2. Select wave A, B, C, or D with Oscillator Select.
3. Press Wave#.
4. If necessary, select the desired wave numbers for each oscillator with the
slider.
5. If desired, adjust each waveform’s ‘harmonic” settings (see below).
6. To edit the current mixture, use Waveform Mix joystick.
You hear a live dry mix of the waveforms.
7. If desired, store the new waveform (see below).
Wave# and Harmonic
In addition to adjusting the mix between the four waveforms, it is possible to
change the waves assigned to each oscillator, and the ‘harmonic” of each
waveform to be mixed.
As explained in Section 6, in Program Edit mode, each oscillator has
independent frequency control, allowing detuning in semitones or cents. When
several oscillators are combined, then, each note played can produce rich
textures (from the beating between slightly detuned oscillators), or even full
chords. These eects are unique to programs.
When waveforms are combined in Edit Waveform mode, the ne and coarse
frequency controls do not apply. Thus, the semitone/cent intervals cannot be
produced by one waveform alone. Instead, the waveform frequencies can
only be multiplied by integer amounts from 1-32. You may recognize some
similarities between this method of editing waveforms and additive synthesis.
For example, suppose you want to blend four sine waves of dierent
frequencies:
1. Enter Edit Waveform mode.
2. Press Oscillator Select.
3. Press Wave#.
4. Select wave #32 (sine wave) with the slider.
5. Select the other oscillators with Oscillator Select and set them all to wave #32
with the slider.
6. To select the harmonic function, press Coarse Freq or Fine Freq.
7. Adjust the current waveform harmonic with the slider. (Range is 1-32.)
The wave frequency is multiplied by the selected value. For example to
generate the third harmonic, adjust the slider to “3.”
