ESQ-M - Musician's Manual
----> REED. One cycle from an Alto saxophone wave. With different Programs it can sound like
different Reed Instruments.
----> ORGAN. This Waveform contains the fundamental and four Octaves (2nd, 4th, 8th, 16th and 32nd
harmonics). Instant Pipe Organ. Also good for Bells.

ADDITIVE SYNTHESIS WAVEFORMS
These three Waveforms were created through Digital Additive Synthesis. Each contains the
Fundamental and certain specific harmonics in equal amounts.
SYNTH 1. Contains the fundamental, and every third harmonic-, starting from the 2nd, up to the
26th , in equal amounts:
Harmonics: 1, 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26.
SYNTH 2. Contains the fundamental, and every third harmonic, starting from the 4th, up to the
25th , in equal amounts:
Harmonics: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25.
SYNTH 3. Contains the fundamental, and the prime-numbered harmonics, up to the 23rd, in equal
amounts:
Harmonics: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23.
4) FORMANTS
These five Waveforms were created through a process called Time -Domain Formant-Wave-
Function Synthesis. Each one has a sharp peak in its frequency spectrum - like pushing one band
of a graphic equalizer all the way up. These Waves are multisampled in such a way that the
frequency peak remains relatively constant up and down the keyboard, rather than tracking the pitch
of the note. Each has its peak centered around a different frequency. They tend to have a nasal
quality, and make excellent component waveforms for Vocals, Strings etc.
FORMT 1. Has a frequency peak centered around 750 hz. FORMT 2.
Has a frequency peak centered around 1 khz. FORMT 3. Has a
frequency peak centered around 1.4 khz. FORMT 4. Has a frequency
peak centered around 1.75 khz. FORMT 5. Has a frequency peak
centered around 2.25 khz.
5)
BAND LIMITED WAVEFORMS
These Waveforms are Band Limited - that is, their harmonic content has been restricted along
certain specific lines. They are good for adding controlled harmonics to a sound, or for
combining to achieve various timbres. Some are other Waves with some harmonics pulled out; some
were built "from scratch" to contain only certain harmonics.
PULSE2. Originally a Pulse Wave, like the Pulse Wave above, but with only the first 11
harmonics left in.
SQR 2. Originally a Square Wave, but with only the first 7 harmonics left in.

O C T S . C o n t a i n s , i n e q u a l a m o u n t s , o n l y f o u r h a r m o n i c s - 1 s t , 2 n d , 4 t h , 8 t h .
Fundamental and three Octaves; again, good for Organ sounds.
PRIME. Contains, in equal amounts, only the first five prime-numbered harmonics: 1st, 3rd, 5th,
7th, and 11th.
