HARMONICS: chord type.
TIMBRE: chord inversion and transposition.
MORPH: waveform. The first half of the knob goes through a selection of string-machine like raw
waveforms (different combinations of the organ and string "drawbars"), the second half of the knob scans
a small wavetable containing 16 waveforms.
AUX: root note of the chord.
Vowel and speech synthesis
A collection of speech synthesis algorithms.
HARMONICS: crossfades between formant filtering, SAM, and LPC vowels, then goes through several
banks of LPC words.
TIMBRE: species selection, from Daleks to chipmunks. How does it work? This parameter either shifts the
formants up or down independently of the pitch; or underclocks/overclocks the emulated LPC chip (with
appropriate compensation to keep the pitch unchanged).
MORPH: phoneme or word segment selection. When

intonation and the MORPH
AUX: unfiltered vocal cords' signal.
Granular cloud
A swarm of 8 enveloped sawtooth waves.
HARMONICS: amount of pitch randomization.
TIMBRE: grain density.
MORPH: grain duration and overlap. When this setting is fully CW, the grains merge into each other: the
result is a stack of eight randomly frequency-modulated waveforms.
AUX: variant with sine wave oscillators.
To get a nice "supersaw" waveform, try a moderate amount of pitch randomization and grain density, with
full grain overlap.
