Let us now review the different synthesis parameters.
Digital oscillators (S1)
Wave saw|para 0|rang 0|tune 0
wave squa|para 32|rang -12|tune 12
Each row displays the settings of an oscillator. The parameters are the following:
wave (waveform)
: Oscillator waveform family. Contrary to most synthesizers in which waveforms are
static, the Ambika waveforms are dynamic and can be continously morphed — this is why it is more
correct to refer to “waveform families” instead of “waveforms”.
para (parameter)
: Morphing parameter. This morphs the selected waveform into many variations.
rang (range)
: Oscillator pitch, from -36 semitones to 36 semitones (relative the pitch of the
MIDI
note
played on the keyboard).
tune (tune)
: Oscillator fine tune, from -0.5 semitone (-64) to 0.5 semitone (+64).
The following is a list of all the available waveform families, with some applications and a description
of what adjusting the
parameter
setting actually does.
none
: silence
This simply switches off the oscillator. Switching the oscillators off is useful if you want to use the
sine-wave produced by the filter’s self-oscillation as the sole sound source.
saw
: sawtooth
