TUNE 
This is how to adjust the tuning of Oscillator 2 in your synth voice with a range of approx. 1200 cent + or -.
Not only for adjusting the tune to be accurate as compared to DCO-1 but also for offset effects such as 
waveform shaping, and harmonic adjustments. Try tuning your DCO-2 up a 5th from DCO-1 and listen to 
the two part chord. Explore this.

WAVEFORM SELECTION
This is to change the output waveform of the DCO
Select from sine wave, triangle wave, sawtooth wave, asymmetrical pulse wave, square wave, pink noise, 
and white noise.

FINE TUNE
This adjusts the pitch of DCO-2 in a fine tune manner. With a range of + or - 50 cent, it is useful to more 
accurately adjust the tuning for smaller incremental changes (for example shifting a voice flat to correct 
tuning.)

CROSS MODULATION

Sync 1-2

 - This is oscillator sync. It generates a complex waveform by forcibly resetting DCO-2 to the 

beginning of its cycle in sync with DCO-1. Setting 2 increases this effect.

Metal 1-2

 - This produces a metallic sound by using the DCO-2 waveform to modulate the DCO-1       

   frequency. Setting 2 increases this effect.

   

 

Ring

 - This is a ring modulation setting. It generates a complex waveform by multiplying DCO-1 by DCO-2

LFO
Adjusts the depth by which the LFO modulates the DCO in total. This is enabled with the Frequency 
Modulation switches, and the amount is adjusted with this knob.

ENV
Adjusts the depth by which the Envelope modulates the DCO in total. This is enabled with the Frequency 
Modulation switches, and the amount is adjusted with this knob. The shape of the modulation is controlled 
with the actual Envelope section of the JX-03.

POLARITY
This switch selects the polarity of the envelope modulation for the DCO. Positive (up) is a typical ADSR 
envelope response. Negative (down) is an upside down envelope, and can produce unexpected and 
interesting results.

FREQUENCY MODULATION
LFO SWITCH
This allows the LFO to modulate the pitch of DCO-1. It is useful for vibrato and other pitch effects. Turn it 
on, and adjust the LFO shape, rate and speed. Listen to the results. A little creates subtle and natural 
results, where as a lot can create freaky weirdo sounds.

ENV SWITCH
This allows the Envelope to control the pitch of DCO-1. It is useful for sound shaping over time based on 
the wave shape of the envelope. Slow attack will produce a slow rise in pitch. A long release will produce a 
slow pitch change after the key is released. Turn this on and play with the envelope of a sound and listen to 
the changes.
