Bias?

How to do this, that and the other. Share, learn, teach. How did X do that? How can I sound like Y?

The amp control on my JD-800 has sliders for Bias Point and Bias Level.

What do these controls do? I don't have enough paper to print the manual, and its a pain to read a 300 page PDF on a computer monitor.

goto soundonsound.com they have a glossary for such musical terms.

Here, let me make it easier...

BIAS: High frequency signal used in analogue recording to improve the accuracy of the recorded signal and to drive the erase head. Bias is generated by a bias oscillator.

Maybe those controls have something to do with warmth. Meaning you'r probably able to alter the warmth and depth of the sounds.
"Silence" is the solution...

^^Eh, I doubt it. I would think that they control DC bias as a function to correct that some synths create an offset DC after certain patching.

g_worroll: Can you search the PDF? If it's actual text this should be easy. If it's scanned-in pages probably not.
