Oscillator 2&3
WAVEFORMS OF OSCILLATORS 2&3: MENU PAGE 5 AND 9
The second and third oscillators have other waveforms available that differ from the first oscillator.
Since the following sub menus for both oscillators are the same, we will describe the function of
the second oscillator. Turn <Level1> and <Level3> to 0 and <Level2> to the maximum
volume. Now you can hear the different waveforms that are offered from oscillators 2 & 3. The
waveform selections of the second oscillator are on <WAVE-2> on the operating surface and on
menu page 5 of the oscillator edit menus. (Oscillator 3 -> menu page 9)
Here is the list of the waveforms for oscillator 2 & 3:

EXT-IN 1 AND EXT-IN 2*: PROCESSING EXTERNAL SIGNALS WITH THE SYNTHESIZER

*Ext-In 1 & 2 is provided only by the third oscillator. With this function you can let any external
sound source go through the filter and effects of the POLYMORPH. Simply connect an audio
source like a CD-Player or a second synthesizer to the Inputs 1 and 2 of the POLYMORPH.
Now you can select this audio signal as Ext-In 1 or Ext-In 2 like a normal waveform of the third
Oscillator and can be processed the same way by the synthesis and the effects of the
POLYMORPH. The only exception are of course the parameters for the pitch of the internal
oscillators (like TUNE and GLIDE) which are not available for external signals.
Note: The Ext-In 1 & 2 are designed for line level. If you want to use a microphone, you need an
additional preamplifier.
INTERVAL OF OSCILLATORS 2 & 3: MENU PAGE 6 AND 10
On menu pages 6 and 10 you can de-tune oscillators 2 & 3 against the first oscillator in semitone
steps. To understand this better turn the first two oscillators <WAVE> completely to the left. In
addition turn <LEVEL> from both of the oscillators completely to the right. When you call up
menu page 6, the semitone intervals are located on the value dial.
The same goes for the third oscillator:
You can also change the intervals on the user surface. <TUNE> of oscillators 2 and 3 provides the
de-tuning in semitone steps left and right from the de-tuning area.
FINE-TUNING OF OSCILLATORS 2 & 3: MENU PAGE 7 AND 11
On menu page 7 and 11 you can fine-tune the oscillators 2 & 3. The fine-tuning is suitable for
creating a fatter sound. (Some oscillator waveforms offer detuned basic sounds. With these
modulated wave table waveforms a second oscillator is not needed to produce a detuned sound.)
