8.3.8 OSC 2 LEVEL FADER

The OSC 2 LEVEL fader controls the LEVEL of the OSC 2 SQUARE waveform. The
level setting can be used to adjust balance between OSC 1 and OSC 2.
OSC 2 LEVEL
0FF
-12.0 dB
0.0 dB
The balance between OSC 1 and and OSC 2 when when used together allows you
to increase the sonic palette of the program. Combing oscillators can be done to
create new waveforms and the harmonic structure of the program. By slightly
detuning the oscillators you can create bigger, thicker sounds. Detuning in small
and equal increments will not make a noticeable diff erence to the base pitch of
the sound, but as you increase the amount of detuning it will start to become
noticeable. Detuning can be done in musical intervals e.g. a fi fth, or a seventh,
to add harmony to a pad sound or even an entire octave to give a bass program a
deeper sound.
The OSC 2 LEVEL can be set to Off , or its operational range is from -48 to 0.0 dB.
The default OSC 2 LEVEL setting is 0ff .
The fader position, current value and stored value for the OSC 2 LEVEL fader
is shown on the PROG screen. There is also a visualization of the waveform as
shown below.
Note: It is important to note that the visualization shows the combination of OSC
1 and OSC 2.

8.3.9 OSC SYNC SWITCH

ON=SYNC ACTIVE
This switch controls the synchronisation of the OSCs.
The OSC 1 pitch is set by the keys that you play, and the OSC 2 pitch may be tuned
to (or detuned from) this frequency. By applying hard synchronisation of OSC 2 to
OSC1, every time the OSC 1 cycle starts again, the OSC 2 will be re-triggered,
regardless of its position. If OSC 2 is tuned to a lower frequency than OSC 1 it will
be re-triggered before it completes an entire cycle, and if it is tuned to a higher
frequency it will be re-triggered during a later cycle. This ensures that the OSCs
are playing at the same frequency, however the irregular cycle of OSC 2 can create
complex timbres and rich harmonies.
