Creating Original Waveforms For The Oscillator (Osc Draw) - Roland S-1 Owner's Manual

Creating original waveforms for the oscillator (OSC DRAW)

You can use a square wave oscillator to generate original waveforms.
* Pulse width modulation (PWM) is not applied.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [5] (OSC DRAW).
2. Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select a parameter, and then press pad [2] (ENTER).
3. Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value.
Parameter Value Explanation
Set this to STEP or SLOPE to use your original waveform.
OFF,
You can adjust the volume with the square wave level knob.
StEP,
The illustration below is an example when using the default waveform.
SLPE
OFF: Square wave
StEP (STEP): Staircase (stepped) waveform
Sľ
(Switch)
SLPE (SLOPE): Sloped waveform
You can also edit the values by turning the OSCILLATOR [
holding down the [SHIFT] button.
--- You can create original waveforms by dividing a single waveform cycle into 16 steps and individually
editing the volume for each step.
How to create original waveforms (when ForN is shown on the display)
1.
ForN
(Form)
2.
Hold down a pad from [1] to [16] corresponding to the step you want to edit, and adjust the step's
level with the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob.
The wave height value (from -100 to 100) is shown in the display while you press the [1]–[16] pads.
The pads blink when their value is negative, go dark when their value is zero, and light up when their value is
positive.
For values within ±50, the pads blink or light up dimly.
To exit, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [1] (EXIT).
The display returns to the parameter selection screen.
