occurs only on the beat (relative to the current clock divide setting)
regardless of when you press a key on the keyboard.
Oscillators
Oscillators provide the raw building blocks of the Trigon-6’s sound by
producing
waveforms
, each of which has its own inherent sound charac-
ter based on its harmonic content. The Trigon-6 has three oscillators and
a noise generator per voice. Level controls for each of these are located
in the Oscillator section.
Oscillators 1 and 2 are capable of generating triangle, sawtooth, and
variable-width pulse waves. Oscillator 3 is capable of generating triangle,
sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, and variable-width pulse waves. These
waveshapes are selected by pressing the corresponding waveshape
button. Multiple waveshapes can be selected simultaneously for each of
the three oscillators.
The oscillators on the Trigon-6 are extremely stable. To emulate the pleasing
instability of vintage instruments, use the
vintage
parameter to dial in as little or as much
voice-to-voice variation as you like.
