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.
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.
