• Single produces a single waveform.
If the square waveform is selected, the Shape parameter controls the
pulse width, that is, the ratio between the high and low value of the
square wave. A setting of 50 % produces a pure square wave. With
settings below or above 50 %, the oscillator produces rectangular
waves.
• Sync provides different hard-sync oscillators, where each is a
combination of a master and a slave oscillator. The waveform of the
slave oscillator (sine, triangle, saw, or square) is reset with each full
wave cycle of the master oscillator.
The Shape parameter adjusts the pitch of the slave oscillator,
producing the typical sync sound.
• Cross provides a combination of 2 oscillators where a master oscillator
is modulating the pitch of a slave oscillator (sine, triangle, saw, or
square) at audio rate.
The Shape parameter adjusts the pitch ratio between slave and master
oscillator, resulting in a sound close to frequency modulation.
• XOR (exclusive OR) compares 2 square waveforms with an XOR
operation. Depending on the outcome of the XOR operation, the
waveform of a third oscillator (sine, triangle, saw, or square) is reset.
The Shape parameter adjusts the pitch ratio of the square oscillators
resulting in a sound close to ring modulation of the third oscillator.
• Multi is a multi oscillator that can play up to 8 oscillators simultaneously.
You can specify the number of oscillators in the No. value field. This
parameter can be set continuously. Values in between 2 integer values
mean that an additional oscillator is mixed in at a reduced level.
If the square waveform is selected, the Shape parameter controls the
pulse width, that is, the ratio between the high and low value of the
square wave. A setting of 50 % produces a pure square wave. With
settings below or above 50 %, the oscillator produces rectangular
waves.
Determines the initial phase of the oscillator when you play a note.
• If this is set to Free Phase, the oscillator runs freely and continuously.
• If this is set to Random Phase, the oscillator starts with a random
phase.
• If this is set to Fixed Phase, you can specify a fixed start phase (0-360°)
for the oscillator.
If the oscillator type is set to Multi, this parameter determines the number of
oscillators that play back simultaneously.
You can also set fractions of numbers. For example, with a setting of 2.5, you
hear 2 oscillators at full level and a third oscillator at half level.
