob global for 4 operators
- tremolo on/off right knob for every individual operator
operator waveform right knob for every individual operator
- edit midi ch/bank 0 preset selection left knob
- save preset in midi ch selection left knob
*number: midi channel number : midi bank 0 preset
*number on top shows the preset that is being edited - load 6 presets from sd card to midi channels
*presets need to be named as patch0x.opli (x from 1 to 6) - save all 6 presets from midi channels to sd card
