PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) [Aliased (not recommended)]
is oscillator’s distinctive parameter is PWM Wid, which adjusts pulse width from values of
1-99. With PWM Wid set to a value of 50, PWM produces a square wave. e further the
PWM Wid parameter is set from 50, the narrower the pulse width becomes, changing the
shape of the output waveform and thus altering the oscillator’s tonal quality.
3 Block:
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) [Anti-Aliased (recommended)]
Same as 2 Block PWM, See above.
4 Block:
SYNC SAW
Sync Saw consists of two saw waves, one that you hear (the slave) and one that controls the
slave (the master). is oscillator’s distinctive parameter is SyncO, which controls the oset
of the slave and master waves. With SyncO set to 0, the master has no eect on the slave.
When an oset is set, the slave restarts its wave cycle every time the master wave completes
a cycle. Osets cause the slave to restart its cycle in the middle of normal sawtooth cycles,
which causes the slave’s waveform shape and sound to be altered.
SUPER SAW
e Super Saw oscillator consists of two saw waves. is oscillator’s distinctive parameter is
Detune, which has settings from 0-50 cents, allowing you to detune both of the saw waves
by up to 50 cents away from the root pitch of the key played. Detune aects both saw waves,
one is detuned above the original root pitch, and the other is detuned below the original root
pitch.
TRIPLE SAW
e Triple Saw oscillator consists of three saw waves. is oscillator’s distinctive parameter
is Detune, which has settings from 0-50 cents, allowing you to detune two of the saw waves
by up to 50 cents away from the root pitch of the key played. Detune aects two of the
saw waves, one is detuned above the original root pitch, and the other is detuned below the
original root pitch. e third saw wave always plays the root pitch and is not aected by
Detune.
8 Block:
SYNC SQUARE (master) >>, >>SYNC SQUARE (slave)
