Oscillator Parameters
MM1 Multimode Oscillator
Parameter Parameter Description Values Description
Main mode, page 1 parameters
Type Type of oscillator MM1 Multimode oscillator
Wave Waveform generated by the oscillator Sine Sine wave
Tri Triangle wave
Ramp Sawtooth with upward ramp
Saw Sawtooth with downward ramp
Pulse P ulse waveform, which produces a square wave when
the Shape parameter is 50%. 0% and 100% Shape
produce no sound.
Noise White noise
S/H Tunable noise
MorphSaw A morphing waveform that starts as a sine wave when
the Shape parameter is 0%, and gradually changes
into a sawtooth waveform when the Shape parameter
reaches 100%.
MorphSquare A morphing waveform that starts as a sine wave when
the Shape parameter is 0%, and gradually changes
into a square waveform when the Shape parameter
reaches 100%.
Jaws A special waveform comprising 7 stacked sawtooth
waves, whose tuning spread is controlled by the Shape
parameter.
Shape For waveforms that have variable
shapes, i.e., pulse, morphing, and
Jaws types of waveforms, this pa-
rameter determines the shape of the
waveform the oscillator will generate.
0% to 100% Note that this parameter doesn’t affect all waveforms.
When the Jaws waveform is selected, the Shape
parameter affects the tuning spread between the 7
stacked sawtooth waves.
Coarse Parameter controls the pitch of the
oscillator, in semitones
-60 to +60
Fine Fine tuning of the oscillator, in percent-
age of one semitone
-100% to 100%

Sync Specifies the master oscillator this
oscillator will be synchronized with
OFF The oscillator is not synced with another oscillator
Gate The oscillator’s waveform phase will be reset with each
note-on event.
Osc 1-Osc 4 The oscillator will be hard synced with the oscillator se-
lected by this parameter. Note that an oscillator cannot
be synchronized to itself.
Phase The phase the slave oscillator will start
from when its cycle is reset by the
master oscillator.
-180° to +180° For this oscillator, only the Sine, Tri, Ramp, Saw, &
Pulse waveforms can be synced.
Glide Exponential glide time for this oscillator 0.0 ms to 20.0
sec
Glide Turns oscillator glide on and off On, Off
