Important: The parameters discussed in this section are available only if the Synthesis In

• FM Ratio field: 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, whereas 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: Determines the intensity of modulation. Higher values result in a more
complex waveform with more overtones.
• At a value of 0, the FM tone generator is disabled, and a sawtooth wave is generated.
• At values above 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.
• Fine Tune value field: Sets the pitch offset in cents.
Tracking Oscillator Pitch Correction Parameters
The tracking oscillator pitch parameters control the automatic pitch correction feature
of the tracking oscillator. They 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.
• Pitch Quantize Strength slider: Determines how pronounced the automatic pitch
correction is.
