Page 133
Tune:
The tune of the Master can be set between 20.0 and 784 Hz. The Slave ranges from 1 to 6.26
times the Master frequency.
Dcy:
Decay determines the decay time for each oscillator. Range: 0.5 ms to 45 s.
Lev:
With the Level knobs you set the respective volume of the two oscillators.

Here you can filter and affect the noise component of the Drum synth module.
Freq:
With the Freq knob you set the cutoff frequency of the noise. Range: 10 Hz to 15.8 kHz.
Res:
With the Res knob you set the resonance amount around the cutoff frequency.
Swp:
With the Sweep knob you set a sweep range for the cutoff frequency. The setting results in a sweep
from a high cutoff frequency down to the frequency you set with the Freq knob. Range: 0 to 5 octaves.
Dcy:
The Decay knob sets the noise sweep and decay time. Range: 0.5 ms to 45 s.
HP/BP/LP:
Click on the HP, BP or LP button to select filter mode: highpass, bandpass or lowpass.

Bend is a global function for the Master and Slave oscillators.
Amt:
With the Amt knob you set the bend amount, i.e. the frequency range to bend through. The bend-
ing always start from the higher frequency and sweeps down in frequency. Range: 0 to 5 octaves.
Dcy:
With the Dcy knob you set the bend decay time. The bend time can be considered more as a bend
rate, since the actual decay time is determined by the Decay knobs of the two oscillators. Range: 0.5 to
45 s.

Set the color of the noise with the control knob. Colored noise contains less high frequency energy than
white noise. See also

The Master Oscillator doesn’t generate
any audio signal. Instead, it generates a
Pitch control signal which can be used to
control other Oscillator modules on their
Pitch inputs. The combination of the Master Oscillator with a number of other Oscillators makes it pos-
sible to simultaneously tune all connected Oscillators from the Master Oscillator instead of having to tune
each individual connected Oscillator.
