Here is the Parameter Reference Chart that came in the manual. This is for single patches only: _______________________________________________________________________________ (EDIT) ---Top Parameter------- Volume : Patch Volume (1-100) | ^ |-x2 Effect(Output)Patch : Mixer No.(1-32) x1 | : |-x3 Submix Ch : Mixer Channel (A-H) | : |-x4 Name 1st : Patch Name (10 Char.) | : | : | :..|-x13 Name 10th | |--( 5 )----------x1 Source Mode : Normal, Twin, or Double | Common ^ |-x2 AM 2>1 : Ring Modulation 2>1 | : |-x3 AM 4>3 : Ring Modulation 4>3 | : |-x4 Poly Mode : Poly or Mono | : |-x5 Bender Range : Pitch Bender Depth | : |-x6 Press Freq : Bend Pitch w/ Pressure | : |-x7 Wheel Assign : VIB, LFO, or VCF | : |-x8 Depth : Wheel Depth | : |-x9 Auto Bend Time : Time of bend from Key On | : |-x10 Depth : Depth of bend from Key On | : |-x11 KS Time : Change Time for Key Pos. | :..|-x12 Vel Depth : Change Velocity Depth | |--( 13 )----------x1 Vibrato Shape : Tri, Saw, Sqr, Random | LFO ^ |-x2 Speed : Vibrato speed | : |-x3 Depth : Vibrato Depth | : |-x4 Press Depth : Depth due to Pressure | : |-x5 LFO Shape : Tri, Saw, Sqr, Random | : |-x6 Speed : LFO speed | : |-x7 Delay : Modulation Delay | : |-x8 Depth : Modulation Depth | :..|-x9 Press Depth : Depth due to Pressure | |--( 6 )----------x1 Delay : Time for each source | S-Common ^ |-x2 Vel Curve : Curve for each source | :..|-x3 KS Curve : Curve for each source | |--( 14 )----------x1 Wave : Wave selection | DCO ^ |-x2 Key Track : Keyboard pitch On/Off | : |-x3 Coarse : Change Pitch | : |-x4 Fine : Fine Tune Pitch | : |-x5 Fixed Key : Note played when (x2-Off) | : |-x6 Press : On/Off (for each source) | :..|-x7 VIB/A.Bend : On/Off (for each source) | |--( 7 )----------x1 Level : Source Volume | DCA ^ |-x2 Attack : DCA Env.(for each source) | : |-x3 Decay : " | : |-x4 Sustain : " | :..|-x5 Release : " | |--( 15 )----------x1 Vel Depth : Change Volume by Velocity | DCA-MOD ^ |-x2 Press Depth : Change Volume by Pressure | : |-x3 KS Depth : Change Volume w/Key Pos. | : |-x4 Time Mod Vel. : Change Attack by Velocity | : |-x5 Rel.

Vel. | :..|-x9 KS : Change Att. & Dec. by Key _______________________________________________________________________________ A couple of things to mention: -There are 256 waves to choose from. 1-96: DC Waves or Single Cycle waves (as we know them) 97-256: PCM Waves or Sampled waves (as we know them) -The K4 has 32 Oscillators but only 16 note polyphony since there is always at least 2 oscillators per note. -In the Common page, there is a choice of three source modes. Normal: sources 1&2 -> filter 1 per note Twin: sources 1&2 -> filter 1 + sources 3&4 -> filter 2 = per note Double: sources 1,2,3,4 -> filter 1 -> filter 2 = per note -Here's the goofy section of this instrument, the Effect (K4) and Output (K4r) Patches. Effect patches tell the singles or the Multi's outputs where to go. There is a total of 32 Output Patches for the instrument and are shared by both the Single Patches and the Multi Patches. Hope this helps, Craig Robinson
