Wave Shapes

There are 16 wave shapes to choose from with this control:

The Wave Shape control allows you to select 8 wave shapes in 

sequence. When the Alternate Waves Switch is set to the left, the 

upper 8 wave forms on the diagram above are available. When set 
to the right, the lower 8 wave forms are available.

The wave shapes, in order, are:

1.

Ramp Up – phase frequency travels from low at the beginning 

of the cycle to high at the end.

2.

Ramp Down – phase frequency travels from high at the 

beginning of the cycle to low at the end. 

3.

Pulse – phase frequency alternates between high and low, 

with no slope between the two.

4.

Triangle – phase frequency travels from low to high and back 

again at a uniform rate.

5.

Sine Wave – phase frequency travels from low to high faster 

at the centre of the wave, and slows at the zenith and nadir of

the wave.
