gentle (for percussive sounds) or to make them start more quickly (for sounds with slow attacks). The number of
available offsets will vary depending on the specific Multisample.
If no alternate start points are available, this will show n/a.
Channel
[Stereo, Left, Right, n/a]
This applies to stereo Multisamples only; for mono Multisamples, "n/a" is shown. You can choose whether to use the
original Stereo signal, or only the Left or Right channels (in mono).
Morph
Morph Type
[List of Morph Types]
The Morph Types let you stretch, squeeze, reflect, and otherwise alter the Wavetables in real-time, changing their
timbre and—when modulated—creating additional motion in the sound.
When the Oscillator Mode is set to Sample, the Morph Type options are limited. For Oscillator 1, Morph is completely
unavailable. For Oscillator 2, only AM and Ring Mod are available.
None: The Wavetable is played unaltered.
Sync: The Wavetable is reset by a phantom oscillator, creating the classic sync sound. Morph Amount controls the
frequency of the phantom oscillator.
Windowed Sync: Similar to Sync above, but with reduced high frequencies for lower aliasing.
Stretch: The waveform is stretched in one direction and squeezed in the other, creating an effect similar to Pulse Width
Modulation. When Morph Amount is set to 50, the waveform is unaltered.
Flip: This inverts the polarity of a section of the waveform, with the "flip" point determined by Morph Amount.
Mirror: Shrinks the waveform to half its length, and then reflects that half-length waveform around the center as a
mirror image. Morph Amount stretches and squeezes the waveform similar to Stretch, above.
Mirror Stretch: This is similar to Mirror, above, but doubles the Stretch effect.
Narrow: As Morph Amount increases, the waveform is compressed towards the front, with zeros filling the rest of the
duty cycle. The effect is different from Stretch, but also has some similarities to Pulse Width Modulation.
Narrow Stretch: This combines Narrow and Stretch, compressing the waveform's length while also stretching and
squeezing.
Windowed Narrow: Similar to Narrow above, but with reduced high frequencies for lower aliasing.
W.NarrowStretch: Similar to Narrow Stretch above, but with reduced high frequencies for lower aliasing.
Additional Osc 2 Morph Types
Osc 2 supports all of the Morph Types listed above, and three more: FM, AM, and Ring Mod. For all of these, Oscillator
1 is the modulator, and Oscillator 2 is the carrier. If you're using Oscillator 1 solely as a modulator, you may wish to set
its Level to 0%.
Note: when using these Morph Types, the waveform graphic will be an approximation.
FM: Oscillator 1 modulates the frequency of Oscillator 2. Morph Amount controls the amount of frequency
modulation.
AM, or amplitude modulation, includes both ring modulation, as below, and the dry signal from Oscillator 2. Morph
Amount controls the amount of amplitude modulation.
Ring Mod combines the two Oscillators to generate new sideband frequencies based on those inputs. The result can be
everything from subtle brightening to wild, dissonant, gong-like timbres. When the frequencies of Oscillators 1 and
2 are the same, the Ring Modulator produces steady, constant waveforms. When they are detuned, it produces more
movement and overtones. Morph Amount controls the amount of ring modulation.
Morph (Amount)
[0.00...100.00]
This controls the intensity of the Morph process, as described above.
LFO (Intensity)
[-100.00...+100.00]
This sets the intensity of the Morph modulation from the Osc 1 LFO (for Osc 1) or the Osc 2 LFO (for Osc 2).
