mxm-mono-03 manual

Eleven controls are on the main panel. Eight more sit under Advanced, where the fixed parts of the original circuit become adjustable.

Every parameter can be automated. The ranges and Init values below come straight from the plugin.

Oscillator

Tune — −100 … +100 cents, Init 0.0 cents

Fine-tunes the whole synth by up to one semitone.

Waveform — Sawtooth or Square, Init Sawtooth

Chooses one waveform. The square is shaped from the saw, so it is broader on low notes and closer to even on high notes.

Bend range — 0 … 24 st, Init 2 st

Sets the pitch-bend range in semitones.

Filter

A four-pole diode ladder with uneven poles. It sags a little, loses bass as resonance rises, and can self-oscillate.

Cutoff — 0 … 100% (about 60 Hz … 4 kHz), Init 50% (about 490 Hz)

Sets the filter position on an exponential scale.

Resonance — 0 … 100%, Init 0%

Sets filter feedback. Self-oscillation begins at about 87%.

Env mod — 8 … 100% (0.4 … 5 octaves), Init 8%

Sets how far the envelope opens the filter. The 8% minimum keeps the small fixed sweep found in the original circuit.

Decay — 0 … 100% (200 ms … 2.00 s), Init 32% (about 420 ms)

Sets the filter envelope decay. Accented notes use Accent decay instead.

Accent

Accent raises the level, shortens the filter envelope, and adds another filter sweep. Its charge carries between notes, so repeated accents can grow brighter.

Accent — 0 … 100% (0 … 4 octaves), Init 0%

Sets the strength of accented notes. A note must also have Accent note switched on.

Accent note — Off or On, Init Off

Marks the current note as accented. This is designed for per-step automation.

Slide

Slide — Off or On, Init Off

Adds pitch glide to the current note. Use a tied note in the host to keep the gate open and avoid restarting the envelopes.

Slide time under Advanced changes the glide speed.

Output

Volume — −60.0 … 0.0 dB, Init −6.0 dB

Sets the output level.

There is no built-in distortion. Add an effect after the synth if you want that sound.

Advanced

These controls open on the original fixed values, so simply expanding the section does not change the patch.

Slide time — 5 … 500 ms, Init 60 ms

Sets the pitch-glide time.

Amp attack — 0 … 500 ms, Init 3 ms

Sets the amplitude attack. The short Init value mainly prevents clicks.

Amp decay — 30 ms … 10.00 s, Init 3.00 s

Sets the amplitude decay. Short values turn the normally flat note into a pluck.

Filter attack — 0 … 500 ms, Init 3 ms

Sets the filter attack. Raise it for a slower swell.

Accent decay — 20 ms … 2.00 s, Init 200 ms

Sets the filter decay used by accented notes.

Accent sweep — 0.15 … 4.00×, Init 1.00×

Changes how quickly repeated accents build and how long their charge takes to fade.

Drive — 0.5 … 24.0×, Init 6.0×

Sets how hard the oscillator hits the filter. This is part of the filter model, not a separate distortion effect.

Filter model — Diode (1) or Diode (3), Init Diode (1)

Chooses the diode-ladder configuration.
