Oscillator A&B
Apart from a few small differences,
oscillators A & B are largely identical.
Both have sawtooth and pulse wave-
forms, and oscillator B has an additio-
nal triangle wave. Each oscillator wa-
veform has its own dedicated on/off button and all of them can be
active at the same time, which allows a mix of up to five waveforms
in parallel. The pulse wave has a variable width which can be adju-
sted manually or via modulation - full width produces a fat 'square
wave' sound, while more narrow settings create a thinner, more
nasal tone. In addition, oscillator B can operate in a lower frequency
band which allows you to use it as a typical LFO (low frequency
oscillator). If oscillator B is used as a modulation source, you can
disable its keyboard tracking to make it produce a fixed pitch. The
pitch of oscillator A can be synchronized with oscillator B, which
creates some interesting timbres.
Frequency (both oscillators)
Each oscillator has a basic frequency (tuning / pitch) control which
operates in semitone steps over a five-octave range.
Fine (oscillator B)
Oscillator B has its own fine tuning knob with a range of one semito-
ne. Detuning oscillator B slightly and mixing it with oscillator A pro-
duces a characteristic 'beating' effect - this instantly recognisable
analogue synthesizer sound helps make their sound rich and vi-
brant.
Sawtooth wave button (both oscillators)
Switches the oscillators' sawtooth wave on and off.
