Unique Properties of Oscillator 2
Oscillator 2 can be switched between three different types of synthesis engines: Phase
Oscillator, Sample, and Model. This can be done by clicking the appropriately labeled
buttons at the lower edge of the Oscillator 2 section.
Phase Oscillator
Oscillator 2’s phase oscillator operates nearly identically to the phase oscillator of
Oscillator 1. The difference is that when in Phase Oscillator mode, Saturation can be
modulated in Oscillator 2 instead of Asymmetry in Oscillator 1. This means that when
both oscillators are in Phase Oscillator mode, they can produce different sounds.
For all other details of Phase Oscillator mode, please see “Phase Oscillator” in the
“Unique Properties of Oscillator 1” section.
Sample
In Sample mode, Oscillator 2 uses an audio file as sound source.
Clicking the arrow in the upper left corner of the waveform display opens a menu, that
allows you to load and unload samples, or to display the loaded sample in the Finder.
The Reverse arrow changes the playback direction of the sample (forwards/backwards).
The two Min/Max (Velocity) horizontal sliders determine the start point of the
sample—dependent on the dynamics of the performance. Min determines the start
point of the sample at the minimum velocity level (velocity = 1), Max at the maximum
level (velocity = 127). If Min and Max are set to the same value, this corresponds to a
static setting of the sample start point.
Both factory Ultrabeat samples and sounds imported from EXS instruments often consist
of different layers that are velocity switched depending on the dynamics of your
performance. The precise sample layer that incoming velocity values switch to is
determined by the small Vel Layer slider on the right. This slider determines which layer
is triggered at the minimal level (velocity = 1). The second small slider on the left
determines which layer sounds at the maximum level (velocity = 127). If you have loaded
a single sample that does not have multiple layers, the Vel Layer slider has no effect.
