6—Programming Sounds
Tip: Once you’ve turned the Amplitude Level knob, you can also use the -/No or +/Yes button to set the
oscillator’s volume.
Tip: Envelope 3 is pre-assigned to the oscillator’s level setting, allowing you to program volume changes that
occur over a period of time, and to set the oscillator’s decay time.
Setting an Oscillator’s Stereo Position
To set the position of an oscillator in the stereo field, turn the Amplitude Pan knob. This knob has a
range of - 63, for panning the oscillator far left, to 63, for panning it far right. A value of 0 centers the
oscillator.
Pan
Tip: Once you’ve turned the Amplitude Pan knob, you can also use the -/No or +/Yes button to set the
oscillator’s stereo position.
Effect Bus
Selecting an Oscillator’s Effect Bus
To apply a preset’s insert effect or global reverb to an oscillator, you must first assign the oscillator to the
appropriate effect bus—an effect bus is a conduit through which the oscillator’s sound travels to reach the
preset’s effects. Since global reverb is such a frequently used effect, three effect busses are provided to allow
you to choose the amount of reverb to be applied to the oscillator. There are four possible effect busses overall
from which to choose:
• the insert bus (displayed as “inS”)—Select the insert bus when you intend to apply the preset’s insert effect
to the oscillator.
• global reverb bus 1 (“r1”)—Select the r1 bus to apply a just a touch of global reverb to the oscillator.
• global reverb bus 2 (“r2”)— Select the r2 bus to apply an average amount of global reverb to the oscillator.
• global reverb bus 3 (“r3”)—Select the r3 bus to apply a large amount of global reverb to the oscillator.
• the dry bus (“dry”)—The dry bus actually doesn’t send the oscillator to an effect at all: it sends it to
FIZMO’s outputs un-effected, or “dry.”
Tip: To learn more about FIZMO’s effects, see Page 18.
Note: When you change an oscillator’s effect-bus assignment, the change is not heard until the next played note.
Note: FIZMO’s Effects section provides a Mix knob that you can use to set an insert effect’s wet/dry, or
processed sound/un-processed sound, balance. It also allows you to set an overall global reverb level while
retaining the differences in the relative amounts of reverb being applied by the r1, r2 or r3 effect busses.
To Select an Oscillator’s Effect Bus
1. Tap the Effect Bus Select button until the desired bus is displayed. Once you’ve tapped the Effect
Bus Select button, you can also use the -/No or +/Yes button to assign the oscillator to the desired
bus.
