Tip! The one-operator algorithm can be used to produce a perfect sine-wave, if the T
(feedback) is set to zero.

IGITAL WAVEFORM CATEGORY
This category features 77 different digital waveforms with various tonal characteristics. The wave-
forms have been carefully designed and selected to provide rich and interesting timbres with a great
variety, for those exquisite sounds that could not be produced with the other algorithms. Advanced
wavetable synthesis techniques have been used to reproduce the waveforms perfectly over the whole
keyboard range.
Some waveforms have a number of peaks high up in the spectrum, making them suitable for voice-
like sounds (e.g. 3, 7, 8, 12), while others are combinations of several overlapping spectra (e.g. 5, 6,
18, 19). Yet others are extremely bright, with a fundamental that is softer than the many harmonics
(e.g. 21, 23, 26, 27). Using these waveforms with the different filters and the Synth EQ, you should
be able to create a wide variety of timbres. The T

OD NVELOPE
The Modulation Envelope is a simple two-stage envelope used to modulate the tone col-
our over the duration of a note, e.g. create a bright attack by modulating the filter in the
start of the note. The Mod Envelope has three modes:
• Attack - Decay (ignoring key release)
• Attack - full sustain - Release
• Repeat mode: Attack - Decay - Attack - Decay - Attack - etc. In this the Mod Enve-
lope acts as an LFO with shapeable waveform.
The Mod Envelope can control the Filter Frequency and the Timbre parameters. The
amount of modulation is set with the F
