Chapter 3: Fusion Modes
Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select
Parameter: Sync
Value Range: None, Osc 1, Osc 2, Osc 3, Ring Mod, Filter
Resets the phase of your oscillator in relation to the initial phase of
another Oscillator, Ring Mod, or Filter. This creates richer harmonic
content on your currently selected oscillator.
Note that you generally end up with better results if your current
oscillator is synced to another oscillator that is lower in pitch. If both
oscillators are at the same pitch (or close to one another), little or no
harmonics will be generated.
Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select
Parameter: Oscillator Reset
Value Range: On, Off
If set to "on" this parameter starts the oscillator from the beginning of
the waveform every time a voice is triggered. If set to "off " the
oscillator is free running and does not reset whenever a new voice is
triggered.
Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select
Parameter: FM Source
Value Range: None, Osc 1, Osc 2, Osc 3, Ring Mod, Filter
You can use a filter, ring mod, or another oscillator's waveform to
modulate the frequency of the current oscillator. The result is a more
complex waveform with richer harmonics.
Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select
Parameter: FM Amount
Value Range: 0-100%
Blend in any amount of the FM source. Higher percentages blend in
more of the FM source and create richer harmonics. Smaller
percentages blend in less of the FM source and leave a more pure tone
from your oscillator.
