Oscillators
Sequential
To use an LFO to sweep through the waves in a wavetable:
1. Use the shape knob on Oscillator 3 to select one of the 32 wavetables.
2. In the lfo section, press the lfo 3 button, then the destination button.
3. In the display, choose osc 3 shapemod as the destination.
4. Hold down a note on the keyboard and listen as you set the frequency
and amount of LFO 3 modulation as desired. Higher frequency settings
sweep through the wavetable faster. Higher amount settings sweep
though a wider range of waves in the wavetable.
Oscillator Parameters (Front Panel)
Shape: Selects the waveshape generated by the oscillator. Oscillators 1
and 2 produce triangle, sawtooth, and pulse analog waveshapes. These
waveshapes are continuously variable. Oscillator 3 produces triangle,
sawtooth, super saw, and pulse waves, plus 32 wavetables containing 16
waves each.
Octave: Sets the base frequency of an oscillator over a 5-octave range. The
global master coarse and master fine settings affect the pitch of the
oscillators. See “Global Settings” on page 119 for more information.
Pitch: -700...+699—Fine tune control with a range of 7 semitones (a
major 5th) up or down. The 12 o’clock position is centered.
Shape Mod: On Oscillator 1 and 2, this changes the “pulse” width of the
selected waveform, which modies its harmonic content and timbre. To
generate a square wave when pulse is selected as the waveform, set this
parameter to 0. On Oscillator 3, this knob selects a waveshape within the
currently selected wavetable. If super saw is selected as the waveshape,
shape mod controls the thickness (detuning) of the Super Saw.
Applying waveshape modulation using an LFO or other modulation source in
the mod matrix is a great way to add movement to a sound.
