The indicator in the [OSCILLATOR] button will light and the main display will now alternate between the first function
and its current value, as shown below:
There are 4 functions in the oscillator menu with multiple settings as detailed in the following paragraphs.
This function allows you to select the oscillator pitch modulation source. The
selections are:
The output of envelope 1 will modulate the oscillator pitch.
The output of envelope 2 will modulate the oscillator pitch.
The output of LFO1 will modulate the oscillator pitch.
The output of LFO2 will modulate the oscillator pitch.
This function allows you to select the oscillator pulse width modulation source.
The selections are:
The output of envelope 1 will modulate the oscillator pulse width.
The output of envelope 2 will modulate the oscillator pulse width.
The output of LFO1 will modulate the oscillator pulse width.
The output of LFO2 will modulate the oscillator pulse width.
This function allows you to select the sound source for OSCILLATOR 2. The selections are:
This oscillator contains the full range of frequencies.
This oscillator is formed from a limited band of frequencies.
This oscillator is based on a pure sine wave.
PINK noise has the higher frequencies reduced.
WHITE noise and has all frequencies at an equal level.
BLUE noise has the lower frequencies reduced.
You can switch off all the internal sound generators for oscillator 2 and instead use the rear
panel connectors marked [EXTERNAL INPUTS 1 - 2] to process any MIDI driven external sound source through the
filter and envelope sections. See page 35 for further details.
This function synchronises oscillator 2 with oscillator 1. The oscillator 2 waveform will now
restart its cycle each time oscillator 1 starts its own cycle. The result of this keeps the pitch of both oscillators
identical making a distinct change to the timbre. For the best results use envelope 2 to try and move the pitch of
oscillator 2. The pitch cannot change but you will hear timbral changes to the sound with vocal characteristics.
The selections are:
The waveforms of oscillators 1 & 2 will be free-running
The waveforms of oscillators 1 & 2 will be synchronised
