mix (osc mix): Balance between oscillator 1 and 2.
nois (noise): Noise level.
sub (sub osc): Sub oscillator/transient generator level.
wave (waveform): Sub oscillator/transient generator waveform (see below).
xmod (crossmod): Cross-modulation method used to combine the sound of oscillators 1 and 2.
amnt (amount): Cross-modulation amount.
fuzz: Amount of overdrive/fuzz applied to the signal.
crsh (crush): Amount of sample rate reduction (sometimes known as bitcrushing) applied to the
signal.
Here is a list of sub-oscillator/transient generator waveforms. The first 6 settings correspond to the
sub-oscillator, which is an oscillator of its own, playing always one or two octave lower than the
oscillator 1. The next settings disable the sub-oscillator and enable various flavors of transient
generators, which will produce a short, clicky sound at the beginning of the note:
sq1 square sub-oscillator, 1 octave below osc. 1
tr1 triangle sub-oscillator, 1 octave below osc. 1
pl1 25% pulse sub-oscillator, 1 octave below osc. 1
sq2 square sub-oscillator, 2 octaves below osc. 1
tr2 triangle sub-oscillator, 2 octaves below osc. 1
pl2 25% pulse sub-oscillator, 2 octaves below osc. 1
click produces a discrete click which can emphasizes the percussiveness of a note.
glitch produces a sound similar to that of a skipping CD.
blow is a burst of noise with a slow attack.
metal adds a metallic sounding, high-pitched click.
pop adds a low-pitched discontinuity, useful for spicing up a kick drum.
The crossmod parameter controls how oscillator 1 and oscillator 2 are blended together. The
different modulation modes are:
