OCILLATOR
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.
Hint: Use the ‘Simple’ modes where possible if polyphony is a concern - they eat a lot less DSP power than
the ‘Complex’ modes!
Oscillator 1 (Complex Formant Table Oscillator)
Similar to the Simple version, the Complex Formant Table oscillator keeps the formants at a xed pitch as
you play up and down the keys. It also introduces the additional parameters found in the Complex Grain
oscillator.
Mode •
Classic, HyperSaw, WaveTable etc.: Selects the basic type of oscillator.
Index •
Determines the playback position within the currently selected Wavetable. Each of the 128 available values
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.
This parameter can be modulated via the Mod Matrix and the LFO’s - please select Wavetable 1/2 Index
from the list of available destinations
Please note that Table 0 (Sine) contains only a sine wave, and as such, the Index parameter will have no ef-
fect on it.
Wavetable •
Selects the current Wavetable - each being a unique collection of different waves from which all manner of
different timbres may be achieved.
Formant Shift •
Use this parameter to sweep the pitch of the formants in the wavetable by +/- 64 semitones. The effect is
reminiscent of oscillator ‘sync’, and can be useful for both extreme lead sounds, as well as subtle timbral
variations.
