4.1 Edit Menus general usage
The edit controls are always assigned to the selected part.
Encoders can be rotated for direct parameter control or can be pressed to open
further parameter edit menus.
Inside the edit menus you have the following navigation features:
1.) The [PAGE-UP] and [PAGE-DOWN] buttons select different edit
pages of the menu.
2.) If there is a „^“ mark at a parameter, the display encoderbutton allows
for reaching additional parameter pages belonging to that parameter.
3.) The edit menus memorize the last visited pages within an edit menu
even after leaving a menu with the [EXIT]-button. If you enter a menu
the second time, you will always automaticly to the last visited page.
4.) You will notice, that some parameters can be accessed by multiple
edit pages. That avoids sometimes additional button presses if one wants
to edit some parameters together, that have a relation to each other.
Hybrid Synth Edit Menus
Select the Hybrid Synth Part by pressing [SELECT] followed by [NUM]-
Button 12 (Analog Synth). Now the edit section encoders are mapped to the
Hybrid Synth Engine. The Spectralis Hybrid Synth Engine sports four
oscillators, two different analog filters, a fixed filterbank, 10 LFOs and a bunch
of envelope generators. The routing capabilities allow patches that were
formerly only possible on large modular systems.

4.2.1 VCO WAVE Menu
Rotating the „OSC WAVE“ encoder changes the waveforms of all 4 oscillators
at once.
Rotating the „Macro Control“ encoder controls the Timelinearity of the
waveforms and creates pulswidth modulation on rectangles (wave=255).
Holding [SHIFT] and pressing [OSC1 SYNC] synchronises oscillator 1 to
oscillator 2.
Holding [SHIFT] and pressing [RINGMOD] activates the ringmodulation
between oscillator 3 and 4.
Press the „OSC WAVE“ or „Macro Control“ encoderbutton to enter the
Oscillator Wave menu.
1/27:Waveform (0=sin,128=saw,255=rect)
ˆOsc1:255 ˆOsc2:100 ˆOsc3:64 ˆOsc4:63
Encoders 1-4 control the waveform selection for oscillators 1-4.
0=Sine,64=Triangle,128=sawtooth,255=rectangle.
Pressing the display encoder button 1,2,3 or 4 opens the submenu page for
further waveform modifications.
