Q141 Oscillator Aid
Use the Q141 aid module next to your Q106 oscillator for additional functionality including a soft sync input
with amount control, waveform selector, amplitude adjustment, and inverted outputs.
Tracking Accuracy
Tracking accuracy determines how closely your oscillators track the keyboard. Human hearing is very
sensitive to pitch and some people can discern differences as low as .2%. Tracking is most important on
frequencies from 32hz to 4096hz (7 octaves). We think this is the most important parameter of an oscilla-
tor.
