Target Comments
OscWaves Depending on the waveforms set in the three
oscillators, this target can be used to modulate:
•
The pulse width of rectangular and pulse waves
•
The amount of frequency modulation (oscillator 1
only)
•
Noise color (oscillator 3 only)
•
The position of the Digiwaves
OscWaves aects all oscillators simultaneously.
For further information about the eects of these
modulations, see Use pulse width modulation in
ES2
on page 38, Use frequency modulation in ES2 on
page 38, Use the ES2 noise generator on page 41, and
Use ES2 Digiwaves
on page 41.
Osc1Wave
Depending on the waveform selected for oscillator 1,
you can control the pulse width of rectangular and
pulse waves, the amount of frequency modulation, or
the position of the Digiwave. In classic FM synthesizers
the amount of FM is controlled in real time by
velocity-sensitive envelope generators. Select one of
the ENVs as the source for such sounds.
Osc2Wave
The same as Osc1Wave, except that oscillator 2 does
not feature FM. Note that pulse width modulation also
works with both the synchronized rectangular and
ring-modulated rectangular waves.
Osc3Wave
Oscillator 3 is the same as Osc1Wave and Osc2Wave
except that it does not feature FM or ring modulation.
Oscillator 3 features noise, the color of which can be
modulated with this parameter.
OscWaveB The transitions between Digiwaves during a
wavetable modulation (where you switch between
dierent Digiwaves) are always smooth. You can use
the OscWaveB target to continuously modulate the
shape of the transitions from smooth to hard. This
target applies to all oscillators.
Osc1WaveB If wavetable modulation is active for a Digiwave
(using the Osc1Wav target), you can use this target to
modulate the shape of the transition. When you are
frequency-modulating oscillator 1, the Osc1WaveB
target oers much higher FM intensities than either
the Osc1 FM or the Osc1Wave targets.
Osc2WaveB The same as above for a Digiwave using the Osc2Wav
target.
Osc3WaveB The same as above for a Digiwave using the Osc3Wav
target.
SineLev1 SineLevl (Sine Level) allows the sine wave level of
oscillator 1 to be modulated. The parameter denes
the level of the rst partial tone of oscillator 1. See
Sine Level enhanced ES2 sounds on page 57.
