Voice Selection Panels
The voice selection panels is where the original architecture of the hardware (and the
underlying Chorosynth) is most visible, and specific for the sound character of
RAGNARÖK. There are separate sections for the waveforms (square and pulse),
interval tones and multi-voice option.
Square Wave & Pulse Wave
There are four octaves available for both square waves and pulse waves. You can mix
both octaves and waves at will. Stacking the same octave for both square and pulse
gives a different timbre than either one of those apart.
Interval
The interval octave buttons add an additional (square) voice for the selected octave,
that is by default set to an interval of a 'fifth'. You can change the interval in the
'settings' section with the 'int' knob. The interval can also be set to (close to) the base
tuning, for additional chorus/phaser like effects.
Multi Voice
This is the most important section of the voices: it handles RAGNARÖK's 3-voice
spread/detune option for all the square and pulse voices. By switching on an octave in
this section, it will set both the square and pulse for that octave (if in use) to 3
oscillators that are slightly detuned for a big chorus effect. The amount of detuning
can be set in the settings section with the 'spr.' knob. This setting is patch dependent.
