5.3.2 Frequency Menu and Frequency Control
Frequency menu in Trans mode
All oscillators can be set to react to incoming notes in various ways. Thys are kency modes.
Using anel’s Frequency menu and its companion thcy control sitting at its right, you can to
choose from the following Frequency modes:
•
Trans: The oscillator follows the pitch of the played note. The Frequency control deter-
mines the transposition in semitones. For example, setting the Frequency control to 1.5
will lead to a transposition of one and a half tone compared with the pitch of the played
note. The Frequency control has a resolution of 1/1000 of a halftone.
• Ratio: Tranposes the oscillator according to a frequency ratio (for example along the har-
monic sequence: 2 corresponds with a transposition of 12 halftones, 3 with a transposi-
tion of 19 halftones, etc.). This mode is especially useful when using frequency modula-
tion and ring modulation.
•
Hz: Fixed pitch in Hertz. In this mode, also useful for frequency and ring modulation, the
oscillator ignores the pitch of the note played. Rather, the pitch of the oscillator does not
reacts to information like pitch bend or to signals coming from an LFO, but it can be
controlled via an Envelope.
•
Note: Fixed pitch corresponding to a selectable MIDI note. This mode is similar to the
Frequency Mode Hz, but is more appropriate when you want to use the oscillator on a
note-bound frequency (e.g. 60.5 = C3 plus a quarter-ton).

You can switch between the Frequency mModes Hz and Notes to display the exact fre-
quency of particular notes.
