Osc 3 Main Page
The Oscillator 3 Main page provides controls for
Oscillator 3, the Sub oscillator, and the Noise
generator.
Oscillator 3 produces waveforms that can serve
as a Modulation source for Filter FM. It features
the classic sawtooth, square, and triangle wave-
forms. In general, its pitch follows that of the
part. There is an Octave control for transposing
it two octaves up or down. Use the Level control
to adjust the volume.
The Sub oscillator generates a square wave that
follows the pitch of Oscillator 3 minus one oc-
tave. The Sub Oscillator Level control is the only
parameter of the Sub oscillator and adjusts its
volume.
The Noise generator provides white noise.
White noise is a combination of equal amounts
of all audio frequencies. In general, white noise
delivers a bright hiss with no pitch information,
and can be used to synthesize non-pitched
sounds (such as drums or wind effects). The
Noise Level control adjusts its level.
Oscillator Type
Selects the wave shape of Oscilla-
tor 3. From the pop-up menu, select Sawtooth,
Square, or Triangle.
Octave
Transposes the pitch of the oscillator up
or down in octaves. The control range is from –2
to +2 octaves.
Level
Sets the volume of Oscillator 3. The con-
trol range is from 0% to 100%.
Sub Oscillator Level
Sets the volume of the Sub
oscillator. The control range is from 0% to
100%.
Noise Level
Sets the volume of the Noise genera-
tor. The control range is from 0% to 100%.
Wave Shapes of Osc 3
Oscillator 3 combines the following sound
sources:
• Oscillator 3
• Sub oscillator
• Noise generator
Osc 3 Mod Page
This page has three destination controls for
modulating Oscillator 3, Sub oscillator, and
Noise generator. The destinations can be ad-
dressed multiple times. Since Oscillator 3 fol-
lows the part’s pitch, no pitch modulation is
possible. You can use the Pitch modulation of
the part instead.

To learn more about modulating the pitch
of a part, see “Pitch/Voice A and
Pitch/Voice B” on page 44.
