Synthesis Parameters
OSCILLATOR-3 SEMITONE
Transposes Oscillator 3 in semitone steps. Con-
trol range: +/-4 octaves. (Not available if OS-
CILLATOR 3 MODE = “OFF” or “SLAVE”.)

OSCILLATOR-3 DETUNE
Detunes the third oscillator relatively to the first.
With this parameter, you can dial in everything
from slight deviations in pitch to major fluctua-
tions relatively to the other oscillators.

OSZILLATOR-3 PHASE INIT
This feature lets you select the oscillator phase
position at the start of a note. At a value of 0, all
oscillators oscillate freely much like in a tradi-
tional analog synthesizer. At values of 1 and
higher, Oscillator 1 starts the note with a phase
angle of 0, whereas the phase position of the
second oscillator is shifted increasingly at as-
cending values. The Phase position of oscillator
3 is shifted to the opposite direction. With this
parameter, the attack phase of every note is
identical, which is a handy feature for program-
ming drums and percussive sounds. In con-
junction with Oscillator 3 and PHASE INIT, you
can create prominent overtones that are initiat-
ed at the beginning of a note.

between SQUARE and TRIANGLE.

NOISE COLOR
When the noise generator is used by Oscillator
2 for frequency modulation (see FM mode), the
NOISE COLOR setting also influences the
sound of the frequency modulation.
- MIDDLE Neutral (White noise, all the fre-
quencies are evenly distributed.)
- NEGATIVE Lowpass (Pink noise, dull and
more bass)
- POSITIVE Hipass (Bright and thin noise)
