appearing
in
sequence
of
time,
exampl
e:

of
time occurs as
music

-
horizontal.
l{hen
two

given
four
areas
in
which
to
create contrasts:
I,IAVEFORII
-
AI.IPLITUDE
-
FREQUENCY
.
ENVELOPE
1.
l,Javeform
-
mellow
vs. rich
/
odd harmonics
vs.
even harmonics,
etc.
Horizontal
-
rapid
changes can be
made
tvith the preset
Voices
or
gradual
changes can
be
made
l,ith
the
Harmonic Generator
sliders.
Vertical
-
create contrasting instruments
on
oscillator
l
and
oscillator
2
and
set
to
an
opposabl
e
pan
position
2.
Amplitude
-
loud
vs. soft,
Horizontal
-
use volume pedal
for
dynamjc
changes
Vertical
-
use
contrasting
intensities
on
osc
I
and
osc

Vojces.
3.
Frequency
-
high
vs.
low
/
pitched
vs,
non-pitched
(noise-modulated).
Horjzontal
-
change octaves
with
octave
Shifters, or
add noise modulatjon.
Vertical
-
use
contrasting
octaves
between
oscjllator
l
and
Oscillator
2,
tune Oscilla_
