Grains
You can specify the number of grains, from 1 to 8. For example, with a setting of 4, 
you get 4 grains per period of the grain duration.
To hear the effect of this setting, you have to play a new note.
The Mod Page
The Mod page contains the LFO settings in the upper section and the mod wheel, or 
vibrato, settings in the lower section.

LFO Waveform and Shape
Here, you can select the waveform for the LFO:
Freq
Controls the frequency of the modulation, that is, the...

Duration
Controls the modulation depth of the grain duration modulation.
Cutoff
Controls the modulation depth of the filter cutoff modulation.
Mod Wheel Settings
Vib Freq
Controls the frequency of the second LFO that is used for pitch modulation (vibrato).
Vib Depth
Controls the depth of the vibrato modulation.
Position
Controls the influence of the mod wheel on the grain position.
Formant
Controls the influence of the mod wheel on the grain formant.
Duration
Controls the...

Fixed Pitch
Activate this option if you do not want the sample to be transposed over the keyboard. 
When you work with short grain durations and “Duration Key Follow” is activated, the 
pitch of the played key still follows the keyboard, and only the frequency response 
changes.
Pitchbend Up/Down
Here, you can set the range for the modulation that is applied when you move the 
pitchbend wheel.
Glide
You can use this parameter to bend the pitch between two notes that follow each...

Filter Parameters
Filter Shape
The filter shapes are the same as on the Filter subpage, see “Filter Shape” on page 
114.
Cutoff
Controls the cutoff frequency of the filter.
Resonance
This parameter emphasizes the frequencies around the cutoff. At higher resonance 
settings, the filter self-oscillates, which results in a ringing tone.
Distortion
This parameter adds distortion to the signal.
The following distortion types are available:
Env Amount

Trium
Introduction
Trium was designed to create modern and rich sounds. It comes with three oscillators, 
a sub oscillator, a ring modulator, and a noise generator. With the integrated 
arpeggiator and step sequencer, you can create anything from sequencer lines to 
stepped chords.
The oscillators are followed by a multi-mode filter that offers a large number of different 
filter shapes. The filter can be modulated using modulation sources like the keyboard, 
velocity, and LFO, but also by the...

The Sub Page
The parameters for the sub oscillator, the ring modulator, and the noise generator are 
the same as those on the Oscillator subpage, see 
“The Oscillator Section” on page

Voice Parameters
On the right, the Voice parameters are available.
Polyphony
When Mono mode is not active, you can use this parameter to specify how many 
notes can be played simultaneously.
Octave
Here, you can adjust the pitch in octave steps.
Pitchbend Up/Down
Here, you can set the range for...
