3.2. Core Sound Controls
This is the main synth section of Acid V, replicating the monophonic sound engine of the
TB-303.
3.2.1. Waveform
Simply a toggle switch, this selects a buzzy sawtooth wave or more hollow square wave.
On the original hardware, this switch was found on the rear panel.
3.2.2. Pitch
This knob sets the base pitch of the oscillator. It's bipolar, and ranges from -12 to +12
semitones. At its default position of 12 o'clock, middle A = 440Hz.
3.2.3. Cutoff
This knob controls the cutoff frequency of the 24dB-per-octave resonant filter.
3.2.4. Resonance
We've modeled the original 303's resonance precisely, and Acid V can get very squelchy
indeed! Turn this knob up to see what we mean.
