noise: filtered noise generator
The parameter controls the frequency of a simple 1-pole low-pass/high-pass filter in
which is sent white noise. From 0 to 63, high-frequency content is progressively added.
From 63 to 127, low-frequency content is progressively removed. Perfect as a raw
material for percussions or sound effects.
vowel: low-tech formant synthesis
Changing the parameter will sweep between different vocal-like sounds (14 vowels and 2
consonants).
Wavetables
The remaining waveform families are wavetables — collection of single cycle waveforms,
synthetic or sampled from real instruments. The parameter is used to smoothly "scan"
the wavetable. For example, if a wavetable has 2 waveforms, parameter = 0 plays the first
waveform ; parameter = 127 plays the second ; and parameter = 64 plays a mix of both.
Wavetables can contain up to 16 waves.
male: Vocal formants, best played in the lowest octaves
female: Vocal formants, best played in the medium octaves
choir: Depeche mode-like vocal sound
