 MODULATION SOURCE rotary switch

This selects the modulation source for either PWM or FM and is routed to the control 

above.

The source options are;

EG1 

 

 

 

for pitch sweeps. Good for percussion sounds

EXT1 

 

 

 

for sound effects and additional modulation

LFO 

 

 

 

for vibrato and trill effects

VCO2 Square wave   

for frequency modulation effects

Select the source that you want to use to modulate PWM/FM.

 PULSE WIDTH

This control allows manual shaping of the pulse wave output. It alters the pulse width 

(duty cycle) of the pulse wave. In a central position a square wave is produced (50% duty 
cycle). Try this control and listen to how the tone of the waveform changes. When using 
Pulse Width Modulation, it is best to set the Pulse Width control to centre, otherwise the 
sound may cut-out.

VCO2

 FINE TUNE

Controls fine pitch adjustment of VCO2. Use this to tune VCO2 to your other instru-

ments or VCO1.

 TUNE

Controls the course pitch of VCO2. Range is about +/- 2 octaves. Use this to tune 

VCO2 to your other instruments or to shift the VCO pitch up or down an octave compared 
to the VCO1.

 MODULATION

This controls the amount of modulation to either pulse width or pitch from the modula-

tion source selected by the SOURCE switch.

Turn this knob clockwise in increasing amounts to apply pulse width modulation (PWM)
