Oscillator Parameters
Octave:
Sets the base frequency of an oscillator over a 5-octave range. The
global
master
coarse
and
master
fine
settings affect the pitch of the
oscillators. See “Global Settings” on page 10 for more information.
Pitch:
Fine tune control with a range of 7 semitones (a major 5th) up or
down. The 12 o’clock position is detented.
Shape:
Selects the waveshape generated by the oscillator. Oscillators 1
and 2 produce sine, sawtooth, and pulse analog waveshapes. These wave-
shapes are continuously variable
.
In the modulation matrix you can use a modulator such as an LFO
waveshape or one of the Take 5 envelopes to modulate the waveshape
of Oscillator 1 or 2 or both simultaneously, this changes the “pulse”
width of the selected waveform, which modifies its harmonic content and
timbre. To learn more about about how to use modulation, see “Modula-
Sync 2-1:
Off, On
—Turns on oscillator hard sync. When an oscillator is
hard synced, its wave cycle is forced to conform to another oscillator’s
wave cycle and is forced to reset each time the master oscillator’s wave
cycle restarts. This causes the synced oscillator to create harmonically
complex waveforms — particularly when the synced oscillator’s pitch is
set higher than the master oscillator’s pitch. See “Creating a Hard-Sync
Lead” on page 65 to learn how to set up a classic oscillator hard sync
sound.
