Osc Fine Frequency (Fine)- The relationship between oscillator frequency and note pitch
is dened 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 signicant inuence on the resulting timbre. Higher levels
usually create bright and/or noisy sounds.
Osc Waveform (Wave)- Choose from a collection of carefully selected waveforms, including
slight derivations of sine waves that are especially useful for creating emulations of vintage
digital hardware synthesizers.
Osc Phase (Phase)- This sets the initial phase of the oscillator. The range represents one
whole cycle.
Osc Frequency<Velocity (Osc<Vel)- The frequency of an oscillator can be modulated by
note velocity. Positive values raise the oscillator's pitch with greater velocities, and negative
values lower it.
Osc Freq<Vel Quantized (Q)- This allows quantizing the effect of the Frequency<Velocity
parameter. If activated, the sonic result is the same as manually changing the Coarse
parameter for each note.
Volume Envelope Rates<Velocity (Time<Vel)- This parameter exists for lter, pitch, LFO and
volume envelopes. It is therefore listed in the section on envelopes.
