ALM-011 - ‘Akemie’s Castle’

The right half of the control panel provides controls and inputs for each of the the 4

operators. Each operator section is numbered as to match the algorithm diagrams.

Each Operator has 3 Settings;

Wave

The selected waveform used by the operator. There are 8 different waveforms;

Graphically represented they are;

8. logarithmic sawtooth

/Derived Square

7. Square

6. ‘Camel’ Sine

3. ‘Abs’ Sine

4. Pulse Sine

5. Alternating (even) Sine

1. Sine

2. Half-Sine
