Oscillator
The Oscillator component offers a useful 10 Hz to 20 kHz sine wave oscillator, with
100 Hz, 1 kHz, and 10 kHz presets, pink noise, and burst pink noise. It can be patched
into a system as and where needed and is convenient for calibration and diagnostic pur-
poses. Burst pink noise is also useful for auditioning reverb settings.
The Oscillator control window features a WAVEFORM section, frequency control sec-
tion, and output level control.
In addition to dragging the FREQ control, frequencies can be specified using the com-
puter keyboard. Simply select the value below the FREQ control using the mouse, enter
a value from the keyboard, and then press the Enter key. The new value is set and the
FREQ control moves to its new position.
The Oscillator component parameters are explained in the following table.

Note: When using the oscillator, be careful with volume levels—nobody likes sudden loud
noises, or worse, speaker damage.
