Waveform List
Display Full name Notes
SIN
Sine Generates a sine wave. This is the basic waveform used in FM synthesizers, as it
contains a fundamental tone but no overtones.
SIN 12BIT
Sine 12bit Generates a sine wave with coarse resolution such as that used in old digital
synthesizers.
SIN 8BIT
Sine 8bit Generates a sine wave with even coarser resolution. This is effective for making
sounds with noise.
TRI
Triangle Generates a triangle wave. Unlike the sine wave, this waveform contains
harmonics, but also has a rounder feel than the sawtooth or square wave.
SAW
Saw Generates a sawtooth wave. This waveform is used to create sounds typical of
analog synthesizers, such as synth basses and brass.
SAW HD
Saw HD Generates a sawtooth wave with richer high-end overtones than the normal
sawtooth wave, by using a large amount of CPU power.
SQR
Square Generates a square wave. This waveform is used for electronic and wind instrument
sounds.
SQR HD
Square HD Generates a square wave with richer high-end overtones than the normal square
wave, by using a large amount of CPU power.
ADTV SAW3
Additive Saw3 Generates the first three harmonics of a sawtooth wave.
ADTV SQR3
Additive Sqr3 Generates the first three harmonics of a square wave.
ADTV TRI3
Additive Tri3 Generates the first three harmonics of a triangle wave.
ADTV 12345
Additive 12345 Generates an amplitude equal to the first through fifth harmonics. This is like a
filtered pulse wave.
ADTV 1+2
Additive 1+2 Generates a wave with an amplitude equal to the fundamental tone and second
harmonic. This is like the 8’ and 4’ stops on an organ.
ADTV 1+3
Additive 1+3 Generates an amplitude equal to the fundamental tone and third harmonic. This is
like the 8’ and +2 2/3’ stops on an organ.
ADTV 1+4
Additive 1+4 Generates a wave with an amplitude equal to the fundamental tone and fourth
harmonic. This is like the 8’ and +2’ stops on an organ.
ADTV 1+5
Additive 1+5 Generates an amplitude equal to the fundamental tone and fifth harmonic. This is
like the 8’ and +1 3/5’ stops on an organ.
ADTV 1+6
Additive 1+6 Generates a wave with an amplitude equal to the fundamental tone and sixth
harmonic. This is like the 8’ and +1 1/3’ stops on an organ.
ADTV 1+7
Additive 1+7 Generates an amplitude equal to the fundamental tone and seventh harmonic.
ADTV 1+8
Additive 1+8 Generates a wave with an amplitude equal to the fundamental tone and eighth
harmonic.
This is like the 8’ and +1’ stops on an organ.
NOISE S/H
Noise S/H Generates noise with a musical element, by means of a sample hold circuit.
NOISE WHITE
Noise White Generates white noise.
