PROGRAM
OSC MOD [O, RING, SYNC, RING+SYNC]
This selects the type of oscillator modulation produced by oscillator 2 in
conjunction with oscillator 1.
O: Oscillator modulation will not be used; the sound of oscillator 2 will be
output. By adjusting the OSC2 “SEMITONE” and “TUNE” seings you’ll be able
to create overtone-like components, harmonies, or detune eects.
RING: Oscillator 2 will be used as a ring modulator. By adjusting “SEMITONE”
or “TUNE” you can create metallic sounds with lile sense of pitch. This is useful
for sound eects.

Ring modulation generates the sum and dierence of the oscillator 1 and 2
waveforms. For example, select a pulse wave (PULSE for oscillator 1) as the
oscillator, set “TRANSPOS” to 0, and “SEMITONE” to 24. Then you can adjust
“TUNE” to produce a clear bell-like sound. Using a virtual patch to modulate
“OSC2 Tune” from an LFO or EG can also produce distinctive results.
SYNC: An oscillator sync eect will be produced. This is convenient when
creating synth-lead sounds.

Sync
Oscillator sync is a type of modulation where the phase of oscillator 2 is forcibly
synchronized to the phase of oscillator 1. For example, select a sawtooth waveform
for the oscillator, and raise the MIXER “OSC2” seing.
Then use “SEMITONE” or “TUNE” to change the pitch, and listen to the result.
This will be easier to notice if you raise the pitch of oscillator 2 higher than
oscillator 1. You can also produce interesting results by using a virtual patch to
modulate “OSC2 Tune” from an LFO or EG.
RING+SYNC: This will apply both RING and SYNC modulation simultaneously.

SEMITONE [–24...+24]
Species the detuning (pitch dierence) relative to oscillator 1, in semitone steps
over a range of plus or minus two octaves.
Note:
If you want to use the sound of oscillator 2 as a component in the oscillator
1 overtone structure, try seing it one octave or a h higher than oscil-
lator 1. If you want to use oscillator 2 in harmony, you can try intervals
such as a third, fourth, or h.
TUNE [–63...+63]
Species the amount of detune for OSC2 relative to OSC1. A seing of ±63
produces a pitch dierence of ±2 octaves, and ±48 produces a pitch dierence of
±1 octave. Values near 0 will make ne adjustments in the pitch.
Note: If the oscillator 2 “OSC MOD” is set to SYNC, adjusting “SEMITONE” or
“TUNE” will aect the pitch of the overtones. It will not change the pitch
of the fundamental.
