Korg R3 modulation

Post by madmarkmagee » Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:15 pm

Does anyone know what the exact modulation destinations for the LFO's and Envelopes on the R3. Can you modulate the pulse width with the LFO and/or the envelope? Considering buying one but can't seem to find this information anywhere. Thanks for you help.

Ok, Thanks for that... Looks like you can do PWM on OSC 1 but not on 2. I was looking through the manual before but couldn't find the exact reference to PWM. Saying that the answers were there made me study harder, haha. It's a bit confusing, the manual is set out Matrix style, with its own jargon... PWM and other waveform modulation is referred to as the destination "OSC1 Crtl: The 5. OSC page knob [parameter]".

In recent years most Korg manuals seem to have adopted a space-saving approach which can lead to things being easily missed when looking for stuff. Still, saves a few trees probably.

At least they include a hard copy manual. Read some where (not sure if true) that the new Jupiter's didn't even come with a full manual. You had to download the PDF. Though imo a hard copy doesn't seem that wasteful. Unlike a newspaper or something you usually keep it for life haha.
