Tone generator block

The tone generator block is equipped with a hybrid sound engine combining three synthesis systems.

The AWM2 sound engine features waveforms containing sampled wave data you can assign to each element, and then modify the sound by using Filters and EGs (envelope generators). Each Normal Part uses up to 128 elements to generate a wide range of rich sounds that help you create expressive sounds. Since the “raw” waveforms sampled from the actual acoustic instruments have been processed to enable each note to be used for various music, this sound engine produces the realistic sound of musical instruments such as piano and wind instruments, for example. You can use this sound engine not just for reproducing realistic instrument sounds but also for creating completely new sounds by using filters and the EG. For the Drum Part, you can use up to 73 drum keys to assign the waveforms of percussion sounds to each key on the keyboard to create a desired drum kit.

The Drum Part has a maximum of 73 drum keys you can use for creating desired drum kits by assigning the waveforms of percussion sounds to each key on the keyboard.

The FM-X sound engine uses eight oscillators (Operators) to modulate the frequency of the waves generated by each Operator to create rich harmonic overtones.
The Operators are grouped into two roles: Carrier and Modulator. The Modulators modulate the next Operator while the Carriers generate the resulting sounds. The function in which the Operator modulates itself is called “feedback.” The FM-X sound engine features pre-programmed Algorithms that have 88 different patterns for connecting the Operators. With this sound engine, you can use the parameters to control the harmonic overtones of the Operator waves and apply the same high-quality filters, effects, and EQ available in the AWM2 sound engine to create more complex sounds than possible with conventional FM sound engines.

The AN-X is a virtual analog sound engine that digitally reproduces the behavior of analog synthesizers in great detail.
With their traditional and innovative features, the oscillators of this next-generation AN sound engine provide more flexibility in modulation and wave-shaping functions so that you can create a wide variety of sounds—from “real” vintage to edgy and extreme.

• Features three Oscillators and one Noise generator.
• OSC3 modulates OSC1 and OSC2 (either with frequency modulation or ring modulation)
• Each OSC controls the shape of the waves by using Pulse Width, OSC Self Sync, or Wave Shaper.
• You can set each OSC to output before or after Filter 1 and Filter 2.
