Triangle
The triangle waveform generates only a few harmonics, spaced at odd
harmonic numbers, which produces a slightly hollow sound.
Sine
The sine wave is the simplest possible waveform, with no harmonics
(overtones). The sine wave produces a neutral, soft timbre.
Formant 1–12
Formant waveforms emphasizes certain frequency bands. Like the human
voice, musical instruments have a fixed set of formants, which give it a unique,
recognizable tonal color or timbre, regardless of pitch.
Vocal 1–7
These are also formant waveforms, but specifically vocal-oriented. Vowel
sounds (A/E/I/O/U) are among the waveforms found in this category.
Partial 1–7
Partials, also called harmonics or overtones, are a series of tones which
accompany the prime tone (fundamental). These waveforms produce intervals
with two or more frequencies heard simultaneously with equal strength.
Reso Pulse 1–12
This waveform category begins with a complex waveform (Reso Pulse 1) that
emphasizes the fundamental frequency (prime). For each consecutive
waveform in this category, the next harmonic in the harmonic series is
emphasized.
Slope 1–12
This waveform category begins with a complex waveform (Slope 1), with
gradually decreasing harmonic complexity the higher the number selected.
Slope 12 produces a sine wave (no harmonics).
Neg Slope 1–9
This category also begins with a complex waveform (NegSlope 1), but with
gradually decreasing low frequency content the higher the number selected.
• To hear the signal generated by the oscillators, the corresponding Osc
controls in the oscillator sections must be set to a suitable value.
OSC 1 Parameters
Oscillator 1 acts as a master oscillator. It determines the base pitch for all three
oscillators.
Osc 1 (0–100)
This controls the output level of the oscillator.
Coarse (±48 semitones)
This determines the base pitch used by all oscillators.
