Even + Clip: is combines Even Only and Hard Clip, producing a brighter version of the Wavetable with increased
overtones with only even harmonics.
Skip + Clip: is combines Skip Every 3 and Hard Clip, producing a brighter version of the Wavetable with increased
overtones and with every third harmonic removed.
Low 20: is removes all but the lowest 20 harmonics.
Low 12: is removes all but the lowest 12 harmonics.
Organ-ize: is emphasizes the harmonics that correspond to organ drawbars: 1 (8’), 2 (4’), 3 (2 2/3’), 4 (2’), 5 (1 3/5’),
6 (1 1/3’), and 8 (1’). e other harmonics are still present, but greatly reduced. e result is drawbar organ sounds with
“stops” based on the Wavetable.
Vintage 8: is quantizes to 8 bits and disables band-limiting for all but the highest notes, resulting in a brighter sound
with higher noise and signicant aliasing.
Vintage 12: is quantizes to 12 bits and disables band-limiting for all but the highest notes, resulting in a brighter
sound with moderate amounts of noise and aliasing.
4 Steps: Quantizes the base table to 2 bits, using band-limiting to minimize aliasing (so, you’ll notice that the displayed
waveform is smoother than a simple 2-bit waveform).
8 Steps: Quantizes the waveform to 3 bits, similar to 4 Steps, above.
16 Steps: Quantizes the waveform to 4 bits, similar to 4 Steps, above.
So Clip: Applies gentle so clipping to the base table, adding overtones and increasing brightness.
Hard Clip: Applies a gain of 3.0 and then clips the result, for a greater increase in overtones and brightness.
Innite Clip: Applies a ridiculous amount of gain, then clips the result.
Note that So Clip, Hard Clip, and Innite Clip are very dierent from applying clipping to the audio output. e timbre
isn’t aected by the oscillator level or the number of voices being played, and the results are band-limited to avoid harsh
tones.
Tilt Up: is reduces the levels of lower harmonics, and increases the levels of higher harmonics, tilted around the 12th
harmonic.
Tilt Up +: Similar to Tilt Up, but more extreme.
Tilt Down: is increases the levels of lower harmonics, and reduces the levels of higher harmonics, tilted around the
12th harmonic.
Tilt Down +: is increases the levels of lower harmonics, and reduces the levels of higher harmonics, tilted around the
8th harmonic.
Low Boost: Boosts the rst 5 harmonics.
Low Cut: Reduces the fundamental and rst few harmonics.
Low Cut +: Reduces the rst 5 harmonics.
Muted: Dramatically lowers the level of all harmonics above the fundamental.
Fade Out: Crossfades successive waves in the Wavetable with 0 so that the waveform fades out to 0 as Position increases.
Use this to create decaying plucked or percussive sounds just by sweeping the Position.
Reverse: Loads the Wavetable’s individual waves in reverse order. is is particularly useful for Wavetables which sweep
from a bright or complex sound on one end to a dark or simple sound on the other.
Gain +3 dB, Gain +6 dB, Gain -3 dB, Gain -6 dB: Increase or decrease gain by the specied amounts. ese are
particularly useful for balancing the volume between Wavetables A and B.
Wave B (Wavetable B)
[List of Wavetables]
is selects the Wavetable for Wave B; it appears only if Oscillator Mode is set to A/B. A/B Blend then controls the mix
of Wavetables A and B.
Mod B (Wavetable B Modier)
[None… Gain -6 dB]
is selects the Modier for Wave B; it appears only if Oscillator Mode is set to A/B.
