Wave 2 - Square
Square is based on a three oscillator design with three wave shape
variations selected by the mode switch. Unlike the super saw which is
free-running the square is phase locked to the start of the note which
allows more percussive tones to be created for punchier sounds. The
detuning operates in a similar way and unison will produce a static non-
phasing wave. Mode I is a pure square wave, Mode II is a 33% pulse
wave and Mode III is a pulse wave heavily overdriven to produce even
greater harmonic overtones and thicker detune artefacts."
Wave 3 - Tonewheel Organ
Tonewheel Organ is a blend of pure sine waves in 3 different classic
drawbar combinations. Furthermore the tonewheels are rigged as three
oscillators that can be in unison or detuned 5ths or octaves apart. So it's
kind of an organ on top of an organ on top of another organ. A simple
tweak of the detune control at unison sounds like a Leslie speaker
speeding up and slowing down, a further tweak introduces 2
2/3
'
drawbars and further still 8" and 2" drawbars. And in-between?
Uncharted sonic territory."
Tip: If you want a key click on your organ sound, turn the Decay|Sustain
control past 12 o'clock and set Release to 0. Add a bit of EnvDepth and
resonance to the filter.
Mode
Switches between Mode I, Mode II and Mode III. The effect depends on
the oscillator wave selected above."
Shift
Shift is used to access alternative functions on Poly Cinematic, of which
there are deliberately very few, such is our strict policy against hidden
functions and confusing interfaces. In the oscillator section it controls
fine tuning in combination with the Pitch knob. Holding down shift and
turning Pitch will fine tune +-50 cents and will store that in permanent
memory. Poly Cinematic is otherwise set to a very accurate concert
pitch."
The midi channel can also be set by holding Shift
and Resonance, values range from Omni (all
channels) through from 1 to 16."
Shift and Trigger can be used to permanently save
the 8 chord memories."
