A/B Blend
[0.00...100.00]
This appears only if Mode is set to
A/B
. It controls the balance between Waves A and B. Use this to combine
characteristics of two different Wavetables (such as a pure-sounding table and a buzzy-sounding one), or the same
Wavetable processed by two different Wavetable Modifiers.
Tip: Fade between modified and original versions of a Wavetable
1. Set Mode to A/B.
2. Select the same Wavetable for both A and B.
3. Make sure that B Offset is set to 0.00.
4. Set Wavetable A Modifier to None.
5. Set Wavetable B Modifier as desired (for instance, Hard Clip).
6. Use A/B Blend to fade between the normal and modified versions.
With
Hard Clip
, this will create a sound similar to a low-pass filter. Try modulating A/B Blend via an Envelope or LFO!
Since Wavetables A and B are phase-locked, you can use this technique to fine-tune the effects of any of the Modifiers.
For example, try using this with any of the
Tilt
,
Boost
, or
Cut
options.
Position
[0.00...100.00]
Wavetables contain up to 64 waveforms. Position sweeps through all of the waveforms in the Wavetable. 0.00 always
selects the first waveform, and 100.00 selects the last waveform. The range between these extremes is divided between
the total number of waveforms in the selected Wavetable, as shown below.
Note that when Mode is set to
A/B
, Wavetables A and B may have different numbers of waveforms. In this case,
Position will divide the range evenly for each Wavetable, just as if they were being used individually. For instance, if
A has four waveforms and B has 23 (see the graphic below), a Position just under
50
will play waveform 2 in A, and
waveform 12 in B.

Envelope (Osc 1/2 Envelope Intensity)
[-100.00...+100.00]
This sets the amount of Position modulation from the Osc 1 Envelope (for Osc 1) or the Osc 2 Envelope (for Osc 2).
Vel-Env
[-100.00...+100.00]
This lets you use velocity to scale the amount of Position modulation from the Osc 1 Envelope (for Osc 1) or the Osc 2
Envelope (for Osc 2).
