10 

of the two sound sources (usually the 2 VCOs) to get a good effect.

Sync source choices are;

VCO1 square wave
LFO square wave
EXTernal signal
Off (fl at line symbol)

 PWM

Two independent pulse width modulation controls (PWM), one for each VCO. This 

allows modulation of the square wave 'duty cycle'. Once again, don't worry about this 
technically, just enjoy the effect!.

Turn to the left for LFO triangle wave modulation.
Turn to the right for Envelope 2 modulation.
Centre is zero (no modulation).

For VCO1, it is best to fi rst put the Pulse Width control to the centre before using 

PWM, otherwise the sound might cut (unless that is the effect you want!)

NOISE GENERATOR

The noise generator produces white noise. This is like the hiss you hear between radio 

stations. The signal is available for fi ltering via the EXT/NOISE mixer control.

Noise would be used for sound effects such as breath, wind, percussion, etc.
