VCO 1 / VCO 2 Blocks
The VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) modules 1 and 2 are where the basic sounds for
the AN200 are generated. In these blocks, you can determine the waveform, its pitch,
and adjust the pulse width settings for the oscillator.
• VCO 1 WAVE
Settings: Available waves depend on the current
When SYNC is off:
Saw,
Saw 2
, Pulse, Mix, Multi Saw
When SYNC is on (set to "VCO 1 Master > Slave" or "VCO 2 > 1"):
Saw, Pulse, Inner1,
Inner2
,
Inner3
, Square,
Noise
• Parameter settings in italics above can only be selected by using the DATA DEC/INC buttons,
or by holding [shift] on the computer keyboard and using the cursor keys.
This determines the waveform for the VCO 1 oscillator.
• The difference between saw/pulse Sync on and Sync off (when Saw or Pulse is selected) is
only a slight nuance in sound which becomes especially distinctive when the
is
set to a value other than 64.
Saw (Sawtooth)
The Saw (sawtooth) wave derives its name from its shape, and is used to create a
trumpet or violin sound. Since it contains all harmonics in the spectrum, it produces a
full, rich sound. When used with the
function, increasing the even harmon-
ics can raise the pitch to a maximum of a full octave.
