TIMBRE:
index of the most prominent harmonic. This control is somewhat similar to the cutoff frequency
of a band-pass filter.
MORPH:
bump shape – from flat and wide to peaked and narrow. This control is somewhat similar to the
resonance of a band-pass filter.
AUX:
variant including only the subset of harmonics present in the drawbars of a Hammond organ
(frequency ratios of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12).
Wavetable oscillator
Four banks of 8x8 waveforms, accessed by row and column, with or without interpolation.
HARMONICS:
bank selection. 4 interpolated banks followed by the same 4 banks, in reverse order,
without interpolation.
Bank A: harmonically poor waveforms obtained by additive synthesis (sine harmonics, drawbar organ
waveforms).
Bank B: harmonically rich waveforms obtained by formant synthesis or waveshaping.
Bank C: wavetables from the Shruthi-1 / Ambika, sampled from classic wavetable or ROM playback synths.
Bank D: a joyous semi-random permutation of waveforms from the other 3 banks.
TIMBRE:
row index. Within a row, the waves are sorted by spectral brightness (except for bank D which is
a mess!).
MORPH:
column index.
AUX:
low-fi (5-bit) output.
Chords
Four-note chords, played by virtual analogue or wavetable oscillators. The virtual analogue oscillators
emulate the stack of harmonically-related square or sawtooth waveforms generated by vintage
string&organ machines.
