A-2 Appendix A: MACHINE REFERENCE
SUBX controls a square wave suboscillator,
located one octave below the base pitch.
SUB1 controls a sine sub oscillator, located
one octave below the base pitch.
SUB2 controls a sine sub oscillator, located
two octaves below the base pitch.
TUNE (tune) sets the tune of the oscillator.
SUPERWAVE PULSE “SWAVE-PULSE”
The SuperWave Pulse machine offers five
analogue style oscillators, three of which
offer Pulse Width Modulation.
The core of the sound is made up from one
base pulse oscillator.
UNIL (unison level) controls the unison oscil-
lator pair of pulse oscillators, located over
and under the base pitch.
UNIW (unison width) sets the distance
between the unison oscillators and the base
pitch.
SUB1 controls a sine sub oscillator, located
one octave below the base pitch.
SUB2 controls a sine sub oscillator, located
two octaves below the base pitch.
PW (pulse width) controls the pulse width of
the base oscillator and the two unison oscil-
lators. The center value (0) of the gives a
square form, and the higher and lower set-
tings turn the waveform towards a spike
form.
PWAD (pulse width add) controls the sweep
between the square and spike forms of the
PW parameter. Setting PWAD to zero turns
off the pulse sweep. The pulse sweep speed
increases with higher settings of PWAD.
PWRS (pulse width restart) will when acti-
vated restart the pulse sweep controlled by
the PWAD parameter from the PW position
each time a note is played.
TUNE (tune) sets the tune of the oscillator.
SUPERWAVE ENSEMBLE “SWAVE-ENS”
The SuperWave Ensemble machine offers
up to eight analogue style oscillators, set up
with special controls to create up to four note
chords with only one machine.
The Ensemble machine generates one sin-
gle oscillator, single pitch sound with the
default settings.
PCH2-4 (pitch 2-4) adds an oscillator offset
from the base pitch. If C-4 is played and
PCH2 = 4, PCH3 = 7, PCH4 = OFF, the
notes C-4, E-4 and G-4 will sound.
The pitches can also be set to the exact
octave intervals 6/5, 5/4, 4/3 and 3/2 for cre-
ating just intonated (cleaner sounding)
chords. To change chord inside a pattern,
use parameter locks!
WAVE (waveform) controls the oscillator
shape. The ensemble waveforms are con-
structed from two saw tooth oscillators,
which can unite to create a set of waveforms
ranging from saw tooth through square to
spikes. Adjusting PW will mutate the sound,
giving various results depending on the
WAVE settings.
PW (pulse width) mutates the sound, giving
various results depending on the WAVE set-
tings. Its center value (0) will take the WAVE
from a saw wave to a square wave.
CHRL (chorus level) controls the chorus
level of the ensemble chorus.
CHRW (chorus width) controls the width of
the ensemble chorus.
TUNE (tune) sets the tune of the oscilla-
tor(s).
