The Ratio parameter is unusual for oscillator sync. Normally the sync operates at a 1:1 ratio: the synced
oscillator conforms to a single cycle of the host waveform, and that’s that. But the Ratio parameter sets
the number of times the oscillator will resync within that single cycle. See the next section for a more
complete explanation.
about ratio
The Ratio parameter is part of what makes the
Hydrasynth voice engine unique. It gives you
control over how many times PWM or Oscillator
Sync happens during a single waveform cycle,
instead of happening only once per cycle as with
other synthesizers. It may help to think of it like
this:
• 1:1 = one process for one cycle of the wave.
• 2:1 = two processes for one cycle of the wave.
So at 2:1 the PWM is happening twice in a cycle
instead of once (the way “normal” PWM does); the
Oscillator Sync is happening twice in the cycle.
The ratio can be as high as 64:1 or as low as
0.250:1. This means that the mutation process
can occur as many as 64 times in the space of one
waveform cycle, or as few as one time in the space
of four waveform cycles.
Window
A Hann window applies a sort of “bell curve” filter
to the Osc Sync source. It rolls off the high and low
input frequencies at ~18dB / octave, which can
help tame any harshness in the output
pulse Width modulation
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) alters the basic
shape of the waveform by shifting its internal
structure over time, making some areas narrower
and others wider. This is usually done to square
waves, but the Hydrasynth Explorer voice engine
can apply PWM to any of its 219 waveforms.
And there’s more! Hydrasynth Explorer takes PWM
in entirely new directions by providing not one,
but *three* types of PWM. Each has the same
parameters (with one exception as noted below),
but the results of each type can be radically
different!
