The Modulation Oscillator (Osc)
Sampler features one dedicated modulation oscillator per voice, which can perform frequency
or amplitude modulation (FM or AM) on the multisample. The oscillator is fully featured, with
21 waveforms (available in the Type chooser), plus its own loopable amplitude envelope for
dynamic waveshaping. Note that this oscillator performs modulation only — its output is never
heard directly. What you hear is the effect of its output upon the multisample.
FM — In this mode, the modulation oscillator will modulate the frequency of samples, resulting in
more complex and different-sounding waveforms.
AM — In this mode, the modulation oscillator will modulate the amplitude of samples. Subsonic
modulator frequencies result in slow or rapid variation in the volume level; audible modulator
frequencies result in composite waveforms.
