Oscillators
Sync: Off, On—Turns on oscillator hard sync. When an oscillator is hard
synced, its wave cycle is slaved to another oscillator’s wave cycle and is
forced to reset each time the master oscillator’s wave cycle restarts. This
causes the slaved oscillator to create harmonically complex waveforms
— particularly when the slave oscillator’s pitch is set higher than the
master oscillator’s pitch. See page 110 to learn how to set up a classic
oscillator hard sync sound.

Low Freq: Turns Oscillator 3 into an LFO (low frequency oscillator) so that
it can be used for modulation. Since Oscillator 3 is a wavetable oscillator,
the variety of waveshapes it produces is far greater than LFOs 1-3 and it
can be used to create many interesting modulation effects.
Additional Oscillator Parameters (Display Menus)
Additional oscillator parameters are accessible through the menus in the
main display. To see these menus, adjust any control in oscillators section
of the front panel. The parameters explained below do not appear on the
front panel.

data received via MIDI. When off, the oscillator plays at its base frequency
setting, though its pitch may be affected by modulation from other sources.
