How to paste ARGON loop to BeatMaker

Oscillator1

Waveform

Oscillator have five waveform shapes: sawtooth, square, triangle(from sine), sine, noise, formant.And LFO(Low Frequency Oscillator), ENV(Envelope) knobs are included each parameter.(White Knobs)

Wave Shape

Shape knob modifies Waveform Shape Which applied the Waveform type you selected.

Pitch

Octave

• Octave knob Shifts octave of the pitch.

FM(Osc2 > 1)

This knob let the output waveform of oscillator2 to modulates the phase of oscillator 1.

Depth

• Depth knob adjusts the depth of FM(Frequency Modulation).

Level

Level knob modulates OSC1 of the output level.

Oscillator2

OSC1 > 2

SYNC

• If SYNC Button is On, this synchronize OSC2 to the phase of OSC1. Using difference of OSC1 and 2, AM generates metallic sound.

*AM(Amplitude Modulation) is known as Ring Modulation.

FM(Osc3 > 2)

This knob let the output waveform of oscillator3 to modulates the phase of oscillator 2.

Depth

• Depth knob adjusts the depth of FM(Frequency Modulation)

Oscillator3&Modulation

LFO

Speed

• Speed Knob adjusts the LFO speed.

Delay

• Delay Knob sets the time from note-on.

SYNC

Key

• If Key Button is on, the Waveform will be start from the beginning at note-on.

Tempo

• If Tempo Button is on, the LFO speed will synchronize to the tempo.

Filter

Filter

Type

• You can select 6 Filter types.

Cutoff

• Cutoff Knob modulates cutoff frequency.

Reso(Resonance)

• Reso Knob modulates the resonance.

KEY

• KEY Knob adjusts the amount of keyboard tracking that will be applied to the cutoff frequency.

LFO

• LFO Knob adjusts modulate LFO of the cutoff frequency.

ENV

• ENV Knob adjusts modulate ENV of the cutoff frequency.

AMP

PreAMP LFO

• This Knob adjusts Amp Level before drive applied.

Drive

Gain

• Gain Knob boost the sound.

EQ

• Each Knobs(Bass, Middle, Treble) in EQ adjust the tonal balance.

AMP Level

• Level Knob adjusts Amp Level after drive applied.

Pan

Pan

• Pan Knob adjusts the stereo position(L/R).

LFO

• LFO Knob adjusts LFO of the Pan.

LFO

Speed

• Speed Knob adjusts the LFO speed.

Delay

• Delay Knob sets the time from note-on.

SYNC

Key

• If Key Button is on, the waveform will be start from the beginning at note-on.

Tempo

• Tempo Button synchronize LFO speed to the Tempo.

ENV

• ENV Knob adjusts modulate ENV of the cutoff frequency.

Delay

Time Range

• This knob adjust delay time(0.1 - 2000ms, TempoSYNC)

CopyL>R

• This button copy Left settings to Right.

Left, Right

Time

• Time knob adjust delay time. (Left, Right)

Feedback

• Feedback Knob adjust the amount of Feedback.

CrossFb

• CrossFb(Cross-Feed-Back) knob cross over between the left and right.(Refer to Delay Block Diagram)

Modulation

• Modulation includes Depth, Speed, Spread knobs. You can adjust depth, speed, spread.

Dry/Wet

• You can set the balance between the effect and dry sounds.

Delay Block Diagram

Step Sequencer

Instead of drawing notes, You can compose patterns.

1. SEQ. Switch ON
2. Draw notes
3. Press keyboard

SYNC keyboard button

SYNC keyboard button synchronize to the Keyboard.

• If this is on, the data stored in the Step Sequencer will always play From the beginning.
• You can save your pattern to the pattern bank(Max 8patterns)

Copy, Paste button

• You can copy your loop and paste another Pattern bank.
