microKORG XL
22
Carrier (CARRIER)
The most suitable choice as a carrier is a waveform that contains large
numbers of overtones, such as a sawtooth wave or pulse wave. The output
of timbres 1 and 2 is mixed and used as the carrier.
Modulator (MODULATOR)
A human voice is typically used as the modulator, but you can also obtain
unique results by using rhythm sounds or another type of waveform. The
microKORG XL allows you to select either an external input such as mic or
rhythm (AUDIO IN) or timbre 2 as the modulator. If you’ve selected timbre
2, the output of the timbre 2 EQ will be input to the modulator.
2. Basic editing procedure
There are two ways to edit sounds on the microKORG XL.
• You can select a program that’s close to the sound you want, and create
the desir
ed program by making the necessary changes.
• You can start editing the program from scratch (an initialized state).
Choose a method, and get started creating and playing your own sounds!
