The included VST Instruments
The pop-up has the following oscillator configurations to
choose between:
Detune
Detunes the oscillators (in all oscillator modes except
“1Osc”). Low values will give gentle chorus-like detuning;
raising the control will detune the oscillators by several
semitones for clangorous special effects.
Raster
This parameter reduces the number of harmonics present
in the oscillator waveforms in the following manner:
Portamento
This parameter makes the pitch glide between the notes
you play. The parameter setting determines the time it
takes for the pitch to glide from one note to the next. Turn
the knob clockwise for longer glide time.
The “Mode” switch allows you to apply glide only when
you play a legato note (when switch is set to Legato). Le-
gato is when you play a note without releasing the previ-
ously played note. Note that Legato mode only works with
monophonic Parts.
Spectrum filter section
This is where you create the contours (frequency re-
sponse characteristics) for the two 128 pole resonant
spectrum filters “A” and “B”.
• You can use the Preset pop-up menu to select a preset
contour if you like.
• To change the contour, click and “draw” with the mouse.
Once you change the selected contour, it will be labeled as “Custom” in
the Preset field above the display, indicating that you’re no longer using
one of the presets.
• If you want to random calculate a spectrum filter curve,
you can choose the Randomize function from the Preset
pop-up.
Each time you choose this function, a new randomized spectrum will ap-
pear.
Cut I and II
These work much like cutoff frequency controls on a con-
ventional filter: With the Cut controls at the maximum set-
ting, the full frequency range will be used for the spectrum
filter; lowering the Cut controls will gradually move the en-
tire contour down in frequency, “closing” the filter. Please
note the following:
• If a 2 oscillator configuration is used, you can set differ-
ent “cutoffs” for the two oscillators with Cut I and Cut II,
respectively. Similarly, if more than two oscillators are
used, they are internally divided in two groups, for which
you can set independent “cutoffs” with Cut I and II.
For example, in the “6 Osc” modes Cut I affects the sound of oscillators
1, 3 and 5 while Cut II affects the sound of oscillators 2, 4 and 6. In the
“1 Osc” mode, the Cut II control is not used.
• If the Spectrum Sync (link symbol) button between the
Cut controls is activated, the two knobs are synced and
will follow each other and be set to the same value.
Option Description
6 Osc 6 oscillators with the same pitch.
6 Osc 1:2 3 oscillators with base pitch and 3 pitched one octave down.
6 Osc 1:2:3 Three groups of two oscillators with the pitch ratio 1:2:3 (2
oscillators with base pitch, 2 oscillators at half the frequency
of the base pitch and 2 oscillators at a third of the frequency).
6 Osc
1:2:3:4:5:6
6 oscillators tuned with the pitch ratio 1:2:3:4:5:6 (known as
the “subharmonic series”).
4 Osc 1:2 2 oscillators with base pitch and 2 pitched one octave down.
3 Osc 3 oscillators with the same pitch.
2 Osc 2 oscillators with the same pitch.
2 Osc 1:2 One oscillator with base pitch and one pitched one octave
down.
1 Osc A single oscillator. In this mode, the Detune and Cut II pa-
rameters are not active.
Setting Description
0 All harmonics present.
1 Only every second harmonic present.
2 Only every third harmonic present.
……and so on.
