Description
This contains numerous harmonics. It can be used as the basis for most
instrumental sounds. It is particularly suitable for brass instruments and
string instruments (such as violin or piano).
This contains a rich array of odd-numbered harmonics. It is suitable as
the basic sound material for woodwinds and percussion instruments
(such as clarinet or xylophone).
This contains relatively fewer harmonics. It is suitable as the material
for woodwind sounds (such as recorder or flute).
This is the simplest waveform. It contains no harmonics at all, and
sounds like whistling.
This is a trapezoidal waveform that is similar to a pulse wave.
This is a modified sawtooth wave found on Roland's JUNO synthe-
sizer. It has a brighter sound than the conventional "SAW" waveform.
This is a high-quality sawtooth waveform that is free of the aliasing
noise that can be a problem on digital synthesizers. If you select HQ-
SAW, the Sub OSC, Pulse Width, and Fat parameters will be unavail-
able.
This is a high-quality square waveform that is free of the aliasing noise
that can be a problem on digital synthesizers. If you select HQ-
SQUARE, the Sub OSC and Fat parameters will be unavailable.
This is white noise. You can use it to create the noise component of a
sound.
This simulates a waveform used in the LA (Linear Arithmetic) sound
generator of the Roland D-50. It has a milder sound than the conven-
tional "SAW" waveform.
This simulates a waveform used in the LA (Linear Arithmetic) sound
generator of the Roland D-50. It has a milder sound than the conven-
tional "SQUARE" waveform.
This is an intensified simulation of a feature found on the Roland JP-
8000/JP-8080. It is the sound of seven sawtooth waves played simul-
taneously. A pitch-shifted sound is added to the center. This is suitable
for creating rich sounds such as string-type sounds.
This is an intensified simulation of a feature found on the Roland JP-
8000/JP-8080. It is a sound that simulates guitar feedback. It is suit-
able for creating sharply aggressive sounds.
This is an intensified simulation of a feature found on the Roland JP-
8000/JP-8080. It uses the OSC2 waveform to modulate the frequency
of OSC1.
