The number before each command shows its ENTER +
number-key shortcut. For more information on these
shortcuts, see "ENTER + 0-9: shortcuts for menu
commands" on page 138.

4–2a: Sub Oscillator
The Sub Oscillator plays exactly one octave below
Oscillator 1. All Oscillator 1 pitch mod effects the Sub
Oscillator as well.
Waveform
This selects the basic waveform of the Sub-Oscillator.
The Triangle waveform's amplitude is three times that
of the square, to compensate for the difference in
perceived loudness. This means that similar Level
settings at the mixer result in similar amounts of
"boom."
Note that this is different from Oscillator 1's Triangle
wave. In Oscillator 1, the Triangle amplitude is the
same as that of the other waveforms, resulting in a
lower perceived volume (just like on classic analog
synths).
4–2b: Ring Modulator
The Ring Modulator has its own input to the Mixer
section. The default volume is 0, so to hear it, you'll
need to turn it up!
When the frequencies of the Carrier and the
Modulator are the same, the Ring Modulator produces
steady, constant waveforms. When the two are
detuned, it produces more movement and overtones.

• 1: Exclusive Solo. For more information, see
Note that FM, Sync, and Ring Mod can all be used
simultaneously.

Mode
This selects between four different variations of ring
modulation.
Ring Mod produces the traditional ring modulation
effect.
AM includes both the traditional ring modulation
effect and the dry signal of the Carrier input.
Rectify means that any negative parts of the
Modulator's waveform are flipped around to be
positive instead. If the Modulator is a square wave,
this mode sounds pretty much like just listening to the
Carrier alone.
Clipped means that the Modulator input is clipped
before going into the Ring Mod, so that any negative
parts of the waveform are chopped off and thrown
away.
Modulator
This selects the modulator source for the Ring
Modulator. Rectify and Clip, above, both affect the
Modulator signal.

"Exclusive Solo" on page 138.
Even though the oscillators themselves have
extremely low aliasing, Ring Mod can produce
aliasing - especially at higher frequencies.
