Now  you  can  rotate  the  left  encoder 
to  move  same  marker  selection  left 
or right or click the right encoder and 
change the width of the selection.
You can click the left encoder to access 
the  top  menu  and  select  different 
principal  waveform  (pulse  wave  is 

selected  in  the  example  on  the  left).  Repeat  steps  above  until  you  are 
happy with your unique waveform. You can save it to the waveform list – 
see instructions below!

Once you have clear screen, you can 
draw  one  period  of  the  wave  and 
simultaneously listen to the result. To 
do  so,  use  the  left  encoder  to  select 
the  principal  waveform,  you  wish  to 
start with, from the icons above and 
click  to  confirm  selection.  Available 

principal  waveforms  are  pulse,  triangle,  sine,  ramp,  sawtooth  and 
logarithmic sine. Example shows sine waveform selected.

Once  the  waveform  is  selected,  you 
can  start  designing  a  wave.  There’s 
a  marker  on  the  beginning  of  the 
horizontal axis. 
Rotate  the  left  encoder  to  move  the 
marker  right  or  left.  Push  promptly 
and  rotate  the  right  encoder  to  split 

the marker and define width of the selection. Now you have two options:
1) Rotate the left encoder to move selection right or left,
2) Click the right encoder and rotate it CW to draw the positive cycle of 
the sinewave or CCW to draw the negative cycle of the sinewave.

In the wave edit mode you’ll see the 
waveform  and  by  PUSHING  THE  LEFT 
encoder, you’ll access the wave edit 
menu on the top of the screen. Rotate 
the left encoder to access wave edit 
options! 

Editing waveforms is similar 

to  designing  the  new  one  –  please, 

refer  to  procedure  below.  Particularly  interesting  is  wave  editing  via 
managing amplitudes of harmonics.
If you wish to save the waveform after editing choose the far right icon 
and click the encoder to confirm.

The  name  screen  will  appear    and 
you  can  name  the  waveform.  It  will 
be saved as the last in the waveform 
list. See the Waveform and wavetable 
management procedures below.

To 

DRAW  A  NEW  WAVEFORM

load any waveform, select edit mode, 
delete the wave and start design from 
scratch. Or select NEW in the MANAGE 
menu.

Once waveforms are loaded, you can 
just 

PLAY  THEM  BACK

  or 

EDIT

 

them. Rotate left or right encoder to 
select edit icon and click to advance 
to wave edit mode.
