Oscillators - Dave Smith Instruments Sequential PROPHET X User Manual

Oscillators

Oscillators provide the raw building blocks of the Prophet X's sound
(along with the sampled instruments) by producing waveforms, each
of which has its own inherent sound character based on its harmonic
content. The Prophet X has two digital oscillators per voice.
Oscillators 1 and 2 are capable of generating sine, sawtooth, pulse, and
super sawtooth waves. You can vary the "pulse width" of these wave-
shapes using the
different waveshapes and timbres. The
thickness/detuning of the super sawtooth wave.
The digital oscillators on the Prophet X are extremely stable. To emulate the
random pitch drift and oscillator instability of vintage instruments, use the
parameter to dial in as little or as much drift as you like.

Oscillator 1 can be hard-synced to Oscillator 2 using the
for harmonically-complex sounds when modulated. Both oscillators
feature a
fine tune
You can force either or both of the oscillators to start its wave cycle from its
beginning (its zero crossing) each time you press a note on the keyboard by setting
to
wave reset on
very consistent sound each time you trigger them.
