OSCILLATOR PARAMETERS (MAIN MODE)
24 | OSCILLATORS OSC 1-4
Figure 25. Oscillators Panel
Solaris has four oscillators, as well as several special
sound sources including Rotors, AM and Vector Synthesis.
Oscillators Osc 1-4
Osc1-4 represent 4 “slots”, each of which supports a variety
of different oscillator types. Table 2 lists the oscillator types
available for each of Solaris’s 4 oscillators.
OFF
The oscillator slot is empty
MM1
MultiMode oscillator supporting a wide range
of common waveforms, as well as 2 morphing
waveforms (sine to saw and sine to square) and a
special “stacked” sawtooth waveform, called Jaws.
WT
Wavetable oscillator using the same wavetables
as the Waldorf microwave. Contains 63 waveta-
bles each with 64 sweepable waveshapes.
CEM
Based on the Curtis Electromusic oscillators found
in classic Sequential Circuits analog synthesizers.
Capable of generating single waveforms, or any
combination of Saw, Triangle and Pulse wave-
forms.
WAV
Sample playback oscillators that plays files loaded
from a CompactFlash card.
VS
Based on the Prophet VS, containing 94 single-
cycle waveshapes.
Mini
Based on the Minimoog, supporting the same 6
single and combination waveforms.

Oscillator Parameters (Main
Mode)
Oscillator
Main
mode is active when the LED next to the
Main label is lit.
Main
mode loads the Oscillator’s panel
with the parameters associated with the type of oscillator
Oscillators
loaded into the active oscillator slot, as indicated by the
LED above the oscillator selection buttons. The parameters
associated with Osc 1-4 are displayed in the Oscillator text
display, grouped into 2 pages which can be accessed by
pressing the up/down arrows to the left of the text display,
as shown in Figure 25. The parameters displayed in the
text display will vary, based upon the type of oscillator
selected.

Figure 26. Oscillator Main Mode, page 1
Figure 26 shows page 1 of the Multimode oscillator’s
parameters. The actual parameters and their values var-
ies across the oscillator types. This section describes the
parameters at a high level. For a detailed description of the
parameters and values available for each oscillator type,
please refer to “Appendix 1- Oscillator Parameters” on
page 48.
Type
This control allows you to select which type of oscillator oc-
cupies the currently active oscillator slot (Osc 1-4).
Wave
Determines the waveform generated by the oscillator.
Shape
For variable-shape waveforms, such as Pulse and Morph-
Saw, this control determines the shape of the waveform
across its continuum. For a Pulse wave, for example, 0%
and 100% will actually make no sound at all, while 50% will
generate a perfect square wave.
Coarse
Coarse tuning of the oscillator, from -60 to +60 semitones.
Fine
Fine tuning of the oscillator, over a range of -100 to +100,
which represents 1 semitone.

The three buttons shown in Figure 27 provide special
control over the frequency of the selected oscillator. Clock
