Re: Quiet here - Panning and Modulation

2003-03-30 by ski_ex5tech

You CAN pan with modulation.  It's destination #25 on the "Modulation 
Destinations" list in the owners manual.

Also, you don't have to sync two pairs of oscillators in order to 
effectively get a centered sound.  Just program two oscillators 
exactly the same, and they will be close enough.  You can even detune 
them a little, and the image will still sound fairly centered.
