Oscillator Bank - CreamWare MINIMAX Klangbox Benutzerhandbuch

OSCILLATOR BANK

The oscillator bank has three osci-
llators. It is possible with each
oscillator, to adjust its octave ran-
ge as well as waveform. Oscilla-
tor 2 and 3 can further more be
detuned with the Frequency knob.
Because oscillator 3 can also be
used as a modulation source, it is
possible to separate it from the
keyboard's frequency input. The
oscillator then acts as an LFO
(Low Frequency Oscillator). You
can adjust its speed with Range
and Frequency. A button activa-
tes the oscillators pitch modulati-
on. An LFO is used as a modulation source and can control para-
meters such as cutoff for example. Because oscillator 3 modulates
much faster than an LFO, it is almost incorrect to call it an LFO.
Range
You can choose the oscillator octave's range. The adjustments are
Lo, 32, 16, 8, 4 and 2 where as the values 32' and 16' are best for
basses and values 8' and 4' best for lead sounds. If you would like
to use oscillator 3 as an LFO, then choose the value Lo.
Waveform
You can choose the oscillator's waveform. For each oscillator, the-
re is a choice of six waveforms, which are triangle, a mix between
Saw Wave and Triangle, an Ascending Saw Wave, Square, Wide
Pulse and Narrow Pulse. As a special feature, Oscillator 3 uses a
Seceding Saw Wave instead of a mix between Triangle and Saw
Wave.
Frequency
You can detune oscillator 2 and 3 with oscillator 1. The scale shows
the amount of detune in half tone steps with a maximum of 9 half
tone steps.
