OSCILLATOR SECTION
Tips & Tricks
Try setting the modulating LFOs Keysync parameter to Keysync to get really percussive attacks to Double Saw sounds. This simu-
lates all the Oscillators starting in phase. Setting this parameter to Freewheel means all Oscillators will start at random phase loca-
tions.
Below is an example of how to set up a detuning effect using a Double Saw wave.
Width - Button
Mod Depth - Knob
LFO 1 - Button
This combination can be used to create a Pitch shift using LFO 1. The first thing that needs to be done is to set an LFO ( in this
case LFO 1 ) to a Saw wave running at a moderate speed, i.e. 110 when set to Slow. Turning the Mod Depth Knob clockwise intro-
duces a pitch shift in one of the Saw waves in a positive direction. Turning the Mod Depth Knob anticlockwise introduces a pitch
shift in one of the Saw waves in a negative direction. In the “Mid” position there is no modulation at all. The range of this parameter
is -64 to +63. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
This is actually set up in Program D126 “DOUBLE SAW Init”. In this program LFO1 is used positively & negatively on 2 oscillators
& LFO2 is used at a slightly different speed to make sure all 6 oscillators are at different pitches.
The detune effect will not be smoothly produced if anything other than a modulation level of either -64 to +63 is used. Anything else
may produce clicky artifacts, But these in themselves may be interesting.
These buttons do not apply to the Ring Mod Oscillators ( 1*3 & 2*3 ) or the Noise Generator.
Octave - Button
Semitone - Button
Fine - Button
Tune - Knob
.
The three buttons determine if the Tune knob edits the Octave setting, Semitone transposition or fine tuning of the selected
Oscillator.
If the Octave button is selected, the Tune knob will shift the selected oscillator up 2 octaves when turned fully clockwise & down 2
octaves when turned fully anticlockwise.
If the Semitone button is selected, the Tune knob will shift the selected oscillator up 12 semitones when turned fully clockwise &
down 12 semitones when turned fully anticlockwise.
If the Fine button is selected, the Tune knob will shift the selected oscillator up 63 cents when turned fully clockwise & down 64
cents when turned fully anticlockwise. These parameters are memorised with a Program.
Portamento - Knob
This knob adjusts the Portamento effect on the currently selected Program. Fully anticlockwise no Portamento is heard. Turning the
knob clockwise brings in the Portamento effect & notes will smoothly glide from one pitch to the next. The range of this parameter
is 000 to 127 semitones. This parameter is memorised with Programs.
