A6 components) fit into the Program/Mix concept. With this as a foundation, we’re
now ready to explore the VCOs from a hands-on functional perspective.
OSCILLATOR PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
The following two tables summarize the Pages of parameters for the Andromeda’s
two oscillators. Notice that most of the parameters are present in both VCOs. Where
there are differences, the manual will specify “OSC 1 Only” (
FMMOD parameters) or
“OSC 2 Only” (
SYNC parameters) in the sub-title.
OSC 1 Parameters
SOFT KNOB
PAGE TAB
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
TUNE SEMI CENTS FINE 1PITCH
WAVE SQUARE WIDTH LEVEL SAW TRI SINE FILTFM
ENV1 ENABLE OFFSET LEVEL LIVE
Parameters for OSC 2. See next table.
OSC2FM LINFM EXPFM PWM ASSIGN OSC2FM
NZEXT* SOURCE LINFM1 EXPFM1 PWM1 EXPFM2 PWM2
MODS
When this page is selected, the screen displays a summary table listing the five
modulations for
OSC 1. and shows different page tabs allowing access to any of the
modulations. A press of soft button
1 (<<BACK) from the MODS page will return to the
TUNE page and parameters shown above. See page 111 for details.
OSC 2 Parameters
SOFT KNOB
PAGE TAB
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
TUNE SEMI CENTS FINE 1PITCH SYNC
WAVE SQUARE WIDTH LEVEL SAW TRI SINE FILTFM
ENV1
Parameters for OSC 1. See table above.
LIVE LEVEL OFFSET ENABLE
NZEXT* SOURCE LINFM1 EXPFM1 PWM1 EXPFM2 PWM2
MODS
When this page is selected, the screen displays a table listing the four modulations for
OSC 2 just like OSC 1 above. See page 111 for details.
* NOTE: the NZEXT page is shared between the two oscillators—there aren't two
external/noise sources.
