OUTPUT PARAMETER REFERENCE
4.1
Shape
Select between various output waveforms. Shaping of the waveforms can be made by altering
the width and slew parameters (if available).
waveforms include;
•
Gate/Pulse
- A Pulse/Square wave. Width controls pulse width.
•
Ratchet x2
- A Pulse wave split into quarters. Width makes more pulses available.
•
Ratchet x4
- A Pulse wave split into eighths. Width makes more pulses available.
•
Triangle
- A Triangle wave. Width controls slew (i,e making it more Saw/Envelope like).
•
Trapezoid
- A Triangle wave with a flat top. Width will effectively morph between a pulse
to triangle.
•
Sine
- A Sine Wave. Width will ’lean’ to either side.
•
Hump
- Half a sine wave / Parabola. Width will ’lean’ waveform to either side.
•
Exp Envelope
- A exponential like envelope. Width controls time.
•
Log Envelope
- A logarithmic like envelope. Width controls time.
•
Classic Random
- A Sample & Hold style random wave. Slew smooths the edges of the
wave.
•
Smooth Random
- A bouncy ’mario hills’ musical kind of random.. Width controls round-
ness.
A full cycle of a waveform covers a single step. If a step is skipped no voltage will be output
(excluding any set offset voltage) or held if the case of a random waveform.
Random waveforms can be looped across a number of beats using the
Loop
parameter. The
actual loop (its random ’seed’) can also be saved for later recall.
