Program : Wave Output
WAVE1/2: Push to scroll and act on
available parameters for either waveform
generator (e.g., scroll frequency, type,
phase, etc.)
CV: Push to bring up the CV pop-up
menu and assign the CV source and
attenuation amount for either waveform
generator’s pitch or amplitude
CV Control: Input channels 1-4
can be assigned CV frequency or
VCA amplitude of either oscillator
Wave Out: Oscillator 1 and 2 output,
10V peak-to-peak (+/-5V)
MODE: Push to bring up the Mode
pop-up menu, choosing either
decimal frequency or note value for
setting the waveform generator’s
base frequency
AMP: The waveform’s amplitude as a percentage of 10V peak-
to-peak (e.g., 100% = 10Vpp, +/-5V). Max value is 200% and
will clip the waveform over +5V and under -5V for wave shaping.
Min values is -200%; negative amp values invert the wave
(e.g., saw to ramp). This gain stage is prior to the VCA, so that
clipping waves will maintain their shape under VCA control.
OFFSET: Percent gain or reduction in the
waveform’s center voltage value (e.g., 0% = 0V
center, 25% = 2.5V center). This can be used in
combination with the AMP control to clip and
shape the waveform.
TYPE: The initial waveform
shape, which can be SINE,
SQR, SAW, or TRI.
PHASE: The starting point of
the waveform’s cycle
FREQ/NOTE: The waveform
generator’s base frequency
(frequency before CV pitch
control) is displayed as either
decimal Hz or note name.
Final Frequency: The
waveform generator’s current
output frequency, which is a
combination of the set base
frequency and the incoming CV
pitch information (if pitch CV is
active)
CV Message: Not a control, but
a reminder message to set the
oscillator base frequency to note
C0 (16.35Hz) for normal 1V per
octave CV tracking.
The DATA’s Wave Output program provides two precision waveform generators. Each unit can act as either LFO modulation
sources or audio rate oscillators, with 1V per octave CV pitch tracking over 8 octaves. CV control over each oscillator’s
pitch and amplitude (digital VCA) can be assigned on the y to any of the 4 input jacks, with independent attenuators per
modulation destination.
Frequency - Manual Control: 0.01 Hz - 9,999.99 Hz
Frequency - CV Input: 0.01 Hz - 4,200.00 Hz
C0 to C8 / 0V to +8V is the normal functional CV input range
*Will accept CV input up to +10V, producing glitchy, weird signals up to around 15,800 Hz
Amplitude (VCA) - CV Input: 0V to +5V, linear response
