Tone Atlas Beta

Fender Model Guide

A powerful three-oscillator polyphonic synthesizer capable of producing everything from deep bass textures to richly layered synth pads. Extensive filtering, modulation and freeze functions provide a wide range of expressive sound-design possibilities.

• PRESET Selects from a list of factory presets designed by Fender specifically for this synth. Any preset modified by the user will revert to showing “Custom” in the preset list.
• ATTACK Adjusts attack time of synth notes. Set to 0 for plucky transients; turn up to engage swell on note onsets.
• CUTOFF Adjusts cutoff frequency of the synth’s internal lowpass filter.
• RES Adjusts resonance or Q-factor of the synth’s internal lowpass filter.
• ENV Sets depth that filter cutoff will increase due to the energy envelope of the guitar signal. Set Cutoff to a low value to make the envelope action more obvious.
• SENS Sets sensitivity of the energy envelope tracking. Higher values will cause filter cutoff to move more responsively to the input. Lower values will have less movement of the filter cutoff.
• WAVE 1 Selects oscillator 1 waveform shape.
• W1 LEVEL Adjusts oscillator 1 waveform level.
• W1 PITCH Adjusts oscillator 1 waveform pitch.
• WAVE 2 Selects oscillator 2 waveform shape.
• W2 LEVEL Adjusts oscillator 2 waveform level.
• W2 PITCH Adjusts oscillator 2 waveform pitch.
• WAVE 3 Selects oscillator 3 waveform shape.
• W3 LEVEL Adjusts oscillator 3 waveform level.
• W3 PITCH Adjusts oscillator 3 waveform pitch.
• FREEZE MODE Select operation mode for synth freeze functionality. Refer to Arctic/Antarctic Sustainer guide for more info on how to use this feature (pages 95-96).
• FREEZE Engages freeze functionality to capture current synth signal and sustain indefinitely (works differently in different modes).
• GLISS Adjusts pitch slide time between frozen synth sounds.
• FILTER LFO SHAPE Selects low-frequency oscillator waveform shape used to modulate lowpass filter cutoff.
• F LFO DEPTH Adjusts modulation depth applied by filter LFO.
• F LFO RATE Adjusts speed in Hertz of filter LFO.
• F LFO TAP DIV Adjusts note division applied to filter LFO rate. This syncs to the BPM setting of the TMP.
• SPREAD Adjusts stereo field spread of synth output.
• MIX Controls blend between guitar and synth signals.
• PITCH LFO SHAPE Selects low-frequency oscillator waveform shape used to modulate pitch of the synth’s oscillators.
• P LFO DEPTH Adjusts modulation depth applied by pitch LFO.
• P LFO RATE Adjusts speed in Hertz of pitch LFO.
• P LFO TAP DIV Adjusts note division applied to pitch LFO rate. This syncs to the BPM setting of the TMP.
• DETUNE Adjusts amount of pitch detune applied to the synth’s oscillators. When more than one oscillator is active, this creates a classic synth chorus effect.
• PITCH WHEEL Provides a control for manually sweeping pitch by an octave both upward and downward. TIP: Connect an expression pedal to this control for on-the-fly synth pitch bends.
• VOLUME LFO SHAPE Selects low-frequency oscillator waveform shape used to modulate synth volume.
• V LFO DEPTH Controls modulation depth applied by volume LFO.
• V LFO RATE Manually adjusts speed in Hertz of volume LFO.
• V LFO TAP DIV Adjusts note division applied to volume LFO rate. This syncs to the BPM setting of the TMP.
• VOLUME Adjusts synth master volume.
