i Sync mode, D/A (digital-to-analog) resolution
function.
■ This function allows you to generate various special
effects by synchronizing the oscilators and changing
the D/A resolution.
• Sync mode:
As the DSS-1 reads the data for the oscillator-1 and
oscillator-2 waveforms from memory, the sync mode
can be used to force oscillator-2 readout timing to
follow that of oscillator-1 ♦ This works only if both
waveforms are looped.
As shown in the diagram, ordinarily the waveforms go
through their cycles independently of each other If
you turn the sync mode on, then the oscillator-2
waveform will be restarted whenever the oscillator-1
waveform is restarted. This creates complex har
monics in the oscillator-2 waveform. Sync is par
ticularly effective when used in combination with
other effects such as oscillator modulation (vibrato)
and autobend.
• D/A resolution:
This lets you change the number of bits used for con
version from the stored digital data to the analog
signal used by the oscillator Using 12 bits gives you
maximum resolution, the norm. Using less than 12
bits produces a progressively rougher approximation
of the original signal, at the same time adding con
siderable new harmonic content which may be desir
able.
