Sequential Prophet VS - Waveform Descriptions

VS WAVEFORM DESCRIPTIONS
To audition any waveform on its own:
1. Switch Edit Waveform on.
2. Move the joystick for 100% mix of any of the four oscillators.
3. Select the corresponding oscillator with Oscillator Select.
4. Press Wave#.
5. Adjust the slider for the desired wave number.
6. Play the keyboard to hear the selected waveform.
7. To include specic waveforms in a program, switch Edit Waveform o, then
edit the Oscillator Group controls as explained in the Prophet VS operation
manual.
The following are some of the waveforms included in the VS's internal ROM.
WAVE# NAME COMMENTS
32 Sine This is the purest waveform available and is the
building block of all waveforms. Whether or not
you have the patience or inclination to create com-
plex waveforms with it is another matter.
33 Sawtooth Typically used for brass patches, this waveform is
featured on most analog synthesizers. It is equally
valid on the VS and combines well with other
complex waveforms.
34 Another standard analog waveform. Works well
for traditional “string synth” sounds.
45 an 46 Pulse waveforms. Both have the “nasal” qualities of narrow pulse
waveforms. Subtle dierences.
56 The fundamental is absent in this one. The third
and fth harmonics dominate.
58 Heavy seventh harmonic.
60 BASSBELL 14th and 28th harmonics.
75 and 76 On their own, these waveforms may not appear
to be derived from a voice sample, but detuning
two oscillators using either waveform brings out
the vocal qualities.
