Appendix A: MACHINE REFERENCE A-3
SUPERWAVE ENSEMBLE
The SuperWave Ensemble machine offers
eight analogue style oscillators, set up with
special controls to create up to four note
chords with only one machine.
PCH2 - Pitch 2
PCH3 - Pitch 3
PCH4 - Pitch 4
WAVE - Waveform
PW - Pulse Width
CHRL - Chorus Level
CHRW- Chorus Width
The Ensemble machine generates one sin-
gle oscillator, single pitch sound with the
default settings. The Pitch 2-4 parameters
(PCH2, PCH3, PCH4), when set to a value
other than OFF, adds an oscillator offset from
the base pitch the number of note steps set.
For example, for PCH2=4, PCH3=7,
PCH4=OFF a major chord is generated. If
C-4 is played, the notes C-4, E-4 and G-4 will
sound.
The Pitch 2-4 can also be set to the exact
octave intervals 6/5, 5/4, 4/3 and 3/2 for cre-
ating Just Intonated (cleaner sounding)
chords.
The Ensemble waveforms are constructed
from two saw tooth oscillators, which can
unite to create a set of waveforms ranging
from saw tooth through square to spikes.
If the Pulse Width (PW) parameter is set to
its center value (0), the Waveform (WAVE)
takes the sound from Saw to Square one
octave below base pitch. Adjusting the Pulse
Width will mutate the sound, giving various
results depending on the Waveform settings.
We suggest you to experiment.
The Ensemble also offers a Chorus with
Chorus Level (CHRL) and Chorus Width
(CHRW) controls for making sweet string
pads.
To change chord inside a pattern, use
parameter locks!
