The Oscillators
Now it is possible to select an oscillator for each step button, instead of a sampling.
These can morph between sine, triangle, sawtooth, square and noise waveforms.
Pulse Width are adjustable on all waveforms.
To select an oscillator for a step button:
-Push the step button you would like to assign an oscillator to.
-Push the ”Assign” button.
-Push and hold the ”Dec” button, until the display shows [
∞∞
WaveForm
∞∞
]. The
oscillators are placed as sample number 0.
Now when you push the stepbutton, you should hear the oscillator.
When entering the ”SAMPLE” section in the edit menu, an oscillator will have the
following parameters:
Tune:
-128 to +127. Tunes the pitch of the oscillator up and down in quarter tone
steps.
Fine:
-64 to +63. Fine tunes the the pitch of the oscillator.
Gain:
-128 to +127. Adjusts how loud the oscillator will go in to the filter. Positive
values will create overdive.
Dec:
0 to 255. Oscillator VCA envelope decay. Adjusts how long time it will take for
the oscillator to fade out. Besides controlling the output VCA level, this envelope can
also control the filter cutoff and mix, and the pitch of the oscillator.
Mode:
poly, mono. Selects polyphonic or monophonic playback.
Wave: Sine
to
Tria
to
Saw
to
Squr
to
Nois
. Selects the oscillator waveform. The
numbers inbetween the waveform names, indicates that it is morphing between two
waveforms.
Strt:
Off, 1 to 255. By this parameter it is possible to make the waveform start at a
fixed point, every time the oscillator is trigged. This can be very useful for creating
percussive sound with a harder attack. When this is off, the waveform is completely
free-running.
