Oscillator Specic Control And Modulation Parameters:
Several KVA oscillators also have their own modulation parameters that must be accessed
to control the oscillator’s intended function. Below is a list of these oscillators and their
distinctive parameters, grouped by block size. ough the following parameters could be left
at one setting, utilizing one of the DSPCTL or DSPMOD techniques described in the above
examples will expose a wider range of expression from each oscillator.
1 Block:
LPNOIZ
A noise generator combined with a low pass lter. Use the Noiz Frq parameter to control the
cut o frequency of the lter.
NOISE
A simple noise generator. Use the Noise parameter to control the noise initial amplitude.
SW + SHP (Sawtooth + Shaper)
is oscillator is capable of basic FM Synthesis. Its distinctive parameter is Pch Coar. is
oscillator must come after the sound source in an algorithm (either keymap or oscillator)
in order to hear the eect of Pch Coar, which can radically change whatever the oscillator
receives as an input. Works well placed after a Sine source.
SINE+ [Aliased (not recommended)]
Same as 2 block version, but without the Sine+Am parameter.
SAW+ [Aliased (not recommended)]
A saw oscillator that can add an input signal to its output.
NOISE+ [Aliased (not recommended)]
A noise oscillator that can add an input signal to its output.
2 Block:
SINE+
A sine oscillator that can add an input signal to its output. e Sin+ Pch and Sine+ Am
parameters aect the pitch and amplitude of the sine waveform without aecting the pitch of
the input source.
