Analog Synths
Fine
+/- 100. This sets the fine tuning of the oscillator, in cents (1/100 of a semitone).
Key Track
+/- 100. This sets the way in which the oscillator's pitch tracks MIDI notes, centered
on E4.
100 is normal tracking, with one octave of MIDI notes resulting in one octave of
pitch change. With Key Track set to 50, two octaves of MIDI notes will map to only
a single octave of pitch change; at 25, four octaves of MIDI notes will map to a
single octave of pitch change, and so on.
Negative Key Track settings flip the keyboard upside down, centered on MIDI note
E4. For instance, a setting of -100 means that one octave of MIDI notes up results in
one octave down in pitch.
Waveform
Sawtooth, Pulse, Triangle. This selects the shape of oscillator 2. If Pulse is selected,
the Pulse Width control, below, sets the width of the pulse.
Pulse Width
0.0-100.0. This sets the width of the pulse waveform, as a percentage of the full
waveform cycle. 50.0 produces a square wave, smaller amounts produce a
waveform with a shorter "up" time, and greater amounts produce a waveform
with a longer "up" time, as shown below. For a diagram, see the figure "Pulse
Width," above. Pulse width can also be modulated via the LFO.
Mixer
Osc 1
0-100. This controls the output level of oscillator 1. The button to the right of the
knob turns the output on and off completely.
Osc 2
0-100. This controls the output level of oscillator 2. The button to the right of the
knob turns the output on and off completely.
Ring Mod
0-100. This controls the output level of the ring modulator. The button to the right
of the knob turns the output on and off completely.
The ring modulator multiplies the outputs of oscillator 1 and oscillator 2 together,
creating a metallic sound. The timbre will change dramatically depending on the
difference in pitch between the two oscillators. Oscillator 2's fine tuning, especially
when modulated, can be used to create all sorts of interesting effects. The classic
ring modulation sound uses a constant pitch, so you may also want to set Oscillator
2's key tracking to 0.
