OSCILLATORS (Continued)
OSCILLATOR 1
OCTAVE
This four-position switch is used to select the fundamental Octave setting
for Oscillator 1. The choices are 32’, 16’, 8’, and 4’.
SYNC
When this button is lit, the phase of Oscillator 2 is hard Sync’d to the phase
of Oscillator 1. This will cause Oscillator 2 to reset at each zero-crossing of
Oscillator 1. This forced synchronization causes the waveform of Oscillator 2 to
take on a more complex wave shape as it works to stay aligned with Oscillator
1. Sync is useful for creating sharp, metallic, and ange-like sounds, while also
ensuring that the pitch of Oscillator 2 stays locked to Oscillator 1.
TIP: Applying modulation to the Frequency of Oscillator 2 is
a great way to enhance the Sync effect.
NOTE: When Sync is on and the Frequency of Oscillator 2
is set higher than that of Oscillator 1, Oscillator 2 will not
be able to complete a full cycle before it is forced to reset,
resulting in little or no output.
WAVEFORM
This four-position knob is used to select the Waveform setting for Oscillator 1.
The choices are Triangle, Saw, Square, and Narrow Pulse.
WAVE OUT
The audio signal coming from this output is determined by the settings of
the Oscillator 1 OCTAVE and WAVEFORM knobs.
