The Mixer - Arturia Minimoog V User Manual

Each of these oscillators can produce different waveforms which are selected using the
knob on the right. The first two generate, from left to right, a triangle, an asymmetric
triangle, a descending sawtooth, a square, asymmetric square and impulse. The third
oscillator replaces the asymmetric triangle with an ascending sawtooth. By right clicking
on these selectors, it is possible to adjust the impulse width of certain waveforms:
Square, rectangular, impulse, triangle and asymmetric triangle. If the waveform is again
modified, the impulse width will go back to its default value.
The choice of range for these oscillators can be set with «Range» knobs on the left. From
the left to right are the positions: Low, 32, 16, 8, 4, and 2, the third oscillator adds the
LowMono position at the extreme left.
The «Low» position corresponds to a very low frequency mode, the position «LowMono»
on the third oscillator adds a monophonic function. In this mode, the oscillator will
generate the same signal irrespective of the note played, unlike the «Low» mode where
it generates a different signal for each of the notes in polyphonic mode.
The other positions of this knob correspond to the range, the 8 position being the
position without transposition, positions 4 and 2, respectively 1 and 2 octaves above,
positions 16 and 32 respectively 1 and 2 octaves below.
Oscillators 2 and 3 can equally be fine tuned with the central «Frequency» knob. By left-
clicking with the mouse on the knob, the setting is done by semi-tone, by up or down an
octave, while when right-clicked, it is possible to tune it in a continuous manner, by more
or less a semi-tone. By double clicking on this knob, it is possible to set it to its default
value, which is to say tuned.
The central «Sync» switch synchronizes oscillator 2 with oscillator 1. In this position, it is
the tuning of oscillator 1 which will be evident while oscillator 2 will bring and modify the
harmonics heard.
The «Osc. 3 Control» switch is for activating and deactivating the command of oscillator
3 by the keyboard.
The «Oscillator Modulation» switch modulates oscillators 1,2 and 3 via oscillator 3 with
an amplitude depending on the modulation wheel. If we don't want to have oscillator 3
modulate itself, we need to deactivate the switch.
