Oscillators 

 
 

 

Crumar Bassman sound generation is based on two main oscillators 

OSC1

 & 

OSC2 

and a sub-oscillator 

OSC3. 

 
 
 
 
OSC1 

offers 2 waveforms : Sawtooth and Square plus Ring Modulator 1 option 

and Ring Modulator 2 option , selectable with “WAVEFORM” in the “OSC1” 
section ; Control leds will light with every pression of  button.  
 

a)  Sawtooth – led 1 
b)  Square  – led 2  
c)  Ring Modulator OSC1 & OSC2 – led 3 
d)  Ring Modulator  OSC1, OSC2 & suboscillator OSC3 (all 3 leds light) 

 
With “OCTAVE” button in the “OSC1” section you can change the reference 
octave of sound: available options 16’, 8’, 4’ ; Control leds will light with every 
pression of  button.  
With  “TUNE” control you can tune  

all instrument (master tuning) 

with a +/- 6 

semitones interval. 
With  “LEVEL” control you can select the out level of “OSC1”. 
 
 
 
 

OSC2 

offers 3 waveforms: Sawtooth, Square and Impulse, plus “Oscillator Sync” 

option , selectable with “WAVEFORM” button in the “OSC2” section. Control led 
will light with every pression of  button. 
 

a)  Sawtooth – led 1  
b)  Square – led 2  
c)  Impulse – PWM – For activate “pulse width” modulation you have to set 

waveform of OSC2 to “impulse”. A modulation will no longer target this 
oscillator’s pitch but its symmetry for timbral changes. 

d)  Oscillator Sync – Every new wave cycle of OSC1 forces OSC2 to restart its 

cycle too. OSC2 is therefore controlled or synchronized to OSC1 frequency. 
With “Sync” function activated modulation will only target OSC2, resulting 
in intense timbres instead of pitch modulations. (all 3 leds light) 

 
With “OCTAVE” button in the “OSC2” section you can change the reference 
octave of sound: available options 16’, 8’, 4’ ; Control leds will light with every 
pression of  button. 
With  “INTERVAL” control you can control the tuning of OSC2 with +/- 12 
semitones but always dependent from “TUNE OSC1”. 
With  “LEVEL” control you can select the out level of “OSC2”.
