Parameter of the Lector Synthesizer
The Lector synthesizer contains a 16 voices syntheiser
based on the Waldorf DNA with a lot of useful
parameters.
Lector offers two oscillators that nearly use the same
parameters for editing.
Oscillator Shape Triangle / Sine / Pulse / Saw /
S & H / Noise / Sidechain /Sampleplayback
Click on a shape symbol of the corresponding oscillator to
select the desired waveform. The following shapes are
currently available:
• Triangle selects the triangular waveform. The triangle
mainly consists of the odd harmonics with very low
magnitudes.
• Sine consists of the fundamental frequency only. It
has no harmonics at all.
• Pulse selects the pulse waveform. A pulse waveform
with a pulse width of 50% has only the odd
harmonics of the fundamental frequency present.
This waveform produces a hollow / metallic sound.
If the Pulse waveform is selected, the parameters
FM/PW
(only Osc 1) and PWM are used to change
the pulsewidth of the waveform.
•
Saw selects the sawtooth waveform. A Sawtooth
wave has all the harmonics of the fundamental
frequency in descending magnitude.
• S & H (Sample & Hold) samples a random value and
holds it until the next value is generated.
