Oscillator Controls
Frequency: Sets the base oscillator frequency over a 4-octave range.
Adjustment is in semitones.
The Master Tune knob affects the pitch of all oscillators, as does the Transpose
parameter in the Globals section.
Fine: This adjusts the tuning of Oscillator B upward (sharp) and has a
range of nearly a semitone.
Shape: Sawtooth, Triangle, Square/Pulse—Selects the waveshape gener-
ated by the oscillator. You can turn on multiple waveshapes simultane-
ously.
Pulse Width: Changes the width of the square/pulse wave from a square
wave when the pulse width knob is at its center position, to a very
narrow pulse wave when the pulse width knob is fully left or right.
Applying pulse width modulation using poly mod or the low frequency oscillator
is a great way to add movement and thickness to a sound, especially when creating
pad or string-like sounds.
Sync: Off, On—Turns on Oscillator A hard sync. Sync forces Oscillator
A to restart its cycle every time Oscillator B starts a cycle. This provides
a way to create more complex, harmonically rich shapes from simple
waveforms—especially when the frequency of Oscillator A is set to a
different interval than Oscillator B.
