Parameter Value Explanation
PMT tab
Structure Type 1 & 2
Structure Type 3 & 4
1–10
Determines how partial 1 and 2, or partial 3 and 4 are connected.
The following 10 dierent types of combination are available.
PARTIAL 1 (3)
Partial 2 (4)
TVATVF
WG
WG
TVF TVA
TYPE 1
With this type, partial 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4) are
independent. Use this type when you want to
preserve PCM sounds or create and combine sounds
for each partial.
PARTIAL 1 (3)
PARTIAL
2 (4)
TVA
TVF
WG
WG
TVF TVA
TYPE 2
This type stacks the two lters together to intensify
the characteristics of the lters. The TVA for partial 1
(or 3) controls the volume balance between the two
partials.
PARTIAL 1 (3)
PARTIAL 2 (4)
TVA TVFWG
WG
TVF TVA
B
TYPE 3
B: Booster
This type mixes the sound of partial 1 (3) and partial
2 (4), applies a lter, and then applies a booster to
distort the waveform.
PARTIAL1 (3)
PARTIAL 2 (4)
TVA TVF

WG
TVF TVA
B
TYPE 4
B: Booster
This type applies a booster to distort the waveform,
and then combines the two lters. The TVA for partial
1 (or 3) controls the volume balance between the two
partials and adjusts booster level.
PARTIAL1 (3)
PARTIAL 2 (4)
TVA TVFWG
WG
TVF TVA
R
TYPE 5
R: Ring Modulator
This type uses a ring modulator to create new
overtones, and combines the two lters. The partial
1 (3) TVA will control the volume balance of the two
partials, adjusting the depth of ring modulator.
PARTIAL1 (3)
PARTIAL 2 (4)
TVA TVFWG
WG
TVF TVA
R
TYPE 6
R: Ring Modulator
This type uses a ring modulator to create new
overtones, and in addition mixes in the sound of
partial 2 (4) and stacks the two lters. Since the
ring-modulated sound can be mixed with partial 2
(4), partial 1 (3) TVA can adjust the amount of the
ring-modulated sound.
PARTIAL1 (3)
PARTIAL 2 (4)
TVATVF
WG
WG
TVF TVA
R
TYPE 7
R: Ring Modulator
This type applies a lter to partial 1 (3) and
ring-modulates it with partial 2 (4) to create new
overtones.
PARTIAL1 (3)
PARTIAL 2 (4)
TVATVF
WG
WG
TVF TVA
R
TYPE 8
R: Ring Modulator
This type sends the ltered partial 1 (3) and partial 2
(4) through a ring modulator, and then mixes in the
sound of partial 2 (4) and applies a lter to the result.
PARTIAL1 (3)
PARTIAL 2 (4)
TVATVF
WG
WG
TVF TVA
R
TYPE 9
R: Ring Modulator
This type passes the ltered sound of each partial
through a ring modulator to create new overtones.
The partial 1 (3) TVA will control the volume balance
of the two partials, adjusting the depth of ring
modulator.
PARTIAL 1 (3)
PARTIAL 2 (4)
TVATVF

TVF TVA
R
TYPE 10
R: Ring Modulator
This type passes the ltered sound of each partial
through a ring modulator to create new overtones,
and also mixes in the sound of partial 2 (4). Since the
ring-modulated sound can be mixed with partial 2
(4), partial 1 (3) TVA can adjust the amount of the
ring-modulated sound.
