Note: The Filter Bypass button simply determines the signal flow. It doesn’t turn the
oscillator on or off. Use the oscillator On/Off button for this (see above).
Oscillator 2
To use Oscillator 2, you first need to turn it on. This can be done with the On/Off button
in the lower left corner of the Oscillator 2 section. When active, the button is red.
Note: When you program a drum sound, you can turn the individual sound sources on
or off with the corresponding On/Off buttons. You can also listen to the individual
components of the sound separately this way, and remove them from the patch if
desired (or necessary).
The volume of Oscillator 2 is controlled by the Volume knob on the right edge of the
Oscillator 2 section.
Volume can be modulated by the sources found in the Mod and Via menus. If a Mod
source is activated, the effect it has on Volume is set by the (Mod) ring that surrounds
the knob. If a Via source is activated, its effect can be set by moving the slider that
appears on the Mod ring. Colored areas between the Volume knob and its surrounding
ring clearly show the values of the Mod modulation (blue) and the Via modulation
(green), compared with the mean Volume value (red).
If neither a Mod or Via source is selected (both set to Off), the Mod ring, its slider and
the colored areas remain hidden.
The curved slider to the left of the Volume knob controls the pitch of the oscillator in
half step intervals. If you press Shift, you can adjust the pitch of Oscillator 1 in cent
intervals.
The pitch value is displayed numerically to the left of the slider. You can change the
displayed value by click-holding directly on the value field, and moving the mouse
vertically.
Pitch can be modulated by the sources found in the Mod and Via menus. If sources are
selected, small blue (Mod) and green (Via) sliders appear beside the pitch control. These
allow control over the effect of the Mod and Via modulation routing. The range affected
by parameter modulation is colored blue and green, and runs alongside the pitch slider.
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.
