PARAMETER REFERENCE MANUAL32
Key Follow •
-64 to +31, Norm, +33 to +63: How much the pitch of oscillator 1 follows the keyboard (i.e. MIDI note
number). Press both VALUE buttons at the same time for normal tuning (Norm).
Balance •
-64 to +63: Adjusts the relative levels of oscillator 1 and oscillator 2 (including FM), whereby -64 is oscilla-
tor 1 only and +63 is oscillator 2 only. Note that this parameter is mirrored in the oscillator 2 menu.
Oscillator 2 (Wavetable PWM Oscillator)
Mode •
Classic, HyperSaw, WaveTable etc.: Selects the basic type of oscillator.
Index •
This determines the playback position within the currently selected Wavetable. Each of the 128 available val-
ues represents either a particular wave or the interpolation of the two nearest waves. Modulating the Index of
a wavetable with an LFO or Envelope will often result in a highly-dynamic variation in the timbre of a sound,
impossible via any other means.
Wavetable •
Selects the current Wavetable - each being a unique collection of different waves from which all manner of
different timbres may be achieved.
PulseWidth •
At zero position, all the even-numbered harmonics are cancelled out, creating a hollow sound similar to a
50% pulse wave - when the value reaches 127, the whole wave is almost entirely cancelled out, resulting in
a much thinner sound.
Detune •
As with traditional PWM, much of the fun comes from modulating the pulsewidth by an LFO, which creates
the characteristic warmth of detuned oscillators - the Detune parameter creates this effect automatically,
with no further modulation assignments.
Interpolation •
Use this parameter to determine how smoothly the different waves are blended you sweep the index param-
eter.
