This screen contains 6 parameters that determine the fundamental sound of the
voice being edited — including the number of the waveform on which the voice will
be based.

VOICE EDIT MODE / 1:Oscillator
Wave
Range: P001 … P244, I00 … I63, C00 … C63
Controls: [CS1], [-1] [+1], Dial
Selects the wave (AWM waveform) to be used in the current voice. Use the
[INTERNAL 1], [INTERNAL 2], and [CARD] keys to select the memory area
from which the wave is to be selected. Please note that when SIMM memory is
wave memory installed, wave data can not be loaded into memory from a
waveform card. A complete listing of the internal waves is given in the Appen-
dix, on page 310.
Mode
Range: fix, norm
Controls: [CS4], [-1] [+1], Dial
Determines whether the selected wave is reproduced in the normal (variable
pitch) or fixed-pitch mode.
Normally you want the pitch of the AWM wave (or waves) used in a voice
to be controllable from a keyboard or other type of controller, in which case
the “norm” mode should be selected. In some cases — sound effects in particu-
lar — you might want the same pitch to be produced no matter what note you
play on the keyboard or other controller. In this case, the “fix” mode is appro-
priate. The Note parameter described below can be used to set the note pro-
duced when the “fix” mode is selected.
Fine
Range: -63 … 0 … +63
Controls: [CS5], [-1] [+1], Dial
Allows fine tuning of the selected AWM wave. Each increment corresponds
to approximately 1.17 cents (a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone) so the lowest
setting (-63) shifts the pitch down by almost three quarters of a semitone, while
the highest setting (+63) shifts the pitch up by the same amount. A setting of
“+0” produces standard concert pitch (A3 = 440 Hertz).
