Base Program
* Dry + 6-voice mono synth, stacked with unison + four more voices in harmony.
* Very responsive to input volume, tone, pickup variations & player technique.
* Normally advisable: single note lines -> mono synths, in scale -> harmony constraints.
* Not this one. Somehow capable of surviving massive chordal input via ‘mono y mono’.
* Quantize defeated to facilitate wide vibrato & deep pitch bending.
* Insert Mode Program. HotSawz in Series with Quadravox+.
* HotSawz stages a coup over the Parallel mode option.
* Program Mix 50%. Out Gain dropped to -3.0 dB (it’s still LOUD).
* All controls below were programmed for an interactive overlap.
* Certain combinations of parameters will wake the dead.
HOTKNOBS
Program [P] HotKnob – default (50 / CC#70)
* Increase filter resonance & decrease filter decay.
* Set the overall delay time footprint. 125 BPM default.
* -> 500 BPM = shortest adjustable range of delays.
* -> 30 BPM = longest adjustable range of delays.
Preset [A] HotKnob – default (8 / CC#2]
* Change the destination of the HotSawz envelope.
Preset [B] HotKnob – default (10 / CC#3]
* Change Quadravox+ Scale (default Minor).
* default Root (key of A).
* Change with CC#4, CC#67 or PERFORM Switch.
PEDALS
EXP1 (saved @ full Heel)
* Increases initial oscillator stack size & detuning.
* Increases modulation rate of triangle LFO.
* Increases filter cutoff, attack time and gate sustain level.
* Changes voice mix, formants & pan positions.
EXP2 (saved @ full Heel)
* Increases feedback & decreases slide time in Quadravox+.
SWITCHES
* AUX 1,2,3 mapped to HS1, HS2, HS3 (momentary action)
* AUX 4,5,6 mapped to HS1, HS2, HS3 (latching action)
Program Alternates
* 0). Touch-controlled filter. Attack synth, plus 4-harmony ‘oscillator’ stack.
* 1). Korg ‘Expand’ glides on synth trombone – long delays, moderate Feedback.
* 2). Undulating synth brass ensemble – medium delay, shorter Feedback decay.
* 3). Resonant synth, swimming through waves of LFO – moderate delay, longer Feedback.
PERFORM
1). [P] Act/Byp
2). Retrigger (H/S)
3). Root Learn (QV+)
4). HS1 (L)
5). HS2 (L)
6). GLIDE (L)
