 FM Ratio knob: Sets the ratio between Oscillators 1 and 2, which defines the basic
character of the sound. Even-numbered values (or their multiples) produce harmonic
sounds are produced, while odd-numbered values (or their multiples) produce
inharmonic, metallic sounds.
 An FM Ratio of 1.000 produces results resembling a sawtooth waveform.
 An FM Ratio of 2.000 produces results resembling a square wave with a pulse
width of 50%.
 An FM Ratio of 3.000 produces results resembling a square wave with a pulse
width of 33%.
 FM Int knob: Selects the basic waveform and controls the intensity of FM modulation.
 At a value of 0, the FM tone generator is disabled, and a sawtooth wave is
generated instead.
 For values higher than 0, the FM tone generator is activated. Higher values result in
a more complex and brighter sound.
 Coarse Tune value field: Sets the pitch offset of the oscillator in semitones, up to
±2 octaves.
 Fine Tune value field: Sets the pitch offset in cents. The default value is concert pitch A
= 440 Hz. The range is from 425.00 to 455.00 Hz.
The Pitch Quantize, Root/Scale, and Max Track controls, in conjunction with the piano
keys of the onscreen keyboard, control the automatic pitch correction facility (Pitch
Quantize) of the tracking oscillator. Pitch Quantize, in conjunction with the Root/Scale
and Max Track parameters, can be used to constrain the pitch of the tracking oscillator
to a scale or chord. This allows subtle or savage pitch corrections, and can be used
creatively on unpitched material with high harmonic content, such as cymbals and
high-hats. To use pitch quantization, the Strength parameter must be set above a value
of zero, and at least one of the onscreen keyboard keys needs to be activated.
 Pitch Quantize Strength slider: Determines how pronounced the automatic pitch
correction is.
 Pitch Quantize Glide slider: Sets the amount of time the pitch correction takes,
allowing sliding transitions to the quantized pitches.
 Root/Scale Keyboard and pop-up menu: Use together to define the pitch or pitches to
which the tracking oscillator is quantized, as described below:
