SUPPORT INFORMATION
Delay Freeze: The delay freeze function turns the Super 6's delay effect
into a basic looper, allowing you to create sound-on-sound loops you can
play along with.
Detune Spread: In super mode, this parameter determines the degree to
which the six 'sister' oscillators of DDS 1 are detuned and stereo spread
relative to DDS 1's centroid oscillator.
Direct Digital Synthesis Oscillator (DDS): Direct Digital Synthesis is the
signal generation method employed by both oscillator cores of the Super
6. At its centre is a clock signal running three orders of magnitude higher
than typical audio sample rates. This clock increments a counter through
thousands of indices in your chosen waveform, generating samples once
every 20-billionths of a second and interpolating between them. Each
numerically controlled oscillator then uses its own DAC, also running at the
same high sample rate, to convert the samples to analog voltages before
being filtered by a preliminary analog low-pass filtering stage.
Drive: This parameter determines the degree to which the input signal
of the Super 6's filter circuitry is overdriven. Its three settings allow you
to choose between a pure signal, a gentle level-boost with resonance
compensation and a hard saturation.
Envelope (ENV): An envelope is a modulation source that defines how
the signal or parameter it modulates evolves over time. Most envelope
generators contain four stages that allow you to define the envelope's
shape: attack, decay, sustain and release (ADSR). The Super 6's envelopes
also feature a decay hold stage that determines the time it takes for the
decay stage to begin after the attack stage reached its peak. In addition,
the first envelope features an attack hold stage that determines the time it
takes for the attack stage to begin after hitting a key.
High-Pass Filter (HPF): A high-pass filter subtracts frequency content
below its cutoff frequency. The frequency content above the cutoff
frequency remains unaffected, meaning the highs will pass through. Use
this type of filter to make sounds thinner or brighter by reducing bass
frequencies.
Keyboard Tracking (KEYTRACK, TRK, NOTE): Keyboard tracking is
a type of modulation that uses the MIDI note number as a modulation
source. Whatever is tied to keyboard tracking will respond relative to the
pitch of the notes you play. In the modulation matrix of the desktop model,
keyboard tracking is freely assignable via the NOTE button.
Left-Right Phase (LR PHASE): This parameter controls the left-right
channel phase relationship of the Super 6's binaural sound engine, in other
words the effect of LFO 1 on the stereo field.
Loop: A loop is essentially a repetition of a recording or shape, meaning
once the end is reached, whatever is looped will start all over again. The
Super 6 features a loop option for the first envelope and also allows you to
create loops with the Delay Freeze function.
