TheOASYShassixmodes.
Program mode
ProgramsarethebasicsoundsofOASYS.InProgram
mode,youcan:
• SelectandplayPrograms
•EditPrograms
Makedetailedsettingsforoscillators,filters,amps,
EGs,LFOs,effects,KARMA,vectorsynthesis,etc.
Thespecificparameterswillvarydependingonthe
synthesistype:HD‐1,AL‐1,CX‐3,STR‐1,MS‐20EX,
