ADDITIVE OSC

(Additive oscillator)

The additive oscillator creates a waveform by adding three

oscillators. This is a good way to make organ or bell sounds.

WAVE ............................................

Saw, Squ, Tri, Sin

Selects the basic waveform.

 

OSC EDIT1: OSC2Harm .....................

00.25...32.00

Specifies the pitch of oscillator 2 as a harmonic multiple

of oscillator 1.

 

OSC EDIT2: OSC3Harm .....................

00.25...32.00

Specifies the pitch of oscillator 3 as a harmonic multiple of oscillator 1.

COMB OSC

(Comb oscillator)

This oscillator type contains an internal comb filter, and modifies a basic waveform by passing it through the comb filter to change the tone. By using the LFO to modulate the frequency (OSC EDIT2) of the comb filter, you can create the same result as a flanger effect.

Frequency

WAVE .................................

Saw, Squ, Tri, Sin, Noise

Selects the basic waveform of the oscillator.

OSC EDIT1: Feedback ...................................

0...127

Raises the amount of feedback returned to the comb fil- ter. As the feedback amount increases, the comb filter effect will be applied, boosting the overtones at multiples of the frequency specified by OSC EDIT2.

OSC EDIT2: CombPtch ...................................

0...127

Adjusts the frequency that will be the axis of the comb filter. At a value of 0 this will be the basic pitch; a value of 31 is one octave higher, 63 is two octaves higher, 95 is three octaves higher, and 127 is four octaves higher.

FORMANT OSC (Formant oscillator)

The formant oscillator type can produce a sound reminiscent of a human voice. By moving the formant width (OSC EDIT1) you can change between different vowels.

WAVE ........................................................

--- (none)

OSC EDIT1: Formant .....................................

0...127

Controls the frequency difference between the two formants. This produces a change similar to varying the shape and size of your mouth when producing “vowel” tones.

OSC EDIT2: Offset .....................................

-63...+63

Moves the formant frequency components upward or downward in pitch.

NOISE OSC

(Noise oscillator)

The noise oscillator contains an internal noise generator and filters, allowing you to create a variety of noise sounds. Since the filters resonate to oscillation, you can also use this to create pitched sounds.

WAVE ........................................................

--- (none)

OSC EDIT1: Rate ...........................................

0...127

Adjusts the character of the source noise (the speed of the random cycle). Raising this value will slow the timing at which noise is generated.

OSC EDIT2: Color .....................................

-63...+63

Adjusts the mix balance between the LPF (Low Pass Fil- ter) and HPF (High Pass Filter) that are placed after the noise generator. With a value of -63 only the LPF is heard, and with a value of +63 only the HPF is heard.
