Triangle and Metalizer
The level of the Triangle wave is controlled by the knob labeled with the
Triangle symbol. Turning it down completely mutes the signals and moving
it up increases the level. Turning the
Metalizer
knob from fully counter-
clockwise to fully clockwise warps the triangle wave’s smooth, flute-like
sound into complex, metallic-sounding waves. The wave warping/folding
can also be controlled using the
METAL
input in the
MOD MATRIX
: it is
normalized to be controlled by the
envelope
, the amount of which can
be adjusted with the
ENV Amt
knob in the envelope section.
The Overtone oscillator
The Overtone oscillator level is controlled with the knob labeled
Overtone
.
Turning it down completely mutes the signal and moving it up increases its
level. The Overtone oscillator is a signal that is created from the main
oscillator but it allows for pitches that are down one octave from the main
or up a 5
th
above the main, creating either a sub-oscillator or second
oscillator tuned up a fifth effect.
This allows you to thicken up the sound greatly. Turning the
SUB>FIFTH
knob allows you to blend from the octave down and 5
th
up sounds. You
can then modulate this control by patching the
LFO
or
ENV
to the
SUB
jack in the
MOD MATRIX
. This will greatly thicken up the sound even
further.
