Oscillator type list
WAVE FORM (Wave form)
This oscillator type provides two oscillators whose waveform
you can modify continuously. OSC EDIT2 adjusts the pitch of
oscillator 2 (i.e., the pitch difference relative to oscillator 1), letting
you create detuned sounds or octave-doubled sounds.

Waveform
WAVE .......................................... Saw, Pulse, Tri, Sin
Selects the basic waveform for the wave form oscillator.
Oscillator 1 and oscillator 2 will have the same waveform.
Saw: A sawtooth wave is the most widely used
waveform on an analog synthesizer. It is
suitable for creating a wide range of
sounds including synth basses and synth
leads. Adjusting the OSC EDIT1 value will
modify the waveform as shown in the il-
lustration below. At a setting of 0 the
waveform will be a standard sawtooth
wave, and at a setting of 127 it will be a
square wave.
Pulse: A pulse waveform produces a tone that is
often heard in electronic music. OSC
EDIT1 adjusts the pulse width. At a set-
ting of 0 the waveform will be a basic
square wave, and as you increase the set-
ting the pulse width will decrease, pro-
ducing a more clavi-like tone. At a setting
of 127 the pulse width will be 0, meaning
that there will be no sound. By selecting a
triangle wave as the modulation type and
applying modulation to OSC EDIT 1, you
can produce a PWM (Pulse Width Modu-
lation) effect, giving depth to the sound.
Tri: A triangle wave has a stronger fundamen-
tal and fewer overtones than a sawtooth
wave or pulse wave. It is suitable for mel-
low bass or arpeggiated sounds. Adjust-
ing the OSC EDIT1 value will modify the
waveform as shown in the illustration
below. At a setting of 0 the waveform will
be a basic triangle wave, and at a setting
of 127 it will be a triangle wave of one oc-
tave and a fifth higher.
Sin: A sine wave contains only the fundamen-
tal with no overtones, producing an ex-
tremely mild tone for which it is difficult
to hear the effect of subsequent filtering.
Adjusting the OSC EDIT1 value will
modify the waveform as shown in the il-
lustration below, changing the overtones
that are produced. At a setting of 0 the
waveform will be a basic sine wave.
OSC EDIT1: Waveform ..................................0...127
This continuously modifies the shape of the wave-
form. The waveform shape will change in the same
way for oscillator 1 and oscillator 2.

OSC EDIT2: OSC2Ptch .............................. -63...+63
This adjusts the pitch of oscillator 2. A value of ±63 cre-
ates a pitch difference of ±2 octaves, and a value of 47
creates a pitch difference of ±1 octave. For values in the
region of 0, only the sound of oscillator 1 will be output.
DUAL OSC (Dual oscillator)
This oscillator type provides two oscillators that output basic
waveforms. You can choose the combination of waveforms for
the two oscillators.

WAVE ......................................................................
twenty different combinations of Osc1 (Saw, Squ, Tri,
Sin) + Osc2 (Saw, Squ, Tri, Sin, Ns [=Noise])
OSC EDIT1: OSCBlnce...................................0...127
Adjusts the volume balance of oscillator 1 and oscillator
2. A setting of 0 outputs only oscillator 1, and a setting of
127 outputs only oscillator 2.
OSC EDIT2: OSC2Ptch .............................. -63...+63
Adjusts the pitch of oscillator 2. A value of ±63 creates a
pitch difference of ±2 octaves, and a value of 47 creates a
pitch difference of ±1 octave. With a value of 0, the pitch
will be the same as the pitch of oscillator 1.
