Waveform Creation
2
■ Instead of borrowing an external sound (sampling),
you can create one lull cycle of an original waveform.
Unlike sampled sounds, these original sounds are
very short, being only one full wave cycle in length.
Therefore, the normal procedure is to turn on the
LO O P ON/OFF muitisound parameter. This provides
a continuous waveform which you can then use much
like a sound source in any conventional analog syn­
thesizer.
■ The DSS-1 lets you create sounds in two ways: by ad-
ditive harmonic synthesis, and by "hand drawing."
• Difference between sampled sounds and created
sounds.

This is a digital re­
cording of a continu­
ous complex wave-
| form that can be re­
produced as an audi­
ble sound as is.
This is just one cycle
so you will not be
able to hear it as a
continous sound; it's
too short.
Turning on the loop
parameter lets you
hear it as a continu­
ou s signal.
