Models
The oscillators are modulated by a selectable model each of which
operates by generating an X-Y output. The available model functions
include:-
1. OG Saw.
A recreation of a Saw distortion function of a CZ series.
• X gradually goes from sine (0.0) to saw (1.0),
• Y tends to warp the waveform towards left (0.0) or right (1.0).
• With Y set to 0.5 generates a pure sine to saw
2. OG Square.
Same as the OG Saw but "square" instead of "saw"
3. Hermite Smooth.
The warmest variation of a linear phase distortion.
4. Squared.
A variation of the linear function but with the usage of 2 square
functions. Produces a little bit warmer sounds
5. Linear.
A linear phase distortion function that distorts the sine to saw-like
territory. X , Y are the coordinates of a point in which the phase
distortion function collapses.
6. Hermite FM
A variation of a PD that goes to an FM territory. X is squishing the
waveform towards left or right (like in the linear variations) but Y is
increasing the parameter which folds the phase distortion function.
Makes phase to wrap, sounding like FM.
In many cases the modulation is symmetrical in results. So for example in the linear
variations the output of x = 0.0, y = 1.0 sounds almost the same as x = 1.0, y = 0.0.
5.12 GRAIN Synth Voice
GRAIN is a granular synthesizer which scans the audio le and
generates small grains of audio which can be manipulated and
tuned in the engine. Great for creating rich textures and ambient backdrop
pads and sounds. The 16-bit mono, 44.1 kHz WAV les are tuned to ‘C’ and
are stored on the SD Card in the folder Samples/GRAIN.
