Pro 3 User’s Guide
Oscillators
Oscillators
Oscillators generate the raw building blocks of the Pro 3’s sound by
producing waveforms, each of which has its own sound character based
on its harmonic content. The Pro 3 has two analog, voltage-controlled
oscillators and one digital wavetable oscillator.
Oscillators 1 and 2 generate triangle, sawtooth, and pulse waves. You can
vary the “pulse width” of these waveshapes using the shape mod param-
eter. This allows for a variety of different waveshapes and timbres.
Shape Mod
value: 0
Shape Mod
value: 254
Oscillator pulse width (pulse wave)
Oscillator 3, because it’s digital, generates not only triangle, sawtooth,
super saw, and pulse waves but also complex, wavetable-derived wave
shapes.
