Fine (±50 cent)
Fine-tunes the oscillator pitch in cent increments (100th of a semitone). This
also affects all oscillators.
Wave Mod (±50)
This parameter is only active if the Wave Mod button is activated beside the
waveform selection box. Wave modulation works by adding a phase-shifted
copy of the oscillator output to itself, which produces waveform variations. For
example if a sawtooth waveform is used, activating WM produces a pulse
waveform. By modulating the WM parameter with for example an LFO, classic
PWM (pulse width modulation) is produced. However, wave modulation can
be applied to any waveform.
Phase button (On/Off)
If phase synchronization is activated, all oscillators restart their waveform
cycles with every note that is played. With Phase deactivated, the oscillators
generate a waveform cycle continuously, which produces slight variations
when playing as each note starts from a random phase in the cycle, adding
warmth to the sound. For bass sounds or drum sounds, it is often required that
the attack of every note sounds the same, therefore, for these purposes
activate phase sync. Phase sync also affects the noise generator.
Tracking button (On/Off)
If Tracking is activated, the oscillator pitch tracks the notes played on the
keyboard. If Tracking is deactivated, the oscillator pitch remains constant,
regardless of the note that is played.
Wave Mod button (On/Off)
Activates/Deactivates wave modulation.
Waveform pop-up menu
Sets the basic waveform for the oscillator.
OSC 2 Parameters
Osc 2 (0–100)
Controls the output level of the oscillator.
Coarse (±48semitones)
Determines the coarse pitch for Osc 2. If FM is enabled, this determines
frequency ratio of the oscillator regarding Osc 1.
Fine (±50 cent)
Fine-tunes the oscillator pitch in cent increments (100th of a semitone). If FM
is activated, this determines the frequency ratio of the oscillator regarding
Osc 1.
