The oscillators are as follows:
8
“Octaviant”.
This is a timbre that reinforces the first harmonic,
an octave above the fundamental played by the
keyboard.
N
“Nasillard”
This oscillator is a type of pulse wave, and very
nasal sounding.
C
“Creux”
This oscillator is a peak limited triangle wave.
O
“Onde”
This oscillator is a sine wave.
G
“Gambe”
A timbre close to a square wave, intended to
sound like a string instrument.
g
“Petit gambe”
A similar timbre to Gambe, but with less
overtones.
S
“Souffle”
A noise generator, approximately pink noise.
T
“Tutti”
This is a switch that turns on everything
except
the petit Gambe and the Souffle generators.
The combination of these oscillators is the main method of creating a timbre
on the
Ondes Martenot
. There is also a “Brightness” control on the original
instrument, which we’ve included as a dial at the top, labelled
Bright
.
