mxm-mono-02 manual
Two free-running oscillators, a locked sub, and one envelope shared by the filter, amplifier, and pulse width.
The ranges and Init values below come straight from the plugin.
Modulator
LFO rate — 0.20 … 25.00 Hz, Init 5.00 Hz
Sets the LFO speed.
LFO delay — 0 ms … 1.50 s, Init 0 ms
Sets how long the sine LFO takes to fade in after a note starts. Square and Random start immediately.
LFO shape — Sine, Square, or Random, Init Sine
Chooses the LFO waveform. Random moves in steps.
VCO LFO — 0 … 100% (0 … 7 semitones), Init 0%
Sets vibrato depth. Small values give normal vibrato; full range reaches a fifth.
Auto bend — 0 … 100% (0 … 12 semitones), Init 0%
Makes the pitch swoop into each note by up to one octave.
Pulse width
Pulse width — 5 … 50%, Init 50%
Sets the pulse duty cycle for both oscillators. 50% is square; lower values sound thinner.
PWM depth — 0 … 100%, Init 0%
Sets how far the selected PWM source moves the width.
PWM source — Envelope, Manual, or LFO, Init Manual
Chooses what moves the pulse width.
Oscillators
Tune — −200 … +200 cents, Init 0 cents
Fine-tunes the whole synth by up to two semitones.
VCO-1 range — 32’, 16’, 8’, 4’, or 2’, Init 8'
Sets VCO-1’s octave. 8’ is concert pitch.
VCO-1 wave — Sine, Sawtooth, Square, or Pulse, Init Sawtooth
Chooses VCO-1’s waveform.
VCO-1 bender — Off or On, Init On
Chooses whether pitch bend reaches VCO-1.
VCO-2 range — 32’, 16’, 8’, 4’, or 2’, Init 8'
Sets VCO-2’s octave.
VCO-2 wave — Noise, Sawtooth, Square, or Pulse, Init Sawtooth
Chooses VCO-2’s waveform. Noise replaces the sine found on VCO-1.
VCO-2 tune — −100 … +100%, Init 3%
Tunes VCO-2 against VCO-1. The range depends on VCO-2 tune range. Init is a few cents sharp, ready for a gentle beat when you raise its mixer level.
VCO-2 tune range — Narrow or Wide, Init Narrow
Sets VCO-2 Tune to ±200 cents or ±1750 cents.
Mixer
Sub — 0 … 100%, Init 0%
Level of the sub oscillator, locked one octave below VCO-1.
VCO-1 — 0 … 100%, Init 100%
VCO-1 level.
VCO-2 — 0 … 100%, Init 0%
VCO-2 level.
Filter
A resonant four-stage OTA low-pass. The bass gets thinner as resonance rises.
Cutoff — 0 … 100% (10 Hz … 20 kHz), Init 90%
Sets the filter frequency across an eleven-octave range.
Resonance — 0 … 100%, Init 0%
Sets filter feedback. It self-oscillates in the top fifth of the control.
Envelope to filter — Envelope, Inverted, or Follower, Init Envelope
Envelope follows the ADSR. Inverted moves in the other direction. Follower tracks the level of the synth’s own signal.
Env amount — 0 … 100% (0 … 10 octaves), Init 0%
Sets filter modulation depth. Follower mode uses a five-octave range.
VCF LFO — 0 … 100% (0 … 4 octaves), Init 0%
Sets how far the LFO moves the cutoff.
Key track — 0 … 100% (0 … 1.2:1), Init 0%
Makes higher notes raise the cutoff. At 100%, one keyboard octave moves the filter by 1.2 octaves. The pivot is middle C.
Envelope
One ADSR can control the filter, amplifier, and pulse width.
Attack — 1 ms … 2.50 s, Init 2 ms
Time to reach full level.
Decay — 2 ms … 10.00 s, Init 300 ms
Time to fall from full level to Sustain.
Sustain — 0 … 100%, Init 100%
Level held while a note is down.
Release — 2 ms … 10.00 s, Init 100 ms
Time to fade after the note is released.
Trigger — Gate + trig, Gate, or LFO, Init Gate + trig
Gate + trig restarts on every note. Gate lets overlapping notes share one envelope. LFO retriggers while a key is held.
Amplifier
VCA — Hold, Envelope, or Gate, Init Envelope
Envelope uses the ADSR for volume. Gate stays open while a key is down. Hold leaves the amplifier open for drones; All Sound Off closes it.
Volume — −60.0 … 0.0 dB, Init −6.0 dB
Sets the output level.
Voice
Portamento — 0 ms … 5.00 s, Init 0 ms
Sets glide time. The keyboard uses low-note priority.
Bend range — 0 … 24 st, Init 2 st
Sets the pitch-bend range in semitones.
Bend to filter — 0 … 100% (up to 1:1), Init 0%
Makes pitch bend open the filter too. At full depth, one octave of bend moves the cutoff by one octave.
