VPM
This engine is a VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) oscillator. The engine features a simple struc-
ture with one carrier and one modulator, but allows you to create a wide range of sounds.
Sixteen oscillator types are available for this VPM oscillator.

mod decay
shape mod int.

This selects the oscillator type to use.
The name of the oscillator type will be indicated on the MULTI ENGINE display.
For the last four types after Decay1, setting Shape Mod Int to "–100%" will disable com-

pletely the effect of the EG.
Sin1: A basic oscillator type, using a sine wave for both the carrier and modulator.
Sin2: Sine wave carrier and a modulator with self-feedback.
Sin3: Sine wave carrier with a 3x harmonics modulator.
Sin4: Sine wave carrier with 5x harmonics modulator.
Saw1: Modulated sawtooth carrier basic type.
Saw2: Carrier using a sine wave to simulate a sawtooth.
Squ1: Square wave carrier type.
Squ2: Carrier using a sine wave to simulate a square wave.
Fat1: 1/4 subharmonic modulator with self-feedback and driven carrier output, emphasizing the
lower harmonics.
Fat2: 3/4 subharmonic modulator with self-feedback and driven carrier output, emphasizing the
lower harmonics.
Air1: Noise-modulated sine wave carrier.
Air2: Sine wave carrier modulated by both noise and a sine wave.
Decay1: Type with decaying modulation amount.
You can edit the relative offsets of the internal EG decay time of the VPM (see block dia-

Decay2: Type with strong decaying modulation amount.
