Oscillator Section
The oscillators are actually found in the 'Voice Selection panels' (see next chapter).
However, this section has some 'global' setting for the oscillators.
Source Mix
Besides the big stack of oscillators/waves in this synthesizer, there is additional white
noise available as a sound source. This caters to percussion sounds, nature sounds
(water, wind, thunder), and can add some character to oscillator-based sounds when
mixed in subtly.
The 'Source Mix' knob will deliver only oscillator signal when set fully counter
clockwise, and only the noise signal when set fully clockwise. In between you can mix
both signals to the desired mix-ratio.
Pitch Modulation
This part of the oscillator section has the setting for modulating the oscillator pitch
with an LFO (low frequency oscillator). Because the RAGNARÖK synth is aimed at
performance play and much less (or totally not, depending on your view) at
experimental sounds and/or sound-effects, the LFO has only one waveform: sine-
wave. This is the traditional waveform used for vibrato.
LFO:
This sets the amount of LFO signal, which is basically the 'depth' of the vibrato-
effect, also known as the modulation depth. Oscillator modulation depth can be set
from zero (no modulation) to +/- 12 semitones (one full octave up and down).
