Oscillator Parameters

Octave:

Sets the base frequency of an oscillator over a 5-octave range. The

global

master

coarse

and

master

fine

settings affect the pitch of the

oscillators. See “Global Settings” on page 10 for more information.

Pitch:

Fine tune control with a range of 7 semitones (a major 5th) up or

down. The 12 o’clock position is detented.

Shape:

Selects the waveshape generated by the oscillator. Oscillators 1

and 2 produce sine, sawtooth, and pulse analog waveshapes. These wave-

shapes are continuously variable

In the modulation matrix you can use a modulator such as an LFO

waveshape or one of the Take 5 envelopes to modulate the waveshape

of Oscillator 1 or 2 or both simultaneously, this changes the “pulse”

width of the selected waveform, which modifies its harmonic content and

Sync 2-1:

Off, On

—Turns on oscillator hard sync. When an oscillator is

hard synced, its wave cycle is forced to conform to another oscillator’s

wave cycle and is forced to reset each time the master oscillator’s wave

cycle restarts. This causes the synced oscillator to create harmonically

complex waveforms — particularly when the synced oscillator’s pitch is

set higher than the master oscillator’s pitch. See “Creating a Hard-Sync

sound.
