(Square Waveform), or with the 16’ harmonic 3 times
louder than the 4’ harmonic (Sawtooth Waveform).

When a Square Waveform is selected (Value of

).
and any single ONE of the Harmonics parameters
Is
ON, a regular square wave is produced at the
selected pitch range.
!
COMBINING TWO OR MORE of the harmonics with
the Square Waveform selected
produces octave
doubling “effects."

LEVEL
The maximum level of
DC0
1 can be adjusted over
a range of
E
(of9 to

: (full). This is’useful both
for adjusting the overall volume
to
match other pro-
grams, and for balancing DC0 1 and DC0 2 in Dou-
ble Mode.
