The Controls in Detail
Lector User´s Manual 20
•
Noise selects White Noise which contains all
frequencies with the same gain level.
• Sidechain selects an external audio signal as
oscillator signal. You have to use the sidechain
function of your host application (VST3, AU) or the
lector Carrier plug-in (VST2.4). Please read also the
chapter „The Carrier Signal of Lector“.
• Click on Sampleplayback to open a pop-up menu
for selecting an audio samples as source for the
corresponding oscillator. Choose the Load function
to load own samples.
Semitone C-1...C7
Sets the pitch of the oscillator in semitone steps. The
standard setting for this parameter is C3, but there are
cases where different values are interesting as well.
Detune (Osc 2 only) 0...100 cents
Fine-tunes the oscillator in steps of 1/100 of a semitone.
The audible result of detuned oscillators is a Chorus or
Flanger effect. Use a positive setting for one oscillator and
an equivalent negative setting for another.
✻ Low value results in a slow and soft Flanger effect.
✻ Mid-ranged settings are perfect for pads and other fat
sounding programs.
✻ High values will give a strong detune that can be
used for accordions or effect sounds.
FM / PW (nur Osc 1) 0...100%
Sets the amount of frequency modulation that is applied
to oscillator 2. The sound will get more metallic and
sometimes even drift out of tune. When Pulse is selected
as Oscillator shape, it controls only the pulsewidth of this
waveform. The value 100 is equivalent to a pulse ratio of
0%, the oscillator is producing no audible signal. The
value 0 is equivalent to 50% and produces a symmetric
square wave without even harmonics. If you select any
waveform other than Pulse or the wavetables, this
parameter does not have any effect. The following picture
illustrates the effect of the pulsewidth parameter:
Pulse Width 50%

Pulse Width 33% Pulse Width 25% Pulse Width <1%
