VCA
Here you can adjust the amount of time-varying change (envelope)
for the volume.
LEVEL Adjusts the volume of the patch.
LFO MOD Allows the LFO to modulate the VCA volume
(producing tremolo).
TONE Adjusts the tonal character.
VEL SENS Adjusts the sensitivity with which the volume is
affected by your keyboard dynamics.
ENV-1/ENV-2
Here you can create time-varying change (envelope).
AAttack time
DDecay time
SSustain level
RRelease time
KEY FLW
switch
If key follow is on, ADR becomes longer as you play
lower notes, and ADR becomes shorter as you play
higher notes. This is appropriate when simulating
the sound of decay-type instruments.
VCO-1/VCO-2
Here you can select the waveform that determines the character of
the sound, and specify its pitch.
CROSS
MOD
Modifies the VCO-1 frequency according to the VCO-
2 waveform. Moving the slider upward makes OSC
1 become a more complex sound, allowing you to
create metallic sounds or sound effects.
RANGE Specifies the octave of the oscillator.
WAVE
FORM
Selects the waveform that is the basis of the sound.
(Saw wave), (Asymmetrical pulse wave),
(Triangle wave), (Sine wave), (Square wave),
NOISE
NORMAL/
LOW FREQ
switch
If LOW FREQ is on, VCO-2 operates as an LFO.
In this case, SUB RANGE varies the pitch (frequency),
so the pitch will be the same regardless of which
key you play.
SYNC
switch
This is oscillator sync. It generates a complex
waveform by forcibly resetting VCO-2 to the
beginning of its cycle in synchronization with the
VCO-1 frequency.
SUB RANGE Adjusts the VCO-2 pitch in semitone units.
FINE TUNE Finely adjusts the VCO-2 pitch.
LEVEL
(VCO-1) Adjusts the VCO-1 volume.
LEVEL
(VCO-2) Adjusts the VCO-2 volume.
LFO
Here you can create cyclic change (modulation) in the sound.
RATE Determines the speed of the LFO.
DELAY TIME Specifies the time from when the key is pressed until
the LFO’s amplitude reaches the maximum.
WAVE
FORM
(Sine wave)
(Triangle wave)
(Saw wave)
(Square wave)
RND (1/2) (Random wave)
KEY TRIG
switch
Specifies whether the LFO cycle starts at the
moment you press the key (ON) or is not
synchronized with the key-press (OFF).
TRIG ENV
switch
If this is ON, the envelope starts repeatedly at
intervals of the LFO cycle.
HPF
This is a high-pass filter that passes the high frequencies and cuts
the low frequencies.
CUTOFF
FREQ
Specifies the cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter.
Frequency components below the cutoff frequency
are cut.
VCF
This is a low-pass filter that passes the low frequencies and cuts the
high frequencies.
CUTOFF
FREQ
Specifies the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter.
Frequency components above the cutoff frequency
are cut.
RES
Resonance boosts the sound in the region of the
filter’s cutoff frequency.
Higher settings produce stronger emphasis, creating
a distinctively “synthesizer-like” sound.
SLOPE
switch Selects the slope (steepness) of the low-pass filter.
VEL SENS Adjusts the sensitivity with which the filter envelope
is affected by your keyboard dynamics.
ENV MOD Adjusts the depth to which the cutoff frequency is
controlled by the ENV (envelope).
ENV MOD
switch Selects the envelope that is used for control.
LFO MOD Uses the LFO to vary the cutoff frequency.
KEY FLW
Adjusts the way in which the pitch of the note
affects the cutoff frequency (key follow) when using
the keyboard to control cutoff frequency. Moving
the slider downward causes the cutoff frequency to
fall as you play higher on the keyboard.
VCO MODULATOR
This varies the sound by modulating the VCO.
LFO MOD Adjusts the depth by which LFO modulate the VCO.
ENV MOD Adjusts the depth by which ENV-1 modulate the
VCO.
VCO-1/
VCO-2
Selects the VCO (1, 2, 1+2) that is modulated by LFO
MOD/ENV MOD.
If this is in the center position, both VCOs are
modulated.
PULSE
WIDTH
slider/
switch
When the switch is “MAN” (MANUAL):
Adjusts the value of the pulse width.
When the switch is “LFO”, “E1+”, “E1-”, “E2+”, “E2-”:
Adjusts the modulation depth.

PORTAMENTO/PITCH BEND/MODULATION
PORTAMENTO Adjusts the time over which pitch change occurs when portamento is applied.
TYPE
1: The pitch changes within the time specified in PORTAMENTO, regardless of
the distance between the keys you press.
2: The pitch changes at the speed specified in PORTAMENTO, regardless of the
distance between the keys you press.
LEGATO Applies portamento only when you play legato (i.e., when you press the next
key before releasing the previous key).
BEND RANGE Specifies the amount of pitch bend range.
BEND GAIN Specifies a multiplier for the BEND RANGE, extending the range of change.
1/2 switch These specify whether pitch bend and modulation are enabled for VCO-1 and
VCO-2 respectively.
BEND SENS VCO Specifies the amount of the pitch change produced by pitch bend operations.

SYSTEM-8’s menu item “SYSTEM” 0 “SOUND” 0 “Local Sw” to “SURFACE”.
The internal sound engine of the SYSTEM-8 no longer produces sound; only the JUPITER-8 can
produce sound.
For details, refer to SYSTEM-8 Reference Manual.
