Sound Parameter
30 Quantum Manual
Spectrum
The spectral envelope of a sound can be controlled inde-
pendently from the pitch. Furthermore, the Wavetable
oscillator can perfectly produce a periodic sound up to
noisy components. The Spectrum parameter transposes
the spectrum of a sound – specifically the spectral envelo-
pe. Negative values move the spectrum down; higher valu-
es move it up. The default setting is
0 , where no transposi-
tion happens. This is the behaviour of classic wavetable
synthesis.
Noisy
This parameter adds a noisy sound character to the
wavetable oscillator. The spectrum is unaffected by the
setting of this parameter.
Position
This parameter defines the start-point of the selected
wavetable. A setting of
0 selects the first wave; the maxi-
mum setting selects the last wave of the wavetable.
FX
Determines the amount of saturation/gain that is added to
the wavetable signal. If set to
0 , no saturation/gain will be
added – the signal will remain clean, in other words. Lower
values will add some harmonics to the signal, resulting in a
warm character. Increasing the value will add more and
more distortion/gain. The result depends on the selected
FX Type ( Off , Reduce, Truncate, Drive , Gain ) which can be
found on the Timbre tab page. Please refer to the corres-
ponding section below.
Travel
Allows cyclic moving through a wavetable. Positive values
allow a forward movement; negative values a backward
movement. Lower values slow down the movement speed;
higher values speed it up. Cyclic means, that a wavetable
starts automatically again from the beginning when the
end is reached. If you don’t want a cyclic modulation, use
the
Position
parameter modulated with an envelope, an
LFO, or any other modulation source. You can also set up
different
Travel Modes . Please refer to the corresponding
section below.
g
Use Travel with a setting of 3 seconds to get an
impression of the diversity of the factory wavetab-
les.
