Oscillators
The two oscillators are arranged horizontally in the middle of the panel.
LED
The LED quickly lets you know if the oscillator output is on or off.
Frequency Range
The Frequency Range Switch selects whether the oscillator is high or low frequency. When it is
set to high frequency, octave 4’ matches the keyboard notes as usual. When it is set to low
frequency, the pitch is six octaves below what it would be in the high frequency setting.
Frequency
The Frequency knob adjusts the pitch of the oscillator. The knob adjusts the pitch in the range
of -7 to +7 semitones away from the true pitch. When fine frequency adjustment is enabled in
the programmer, the knob adjusts the pitch in the range of -0.7 to +0.7 semitones. The fine
adjustments are useful for subtly fattening the sound of a patch.
Octave
The Octave selector sets the octave of the oscillator. Note that the octave labeled 4’ directly
matches the keyboard pitch.
Wave
The Wave knob adjusts the waveform of the oscillator. The waveform changes from triangle to
saw to square to PWM as the knob is swept from left to right. A triangle is useful as a mellow
sound, a saw as a bright and buzzy sound, a square as a hollow digital sound, and a PWM as a
thin grainy sound. Since the knob is continuously variable, the in-between sounds offer many
possibilities.
