    •Monologue has an effects section with chorus, phaser, and flanger 
    effects, plus separate delay and overdrive units.
    •Monologue has a X/Y matrix pad for additional realtime modulation 
    with access to all Monologue parameters.
    Osc 1 and 2
    Parameter Description
    Waveform
    (pop-up menu)This is where you select the waveform: Saw, Square and Sub for 
    oscillator 1 and Saw, Square and Triangle for Oscillator 2.
    Coarse Sets the coarse pitch in semitones. The available range is +/- one 
    octave.
    Fine Allows you to fine-tune the pitch in cent increments. The available 
    range is +/- 50 Cents.
    Depth Controls the pitch modulation depth for the mod source defined in 
    the “mod src” field. The available range is +/- one octave.
    Mod Src Defines the pitch modulation source. Available sources are: 
    Modwheel, Aftertouch, Pitchbend, Velocity, LFO and Mod Env.
    PWM (OSC2 only) Controls the pulse width of the square wave. In the center position, 
    pulse width is 50/50. Turning the PWM knob clockwise or counter 
    clockwise creates a positive or negative pulse, respectively.
    Sync (OSC2 only) Activating the sync button synchronizes the pitch of oscillator 2 to 
    the pitch of oscillator 1. When this is active, changing or modulat-
    ing the pitch of oscillator 2 will change the tone and not the pitch. 
    For the typical sync sound, turn osc 1 down in the mix and use osc 
    2 only.

    Mix
    Filter
    Envelope
    Parameter Description
    Osc 1 Sets the pre-filter level for oscillator 1.
    Noise Sets the pre-filter noise level.
    Osc 2 Sets the pre-filter level for oscillator 2.
    Parameter Description
    Mode Sets the filter type. Available filter types are 24 dB Low pass, 18 dB 
    Low pass, 12 dB Low pass, 6 dB Low pass, 12 dB Band pass and 
    12 dB High pass.
    Cutoff Sets the filter cutoff frequency. How this parameter operates is 
    governed by the filter type.
    High Pass Sets the cutoff frequency of the additional high-pass filter.
    Res Changes the resonance of the multi-mode filter. Full resonance 
    puts the filter into self-oscillation.
    Key Track Determines the amount of key tracking applied to the filter cutoff 
    frequency. The available range is 0-100%. A range of 100% tunes 
    the filter cutoff frequency to the keyboards pitch 1:1.
    Mod Src (A+B) Defines the filter modulation source. The available sources are: 
    Modwheel, Aftertouch, Pitchbend, Velocity, LFO, and Mod Env.
    Depth (A+B) Controls the filter modulation depth for the mod source set in the 
    “mod src” field. 
    Parameter Description
    A – (Attack) Sets the attack time.
    D – (Decay) Sets the decay time.
    S – (Sustain) Sets the sustain level.
    R – (Release) Sets the release time.
    Mod Src (A+B) Defines the envelope modulation source. You can select: 
    Modwheel, Aftertouch, Pitchbend, Velocity, LFO and Mod Env.
    Depth (A+B) Controls the envelope modulation depth for the mod source de-
    fined in the “mod src” field.

    LFO
    X/Y Pad
    Effects
    Parameter Description
    Waveform
    (pop-up menu)Here, you can select the waveform for the low frequency oscillator. 
    Available waveforms are: Triangle, Square, Sawtooth, Sample & 
    Hold and Random.
    Rate Adjusts the frequency of the LFO, thus changing the rate of the 
    modulation. Depending on the LFO sync parameter, you can edit 
    the rate in Hertz or in note values. 
    Sync When “Sync” is “on” the LFO speed will be synchronized to the 
    sequencer’s tempo. This also affects the LFO rate format.
    Mod Src Defines the LFO modulation source. Available sources are: 
    Modwheel, Aftertouch, Pitchbend, Velocity, LFO and Mod Env.
    Depth Controls the LFO modulation depth for the mod source defined in 
    the “mod src” field. 
    Parameter Description
    X Par Sets the parameter to be modulated on the x axis of the XY Pad. All 
    of Monologue’s parameters are available as destinations.
    Y Par Sets the parameter to be modulated on the y axis of the XY Pad.
    XY Pad  Use the mouse to control any two of Monologue’s parameters in 
    combination. By moving the mouse horizontally, you can control the 
    x parameter, by moving it vertically, you can control the y parameter. 
    You can also record controller movements as automation data.
    Parameter Description
    FX Type
    (pop-up menu)Selects the effect type for Monologue’s pitch effects. The available 
    types are Chorus, Flanger and Phaser.
    Rate Use this to adjust the rate of the effect modulation.
    Depth Use this to adjust the depth of the effect modulation.
    FBK Controls the feedback of the effect.

    Mix Controls the balance between dry and wet (effect) signal. Set to 0, 
    the effect will be off. Set to 50, the balance between dry and wet 
    signal is 50/50.
    Overdrive Controls the amount of overdrive (distortion) added to the signal. 
    A slight amount of overdrive will create punch and bottom. Higher 
    amounts will add distortion.
    Delay Sets the delay time in musical values. The delay effect is always in 
    sync with the song tempo.
    Spread Controls the stereo spread of the delay signal. If you set this to 0, 
    the delay will be centered mono. Higher amounts of spread will shift 
    the left and right delay channels. If you set this to 100, the delays 
    will “ping-pong” between the left and right channels at an even rate.
    Tone Adds a low pass filter to the delay. Increasing “tone” will make every 
    delay repetition darker in tone.
    FBK Controls the amount of feedback of the delay. High feedback levels 
    will create infinite delays. Use this parameter with caution.
    Mix Controls the balance between dry and wet (effect) signal. Set to 0, 
    the effect will be off. Set to 50, the balance between dry and wet 
    signal is 50/50. Parameter Description

    Master
    Parameter Description
    Glide Mode The available modes are: “held”, “on” and “off”. With “held” se-
    lected, a glide effect only occurs for notes played legato.
    Rate Controls the glide rate – the time it takes for a note to reach its 
    destination pitch.
    PB Range Controls the range of a pitch bend midi controller. Range can be 
    set between 1 and 24 semitones for a total of two octaves.
    Env Trigger When set to “Multi”, each keystroke will re-trigger the envelopes. 
    When set to “single”, legato notes will not retrigger the envelopes, 
    effectively holding the envelopes on the sustain level until all keys 
    are released before a new note is triggered.
    Note Priority Defines which note is played when multiple keys are held. Options 
    are: First, Lowest, Highest, and Last
    Oct Controls the master pitch of Monologue in octave steps. Range is 
    +/- 4 octaves.
    Master Out Controls the master output level that is sent to the VST mixer. Use 
    it to adjust the balance between different presets. Use the VST 
    mixer channel volume to control or automate the Monologue mas-
    ter volume.
    Keyboard Pressing the “keyboard” button will reveal a six octave virtual key-
    board. Pressing the “keyboard” button again will hide the keyboard 
    and display the master section again.
