We know how the Hoover patch sounds, but how is it made?
| Tone settings | PARAM | Possible values | VALUE | Explanation |
| DCO | DCO RNG | 32', 16', 8', 4' | 32' | Lowest pitch |
| DCO LFO | 0..127 | 00 | No vibrato | |
| DCO ENV | 0..127 | 127 | maximum envelope modulation on the pitch | |
| DCO ENV | Dynamics on/off + Normal or Inverted | D (pos) | normal Env with Velocity sense | |
| DCO AFTR | 0..15 | 09 | high vibrato effect on the aftertouch | |
| DCO BEND | 0..12 | 05 | not much effect from the pitch bender wheel | |
| PULSE | 00, 01, 02, 03 | 03 | 03=PWM | |
| SAWTOOTH | 00..05 | 03 | 03=PWM (yes PWM on the SAW, never seen it before) | |
| SUB | 00..05 | 05 | 05=2 oct lower | |
| SUB LEVL | 00, 01, 02, 03 | 03 | 03=loudest | |
| NOIS LVL | 00, 01, 02, 03 | 01 | 01=soft level | |
| LFO 2 | PW / PWM | 0..127 | 127 | 127=Widest possible Pulse Width Modulation |
| PWM RATE | 0..127 | 102 | High speed of PW-Modulation from second LFO | |
| HPF | HPF FREQ | 00, 01, 02, 03 | 00 | 00=lower frequencies emphasized |
| VCF | VCF FREQ | 0..127 | 77 | a bit cut off |
| VCF RESO | 0..127 | 00 | no resonance | |
| VCF ENV (DEPTH) | 0..127 | 75 | moderate vcf envelope modulation | |
| VCF ENV (MODE) | Inv only, Normal with Dynamics on/off, Dyn only | D (pos) | normal Env with Velocity sense | |
| VCF LFO | 0..127 | 75 | some LFO on the VCF cut off | |
| VCF KYBD | 00..15 | 11 | follow cut off with keyboard | |
| VCF AFTR | 00..15 | 09 | aftertouch controls the cut off freq | |
| VCA | VCA LEVL | 0..127 | 60 | volume no too high, so no distortion |
| VCA ENV | Normal/Gate with Dynamics on/off | D (pos) | velocity controls the volume normally | |
| VCA AFTR | 0..15 | 00 | no aftertouch control of the volume | |
| CHORUS | CHORUS | On/Off | ON | Chorus effect in on |
| CRS RATE | 0..127 | 92 | high Chorus rate effect | |
| LFO | LFO RATE | 0..127 | 39 | LFO speed is moderately low |
| LFO DELY | 0..127 | 64 | and some delay before LFO kicks in | |
| ENV | ENV T1 | 0..127 | 99 | slow attack... |
| ENV L1 | 0..127 | 68 | ...to medium level | |
| ENV T2 | 0..127 | 78 | bit faster... | |
| ENV L2 | 0..127 | 127 | ...to max level | |
| ENV T3 | 0..127 | 75 | just keep... | |
| ENV L3 | 0..127 | 127 | ...at max level | |
| ENV T4 | 0..127 | 92 | slow release to level 0 after key release | |
| ENV KYBD | 0..15 | 09 | envelope is shorter at higher keys | |
