Choosing
the Waveform
The
waveform
is
one of the most important factors
which
determine
a
sound.
The
first
step to
successful
sound synthesis
is
therefore to understand the
characteristics
of
the various
waveforms.
The
following
table
shows
the major characteristics
of
each
wave
form preset
on the
CZ-5000
synthesizers.
(Select preset
tone
No.

"Brass Ens

and
switch
to
the
waveforms indicated below.)

Saw-tooth
A
bright
timbre suited
to
strings
and brass
sounds.
2.
Square
A
simple timbre
suitable
for woodwinds such
as clarinet and
oboe.
3.
Pulse

A
sharp timbre
for
funky
sounds.
4. Double

A
shrill,
bright
timbre.

A
brassy,
metallic
timbre.
6.
Resonance

A
funky
timbre
with
characteristics
depending
on
the WAVE

setting.
7. Resonance El
A funky
timbre
with
characteristics
depending
on the WAVE
ENVELOPE
setting.

III
A funky

WAVE
ENVELOPE
setting.
Selecting
any one of the waveforms
1
to 5
and
setting the
wave envelope
level
set
to
outputs a
sine
wave.
This technique
is
used to output
sine
waves
when necessary.
*
As
already
noted,
the
DCO waveform
setting
determines
the basic
waveform. With
the
CZoOOO,
this
basic
waveform actually varies over time,
controlled by the
wave
envelope
(DCW).
(With
the
PD
sound
source,
the variation
is between a sine
wave and
the
basic
wave.
See
"PD Sound Source
and
Waveform
Variation"
on
page
14).
