CHORD OSC

(Chord oscillator)

This oscillator type provides four oscillators that can output basic
waveforms. Using this, you can produce a chord of the form
specified by the OSC EDIT1 setting by playing just a single note.

WAVE ....................................... Saw, Square, Tri, Sin

Selects the basic waveform used by the wave form oscil-
lators. (The same waveform is used by all four oscillators.)

OSC EDIT1: ChordNam ............................................
Major, 6th, 7th, M7, m7 ( 5), minor, m6, m7, mMaj7,
dim, dim7, m7( 5), aug, aug7, sus4, sus7

Selects the chord form.

OSC EDIT2: Voicing....................................... -3...+3

Adjusts the voicing of the chord.

UNISON OSC

(Unison oscillator)

This oscillator type provides six oscillators that output basic
waveforms. Using this, you can produce extremely thick sounds
by playing just a single note. OSC EDIT1 adjusts the pitch of
one oscillator independently of the other five oscillators.

WAVE ... 3Saw-6Saw, 3Squ-6Squ, 3Tri-6Tri, 3Sin-6Sin

Selects the basic waveform of the unison oscillator (this
will be the same for all six oscillators) and the number of
oscillators that will sound.

OSC EDIT1: Detune .......................................0...127

Detunes the pitch of the six oscillators relative to each
other. Higher values will produce a greater detuning,
making the sound thicker.

Even at a Detune value of 0, the pitch of the os-

cillators will not be perfectly identical.

OSC EDIT2: OSC1 Ptch ............................. -63...+63

Adjusts the pitch of oscillator 1. A value of

±

63 creates a

pitch difference of

±

2 octaves, and a value of 47 creates a

pitch difference of

±

1 octave. With a value of 0, the pitch

will be the same as the other five oscillators.

RING MOD

(Ring modulator)

This oscillator type creates new overtones that are ÅrE sum and
difference of two oscillator waveforms. It can produce shifting
metallic resonances. You can choose the combination of wave-
forms for the two oscillators.

WAVE ......................................................................
twenty different combinations of oscillator 1 (Saw, Squ,
Tri, Sin) + oscillator 2 (Saw, Squ, Tri, Sin, Ns [=Noise])

OSC EDIT1: ModDepth ..................................0...127

Adjusts the volume balance of oscillator 1 and the ring
modulation effect. With a value of 0 only oscillator 1 will
be output, and with a value of 127 only the ring modula-
tion sound will be output.

OSC EDIT2: ModPitch ................................ -63...+63

Adjusts the pitch of oscillator 2 (the modulator). A value
of

±

63 creates a pitch difference of

±

2 octaves, and a value

of 47 creates a pitch difference of

±

1 octave. With a value

of 0, the pitch is the same as oscillator 1.
