rhythms can surprise and even exceed expectations. Always starts with OSC1 and cycles through 2 & 3, “remembering”
notes played: more obvious with longer release times. Faux Prepared mode—each mode a di
ff erent synth ala the
Omega 8—can be expressive, with di ff erent waveforms settings, independent LFO modulation, ENV3 & 4 contouring,
and competing & complimenting Pulse Width movement for starters. Keeping it basic and uniform is e ff ective too.
Paraphonic Mode Shortcut: Press and hold SHIFT (left bottom of C ONTROL section) then press PARA . Edit window will
open with PARA option selected. Paraphonic Mode is a ‘3X NOTE PRIORITY option (LOW, HIGH, PARA , LAST) located at
the bottom of the GLIDE / NOTE PRIORITY PAGE.
SYNC 2, 3
Forces the pitch of OSC2/3 to follow the pitch of OSC1 in hard synchronization, so that OSC2/3 will tune only to the
harmonic frequencies of Oscillator 1. Intermediate frequencies of OSC2/3 will produce almost digital sounding
“metallic” wave shapes and timbres; both Oscillators sharing the same base frequency makes it all possible.
Pulse WIDTH 1, 2, 3
Sets the width of the Square waveform, ranging from wide, square rectangular forms to narrow,
nasally tall skyscraper-like shapes. A classic Square wave dials in at ‘round about a 12 o’clock knob setting, for that
wonderfully warm and yet hollowed-out, rubbery bass tone and Lou-reedy lead.
OSC VOL
1, 2, 3
Sets the mix levels for OSC ’s 1, 2, 3.
Oscillator Volume Shortcut: Press and hold SHIFT (left bottom of C ONTROL
section) then rotate Pulse WIDTH / OSCVOL pot; the LCD display will jump to the AUDIO MIXER page.

💡
Not all green panel shortcuts are created equal—connected to LCD
edit windows—just UTIL (utility) and PARA (paraphonic mode).
💡
Use sync feature in conjunction with Envelopes 3 and 4 assigned to
SWP2, or SP3, for subtle and dramatic harmonic filtering e ff ects.
