the overall pitch, and if you change the oscillator pitch, this will create changes in timbre rather than in
pitch.

If you let the synchronized oscillator pitch vary continuously, from an LFO or other modulator, you will
change the timbre of the wave in a very interesting and characteristic way.

The maximum amount of modulation that a module (with one exception) can accept is +/–64 units from
the initial setting of the parameter. The exception to this behaviour are all the Filter frequencies with a
mod-input. These can accept +/–128 units of modulation. The modulation amount is the sum of all
modulation appearing at the modulation inputs.
Let us use the Master Oscillator module as an example: there are two pitch modulation inputs and the
KBT function (see
puts can not be greater than +/–64 semitones. If you turn the coarse tuning down to e.g. E0, add a trans-
pose value of +64 with a Constant module to the first pitch-mod input, you will reach a point, when
playing on the keyboard, where the pitch of the oscillator will be fixed. Any additional, positive modula-
tion will have no effect, which could lead to interesting effects. For example, an LFO would be able to
modulate the pitch of the oscillator downwards, but not upwards.
