2-1B: Osc2 - Korg M3 Owner's Manual

Parameter guide
Control2: Formant Offset
Moves the entire formant frequency spectrum upward or
downward. This is equivalent to changing the size of your
mouth. A setting of 0 produces the standard formant
locations.
When Waveform: Noise
Control1: Resonance
Adjusts the amount of resonance for the filter provided
within the noise oscillator. Higher values will emphasize the
frequency points for the pitched component within the
noise.
Control2: LPF/HPF Mix
[LPF, 002...063, CNT, 065...126, HPF]
Adjusts the mix balance between the low-pass and high-
pass filters; this will vary the brightness of the sound.
When Waveform: DWGS
Control1: ---
Control2: Wave Select
This provides various DWGS waveforms taken from
acoustic instruments and digital synthesizers. You can
choose one of 64 different DWGS waveforms.

*: The 48: Endless waveform simulates the "infinite
staircase" sound which produces the same perceived pitch
in each different octave. The "infinite staircase" produces
the sensation that you never get any higher, no matter how
long you continue playing the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D,
E, upward.
When Waveform: AudioIn
Control1: Gain
Adjusts the volume of the audio input.
Control2: Balance
Adjusts the balance between the L-channel (e.g., AUDIO
INPUT 1 jack) and R-channel (e.g., AUDIO INPUT 2 jack) of
the input signal selected by Audio In (Program 2-1a).

Note: If the P1: Program Basic page Unison setting (Program
1-1a) is On, certain parameters will automatically be set to
allow the input audio to be handled in stereo. In this case,
please note the following points.
• Regardless of the Balance (Control 2) setting, the signal
from AUX buses 1,3 or audio in 1 (L) will be fixed at
Balance=L001, and the signal from AUX buses 2,4 or
audio in 2 (R) will be fixed at Balance=R127.
• Regardless of the Number of Voices setting (Program 1-
1a), it will be fixed at two voices.
• If you set Spread (Program 1-1a) to 0, the Balance for
both the L-ch and the R-ch of the output will be C064
(Center). If you set Spread to 127, the L-ch and R-ch of
the oscillator output will be set to Balance of L001 and
R127 respectively.
2–1b: OSC2
These are the parameters for the oscillator 2 waveform.
Waveform (Oscillator2 Waveform)
[---]
[01...64]
Selects the waveform for oscillator 2.
This setting will affect the maximum number of voices.
Saw: Sawtooth wave is suitable for creating a broad range of
typical analog synthesizer sounds such as synth bass and
Name
synth brass.
Square: Square wave is suitable for electronic sounds or
woodwind sounds such as clarinet.
Tri: Triangle wave has fewer overtones and a stronger
fundamental than sawtooth wave or square wave. It is
suitable for mild bass sounds.
Sine: This is a sine wave.
OSC Mod (Oscillator Modulation Type)
Selects the oscillator modulation type.
Some settings may produce noise.
Off: The sound will be output without any modulation
being applied. You can adjust Semitone and Tune to
produce a spacious-sounding detune effect. For fuller synth
bass sounds, set the pitch of oscillator 1 and 2 one octave
apart.
Ring: This type of modulation generates frequencies at the
sum and difference of oscillators 1 and 2. You can adjust
Semitone and Tune to create metallic sounds with little
sense of pitch. This is useful for sound effects.
OSC2 Wave
OSC1 Wave
Sync: This type of modulation synchronizes oscillator 2 to
the phase of oscillator 1, forcibly resetting the phase of
oscillator 2. This is effective on lead synth sounds. Use
Semitone and Tune to adjust the overtones.
