control. Drive controls the degree of distortion, ideal for rocking organ sounds. Vibrato
adds an expressive vibrato, Percussion a percussive velocity sound. Bass,
Treble, and Brilliance change the color of the sound. |

changed the sound aesthetic of an entire generation and left a significant mark on the
sound of pop and alternative music alike. FM7 XPRESS includes 64 presets, including
precise bass sounds, crystalline bells, metallic leads, and pulsing pads, plus some
impressive analog-style sounds and pulsing loops.

end. With Attack, Decay, and Release you can turn a punchy bass into a long
string sound by altering the envelope times. FX controls the effects level for the
sounds: depending on the preset you can increase or decrease the chorus, delay, or hall.
The Modulation Wheel lets you dynamically alter the sounds while playing live.
