Tone Operator is capable of producing timbres with very high frequencies, which can
sometimes lead to aliasing artifacts. The Tone setting controls the high frequency content
of sounds. Higher settings are typically brighter but also more likely to produce aliasing.
Volume This sets the overall volume of the instrument.
Algorithm An oscillator can modulate other oscillators, be modulated by other oscillators,
or both. The algorithm denes the connections between the oscillators and therefore has a
signicant impact on the sound that is created.
Voices This sets the maximum number of notes that can sound simultaneously. If more
notes than available voices are requested, the oldest notes will be cut off.
Retrigger (R) When enabled, notes that are enabled will be retriggered, rather than gen-
erating an additional voice.
Interpolation This toggles the interpolation algorithm of the oscillators and the LFO. If
turned off, some timbres will sound more rough, especially the noise waveform. Turning
this off will also save some CPU power.
Antialias This toggles Operator's high-quality antialias mode, which helps to minimize
high-frequency distortion. Disabling this modes reduces the CPU load.
Time<Key The rates of all envelopes can be controlled by note pitch. If the global
Time<Key parameter is set to higher values, the envelopes run faster when higher notes are
played.
Pitch Bend Range (PB Range) This denes the effect of MIDI pitch bend messages.
Pan Use this to adjust the panorama of each note. This is especially useful when modulated
with clip envelopes.
Pan<Key (Key) If Pan<Key is set to higher values, low notes will pan relatively more to the
left channel, and higher notes to the right. Typically this is used for piano-like sounds.
Pan<Random (Rnd) This denes the extent to which notes are randomly distributed be-
tween the left and right channels.
