gentle (for percussive sounds) or to make them start more quickly (for sounds with slow attacks). e number of
available osets will vary depending on the specic Multisample.
If no alternate start points are available, this will show n/a.
Channel
[Stereo, Left, Right, n/a]
is applies to stereo Multisamples only; for mono Multisamples, “n/a” is shown. You can choose whether to use the
original Stereo signal, or only the Le or Right channels (in mono).
Morph
Morph Type
[List of Morph Types]
e Morph Types let you stretch, squeeze, reect, and otherwise alter the Wavetables in real-time, changing their
timbre and—when modulated—creating additional motion in the sound.
When the Oscillator Mode is set to Sample, the Morph Type options are limited. For Oscillator 1, Morph is completely
unavailable. For Oscillator 2, only AM and Ring Mod are available.
None: e Wavetable is played unaltered.
Sync: e Wavetable is reset by a phantom oscillator, creating the classic sync sound. Morph Amount controls the
frequency of the phantom oscillator.
Windowed Sync: Similar to Sync above, but with reduced high frequencies for lower aliasing.
Stretch: e waveform is stretched in one direction and squeezed in the other, creating an eect similar to Pulse Width
Modulation. When Morph Amount is set to 50, the waveform is unaltered.
Flip: is inverts the polarity of a section of the waveform, with the “ip” point determined by Morph Amount.
Mirror: Shrinks the waveform to half its length, and then reects that half-length waveform around the center as a
mirror image. Morph Amount stretches and squeezes the waveform similar to Stretch, above.
Mirror Stretch: is is similar to Mirror, above, but doubles the Stretch eect.
Narrow: As Morph Amount increases, the waveform is compressed towards the front, with zeros lling the rest of the
duty cycle. e eect is dierent from Stretch, but also has some similarities to Pulse Width Modulation.
Narrow Stretch: is combines Narrow and Stretch, compressing the waveform’s length while also stretching and
squeezing.
Windowed Narrow: Similar to Narrow above, but with reduced high frequencies for lower aliasing.
W.NarrowStretch: Similar to Narrow Stretch above, but with reduced high frequencies for lower aliasing.
Additional Osc 2 Morph Types
Osc 2 supports all of the Morph Types listed above, and three more: FM, AM, and Ring Mod. For all of these, Oscillator
1 is the modulator, and Oscillator 2 is the carrier. If you’re using Oscillator 1 solely as a modulator, you may wish to set
its Level to 0%.
Note: when using these Morph Types, the waveform graphic will be an approximation.
FM: Oscillator 1 modulates the frequency of Oscillator 2. Morph Amount controls the amount of frequency
modulation.
AM, or amplitude modulation, includes both ring modulation, as below, and the dry signal from Oscillator 2. Morph
Amount controls the amount of amplitude modulation.
Ring Mod combines the two Oscillators to generate new sideband frequencies based on those inputs. e result can be
everything from subtle brightening to wild, dissonant, gong-like timbres. When the frequencies of Oscillators 1 and
2 are the same, the Ring Modulator produces steady, constant waveforms. When they are detuned, it produces more
movement and overtones. Morph Amount controls the amount of ring modulation.
Morph (Amount)
[0.00...100.00]
is controls the intensity of the Morph process, as described above.
LFO (Intensity)
[-100.00...+100.00]
is sets the intensity of the Morph modulation from the Osc 1 LFO (for Osc 1) or the Osc 2 LFO (for Osc 2).
