Oscillators
Oscillators
Section titled “Oscillators”The Oscillators section contains 2 independent oscillators, each with its own waveform, pitch, and modulation options.
Tuning Controls
Section titled “Tuning Controls”Each oscillator has its own tuning controls:
- OSC1: Controls the coarse tuning of Oscillator 1, from -24.00 to 24.00 semitones.
- Detune: Controls the fine tuning of Oscillator 2, from 0.1 to 100 cents. Like the OB-X, the two oscillators will never be perfectly in tune with each other, thus why this control won’t go down to 0 cents, creating a naturally warmer sound.
- OSC2: Controls the coarse tuning of Oscillator 2, from -24.00 to 24.00 semitones.
Waveform Selectors
Section titled “Waveform Selectors”Each oscillator has its own waveform selector buttons. On the left is the sawtooth wave, and on the right is the pulse wave. If neither of these buttons is selected, the oscillator outputs a triangle wave, and the triangle wave icon between the two buttons is highlighted.
Pulse Width and Offset
Section titled “Pulse Width and Offset”- PW: Controls the pulse width of both oscillators. It is applicable if either oscillator is set to a pulse wave. It ranges from 50% to 97.5%.
- OSC 2 Offset: Additionally offsets the pulse wave of Oscillator 2 relative to Oscillator 1. It ranges from 50% to 97.5%.
Crossmod and Sync
Section titled “Crossmod and Sync”- Crossmod: Adjusts the amount of frequency modulation applied from Oscillator 1 to Oscillator 2, ranging from 0% to 100%.
- Sync: Enables hard synchronization of Oscillator 2 to Oscillator 1. Effectively, the waveform of Oscillator 2 is restarted every time Oscillator 1 is itself restarted (waveform begins a new cycle), creating a more complex waveform.
Bright
Section titled “Bright”Increasing the Bright control adds en emphasis on high-frequency harmonics to the output of both oscillators, ranging from 0% to 100%. This can help add presence and clarity to the sound.
Env to Pitch, Env to PW
Section titled “Env to Pitch, Env to PW”- Env to Pitch: Adjust the amount of modulation applied from the Filter Envelope to the pitch of Oscillator 2 only (if OSC 1+2 is disabled). It ranges from 0.00 to 36.00 semitones.
- Env to PW: Adjust the amount of modulation applied from the Filter Envelope to the pulse width of Oscillator 2 only (if OSC 1+2 is disabled).
Inv and OSC 1+2
Section titled “Inv and OSC 1+2”- ** Inv**: Inverts the polarity of the Env to Pitch and Env to PW modulations.
- OSC 1+2: Enables each modulation source to affect both oscillators simultaneously.
