Besides this, it is up to you to route modulations to parameters. By default, the following
routings are wired:

Each row displays the settings of an oscillator. The parameters are the following:
•
wave (waveform)
: Oscillator waveform family. Contrary to most synthesizers in
which waveforms are static, the Ambika waveforms are dynamic and can be
continously morphed — this is why it is more correct to refer to “waveform
families” instead of “waveforms”.
•
para (parameter)
: Morphing parameter. This morphs the selected waveform into
many variations.
•
rang (range)
: Oscillator pitch, from -36 semitones to 36 semitones (relative the
pitch of the MIDI note played on the keyboard).
•
tune (tune)
: Oscillator fine tune, from -0.5 semitone (-64) to 0.5 semitone (+64).
The following is a list of all the available waveform families, with some applications and a
description of what adjusting the
parameter
setting actually does.
