Oscillators
Sequential
To listen to Oscillator B:
1. Turn down the level of Oscillator A in the Mixer and turn up the level
of Oscillator B.
2. Turn on the triangle wave and listen to its sound. It has a very mellow
sound because it has very few harmonics, unlike the sawtooth and
square waves.
3. Turn on the sawtooth wave and the square wave and notice how the
sound changes.
4. Turn up Oscillator A again in the mixer. Notice how the sound becomes
fuller now that you can hear both oscillators.
5. Experiment with using the fine knob on the Oscillator B to detune the
oscillators in relation to each other. This creates movement and thick-
ness in their combined sound.
6. Try using the frequency knob of Oscillator B to tune Oscillator B to a
interval such as a third, a fth, or a sixth.
To sync Oscillator A to Oscillator B:
• With Oscillator A and B on, press the sync button on Oscillator A, and
rotate its frequency knob while you hold a note.
This is the classic hard sync sound that you’ve probably heard before.
Instead of rotating the pitch knob by hand, you can use Poly Mod to
route the lter envelope to Oscillator A to sweep its pitch and create this
effect each time you play a note. You’ll learn more about Poly Mod on
page 34.
