How A Program Is Organized; Osc (Oscillator) Section; Wave Shape Section - Korg Prophecy Basic Manual

4. 1 How a program is organized
The programs of the Prophecy are organized as follows.
___...... Audto Signal
---- • Control Signal
• OSC (Oscillator) section
The Oscillator section creates the waveform, which is the most basic element determining the sound.
Oscillator 1
Oscillator 2
Seven types of tone generation (oscillator types* 1) are provided. You can select a combination of two
oscillator types (an Oscillator Set* 2), and make settings that specify the basic pitch and other aspects of
the oscillator.
Sub Oscillator
You can select one of 4 basic waveforms, and specify its pitch as an interval of semitones or cents from
the basic pitch. The same pitch modulation effect that applies to the Oscillator will be applied to the Sub
Oscillator. In the Mixer section, the signal of the Sub Oscillator is mixed with the signals from
Oscillators 1 and 2.
Noise Generator
This generates white noise. The signal from the Noise Generator is mixed by the Mixer section, in the
same way as the Sub Oscillator signal.
The OSC section also contains a pitch envelope generator (Pitch EG) used to control the pitch.
• Wave Shape section
The Wave Shape section uses a non-linear table to modify the waveform. The signals from Oscillators 1
and 2 are routed through the Wave Shape section, allowing you to apply effects such as clipping or
resonance to the signals.
