Editing Layers
Ö Except for PWM, all algorithms support the Sine, Triangle, Saw and Square wave
shapes. PWM supports Square wave only.
To select an oscillator type, proceed as follows:
1. In the OSC1, OSC2 or OSC3 section, click the icon that indicates the wave
shape.
A pop-up menu opens.
2. From the menu, select the oscillator type to set the wave shape and algorithm you
want to use.
The waveform parameters for OSC1, OSC2 and OSC3 can be assigned as
modulation destinations in the modulation matrix.
OSC 1/2/3 Waveform
The waveform parameter allows you to modify the sound of the oscillator algorithm. Its
effect depends on the selected oscillator type (see above for details).
OSC 1/2/3 Octave (Oct)
Here you can adjust the pitch in octave steps.
OSC 1/2/3 Coarse (Crs)
Here you can adjust the pitch in semitone steps.
OSC 1/2/3 Fine
This parameter tunes the pitch in hundredths of a semitone (cents).
OSC 1/2/3 Level
This adjusts the output level of the oscillator.
Ö The waveform, pitch and level of oscillator 1, 2, and 3 can be modulated separately in
the modulation matrix.
Sub Oscillator (SUB)
The pitch of the sub oscillator is always one octave lower than the overall pitch of the
synth layer. If you modulate the pitch of the synth layer, the pitch of the sub oscillator
follows.
• To activate and deactivate the sub oscillator, click its On/Off button.
Ö Make sure that you switch off the sub oscillator when the function is not needed.
When kept on, it uses CPU cycles even if they are not heard, such as in a situation
where the level is set to 0
%.
CM
(Cross Modulation)
This algorithm provides a combination of two oscillators where a
master oscillator is modulating the pitch of a slave oscillator (Sine,
Triangle, Saw or Square) at audio rate. The waveform parameter
adjusts the pitch ratio between slave and master oscillator resulting
in a sound close to frequency modulation.
XOR This algorithm compares two square waveforms with an XOR
(exclusive or) operation. Depending on the outcome of the XOR
operation, the wave shape of a third oscillator (Sine, Triangle, Saw
or Square) is reset. The waveform parameter adjusts the pitch ratio
of the square oscillators resulting in a sound close to ring
modulation of the third oscillator.
