12.1.1 Oscillators:
Three oscillators are available. The first one
outputs a sine wave and a saw wave, with
independent level. The Shape knob allows changes
to the sine waveform, and to add a new pulse to the
saw wave.
The second oscillator provides a square wave and a
triangle wave; both with independent level control.
The Shape knob changes the pulse width of the
square wave, and the symmetry of the triangle
waveform.
The third oscillator outputs the same waveforms as
the second, but two octaves lower, so it can be used
as an LFO.
The pitch of the oscillator is set by the internal knob
for fine-tuning (from -12 to +12 semi-tones), or by
the external ring for the octave range.
The XILS 4 also provides the ability to hard
synchronize osc2 to osc1, and also osc3 to either
osc2 or osc 1.
Please Note: The pitch control for an oscillator must be connected.
This connection is created in the advanced 15x15 matrix. Putting a pin between the Keyboard follow (1 or
2) and the Oscillator Frequency modulation will do the trick. To tune the oscillators according to the
standard midi notes, the keyboard follow level (in the Keyboard control panel) must be set to 0.5 and
the value of the pin must be set at maximum.
Shape: This knob sets the shape of the sine, square, ramp or triangle waveforms. For the sine wave, it
adds odd harmonics. For the square waves, it modifies the impulse width. For the ramp wave, it adds a
second front, and for the triangle wave, it modifies the raising front or leading edge.
