PWM (also FM Env) -100...+100%
PWM means Pulse Width Modulation. If you have
selected Pulse as Oscillator shape this parameter
determines the amount of modulation that is applied to
the pulsewidth of the oscillator’s square wave by the LFO.
If you select any waveform other than Pulse, this
parameter controls the amount fort he frequency
modulation through the filter envelope. For this purpose
the filter doesn´t need to be active.
Mod -100...+100%
Determines the amount of influence the LFO has on the
pitch. For positive settings, the pitch is increased
periodically by the modulation, for negative settings, the
pitch is decreased.
Osc Level 0...100%
Controls the volume of the corresponding Oscillator.
Filter
Lector offers a multimode filter which is located after the
oscillators.
Filter Active On / Off
Switches the Filter on or off. The switch lights red when
activated.
Cutoff 0...100%
Controls the cutoff frequency for the low pass and high
pass filter types, the center frequency for the band pass
and notch filter types, and the intensity of the whitening
filter.
• When a low pass type (24 or 12 dB LP) is
selected via the Type parameter, all
frequencies above the cutoff frequency are
damped.
• When a high pass type (24 or 12 dB HP) is
selected, all frequencies below the cutoff
frequency are damped.
• When a band pass type (24 or 12 dB BP) is
selected, only frequencies near the cutoff
setting will be passed through.
• When a notch type (24 or 12 dB Notch) is
selected, the frequencies around the cutoff
frequency are damped.
