CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 404
Osc Coarse Frequency (Coarse) The relationship between oscillator frequency and note
pitch is dened by the Coarse and Fine parameters. Coarse sets the ratio in whole numbers,
creating a harmonic relationship.
Osc Fine Frequency (Fine) The relationship between oscillator frequency and note pitch
is dened by the Coarse and Fine parameters. Fine sets the ratio in fractions of whole
numbers, creating an inharmonic relationship.
Osc Fixed Frequency On (Fixed) In Fixed Mode, oscillators do not respond to note pitch
but instead play a xed frequency.
Osc Fixed Frequency (Freq) This is the frequency of the oscillator in Hertz. This frequency
is constant, regardless of note pitch.
Osc Fixed Multiplier (Multi) This is used to adjust the range of the xed frequency. Multiply
this value with the value of the oscillator's Freq knob to get actual frequency in Hz.
Osc Output Level (Level) This sets the output level of the oscillator. If this oscillator is
modulating another, its level has signicant inuence on the resulting timbre. Higher levels
usually create bright and/or noisy sounds.
Envelope / Oscillator Switches These switches toggle the display between the oscillator's
envelope and its harmonics editor.
16/32/64 These switches set the number of partials that are available for user editing.
Osc Waveform (Wave) Choose from a collection of carefully selected waveforms. You can
then edit them via the harmonics editor.
Osc Feedback (Feedback) An oscillator can modulate itself if it is not modulated by another
oscillator. The modulation is dependent not only on the setting of the feedback control but
also on the oscillator level and the envelope. Higher feedback creates a more complex
resulting waveform.
Osc Phase (Phase) This sets the initial phase of the oscillator. The range represents one
whole cycle.
Retrigger (R) When enabled, the oscillator restarts at the same position in its phase each
time a note is triggered. With R disabled, the oscillator is free-running.
Repeat Higher harmonics can be generated by repeating the drawn partials with a gradual
fadeout, based on the settings in the Repeat chooser. Low Repeat values result in a
