Detune
This target controls the amount of detuning between all three oscillators.
Note: The sensitivity of all the pitch modulation targets described above depends on
the modulation intensity. This sensitivity scaling allows for very delicate vibrati in the
cent range (one cent equals 1/100 semitone), as well as for huge pitch jumps in octave
ranges.
 Modulation intensity from 0 to 8: steps are 1.25 cents.
 Modulation intensity from 8 to 20: steps are 3.33 cents.
 Modulation intensity from 20 to 28: steps are 6.25 cents.
 Modulation intensity from 28 to 36: steps are 12.5 cents.
 Modulation intensity from 36 to 76: steps are 25 cents.
 Modulation intensity from 76 to 100: steps are 100 cents.
This leads to the following rules of thumb for modulation intensity settings.
 Modulation intensity of 8 equals a pitch shift of 10 cents.
 Modulation intensity of 20 equals a pitch shift of 50 cents, or one quarter tone.
 Modulation intensity of 28 equals a pitch shift of 100 cents, or one semitone.
 Modulation intensity of 36 equals a pitch shift of 200 cents, or two semitones.
 Modulation intensity of 76 equals a pitch shift of 1,200 cents, or one octave.
 Modulation intensity of 100 equals a pitch shift of 3,600 cents, or three octaves.
OscWaves
Dependent 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 affects all oscillators simultaneously. The Osc1Wave, Osc2Wave, and
Osc3Wave targets only affect the specified Oscillator. Check out the ensuing
paragraphs to see what wave modulation does in the three oscillators.
For further information on the effects of these modulations, please read “Pulse Width
Modulation” on page 258. Also take a look at “Linear Frequency Modulation” on
page 257, “White and Colored Noise (Oscillator 3 Only)” on page 260, and “Digiwaves”
on page 256.
