Multi Saw produces a typical synthesizer sound on the basis of sawtooth waveforms.
The term "Multi" stands for the possibility to layer multiple waveforms.
Adds an octave lower Sub-Oscillator
Layers multiple sawtooth waveforms for a thicker sound.
Produces a basic synthesizer voice by using square waves. Two square waves with different pitches can be layered to make the sound more complex.
changes pitch of 2nd square wave
change pulse width
Produces voices having two oscillators (OSC1 and OSC2), with OSC2 locked in sync with OSC1. Intense harmonics can be generated by changing the pitch and tone of OSC2, making it possible to create highly distinctive, dazzling sounds.
changes pitch and tone of OSC2
sets pitch change amount
Produces voices by multiplying the signals from two oscillators (OSC1 and OSC2). Metallic-sounding voices with no distinct pitch can be created by changing the pitches of the oscillators.
changes pitch of OSC1
changes pitch of OSC2
Produces voices having two oscillators (OSC1 and OSC2), with the frequency of OSC1 modulated by OSC2. This makes it possible to create voices with intense harmonics such as those of the Yamaha DX7 and other FM synthesizers.

PORTAMENT
The [DEPTH] and [SPEED] sliders control modulation speed and intensity. In addition to typical LFO uses, you can create interesting sound effects using extreme settings. So if you want get back at your motorcycle-driving neighbors, try out the following example! (Some amplification may be required!)
EG/FEG slider determines how much the Envelope affects Amplitude or Filter. The"zero" position (AEG) means the Envelope only affects Amplitude. Asthe slider is moved upwards, the more influence the Envelope has on the Filter. In the middle position the effect on Filter and Amplitude is the same.
The envelope (EG) is set by the ADSR principle (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) with four sliders. Again, the range of values is from 0 to 127.
reface CS is equipped with a resonant low-pass Filter (18 db). The Cutoff slider adjusts the Filter from follow closed (0) to wide open (127) while the Resonance slider adds harmonics at the Cutoff point. The filter can even self-oscillate creating different kinds of synth sound.
The onboard effects processor features five effect types to add depth to your sound.
Use the Type slider to select the desired effect. Depth determines the effect's intensity (also known as "Wet/Dry"). The Phaser and Chorus/Flanger are powered by Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology.
The reface CS Portamento slider has two functions. It controls the typical Portamento effect: switching reface to 8-note polyphonic to 1-note monophonic and controlling Portamento time in monophonic mode.

Reverb
This Effect adds a Distortion matched to the current Voice.
In the "Tremolo" position, this is either a stereo pan effect or tremolo depending on the selected Voice. In the "Wah" position, the effect responds to how hard you play for a super-funky effect. "DEPTH" controls intensity while "RATE" controls the effect speed.
Well-known modulation effects that add depth, thickness and movement to the overall sound.
Two effects with different behavoirs. Digital generates precise repititions while Analog gives a "tape" like experience by changing delay time and pitch in real time.
The last effect in the chain is a classic Reverb. Reverb is a single knob controlling both time and intensity.

Effect
Moving the lever up or down changes the setting between "FAST" (fast rotation), "SLOW" (slow rotation), "STOP" (no rotation), and "OFF" (no effect applied).
This switch toggles between Vibrato/Chorus for different types of modulating effects. The Depth slidercontrols Vibrato and Chorus amount.
Percussion features two footages for different sounds and a Length slider to control percussion decay.
reface YC features a Distortion effect for adding overdrive to the sound along with Reverb for adding "space" and depth to the sound.
