Listening to the BASIC Generator:
The basic generator contains everything you would expect from a voltage-controlled oscillator. It can produce one of
three basic waveforms: sine, square and saw. Let’s have a listen!
Make sure the MIXER section COMPLEX and SUB knobs are turned fully counterclockwise. Turn the mixer knob of the
BASIC generator clockwise. You are now listening to the basic generator. You can use the waveform switch to listen to
the three different waveforms.
Select a saw wave and turn the RES (FILTER section) to a 75% clockwise position. Slowly turn the CUTOFF knob
counterclockwise and back to fully clockwise.
With this FILTER sweep you have now explored the basic principles of the basic generator. The basic generator in
combination with the filter can produce a lot of classic analogue sounds and is perfectly suitable for bass lines, arpeg-
gios and more.
Besides creating more standard sounds, the basic
generator has a more interesting function on the
IMPLEXUS. The basic generator can be used as
a modulation source for the complex generator.
Some of the parameters that can be controlled
are FM, FOLD and BIAS.
That’s it for the first exploration of the IMPLEX-
US sound. We have explored the fundamental
features of the IMPLEXUS and listened to some in-
teresting sounds. In the next couple of chapters,
we will go in-depth on every parameter so that you
can get creative with the many possibilities the
IMPLEXUS offers!

In this section of the manual, every control and function is explained in detail.
COMPLEX GENERATOR
The complex generator is an accurate voltage-controlled sine wave generator cascaded by multiple wave shape
manipulators to create more complex sounding waveforms.
PITCH CONTROL
The complex generator offers three pitch control knobs: RANGE, FINE and
LIN FM. We will detail them one by one:
RANGE:
The RANGE control selects lowest note for the complex generator in
steps of exactly one octave.
FINE:
The FINE control tunes the complex generator and is continuous so
you can fine-tune its pitch.
LIN FM
The LIN FM (linear frequency modulation) controls the amount
of modulation the basic generator introduces to the pitch of the
complex generator.
