VCO 1 / VCO 2 Blocks
The VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) modules 1 and 2 are where the basic sounds for
the PLG150-AN are generated. In these blocks, you can determine the waveform, its
pitch, and adjust the pulse width settings for the oscillator.
• VCO 1 WAVE
Settings: Available waves depend on the current
(on/off).
When SYNC is off:
Saw, Saw 2, Pulse, Mix, Multi Saw
When SYNC is on (set to "VCO 1 Master > Slave" or "VCO 2 > 1"):
Saw, Pulse, Inner1, Inner2, Inner3, Square, Noise
• Parameter settings in italics above can only be selected by using the DATA DEC/INC buttons.
This determines the waveform for the VCO 1 oscillator.
• The difference between saw/pulse Sync on and Sync off is only a slight nuance in sound
which becomes especially distinctive when the
Saw (Sawtooth)
The Saw (sawtooth) wave derives its name from its shape, and is used to create a
trumpet or violin sound. Since it contains all harmonics in the spectrum, it produces a
full, rich sound. When used with the
ics can raise the pitch to a maximum of a full octave.
