How Vector Synthesis works
(EN)
Unlike conventional synthesis, where oscillators are blended together to produce
the basis for a sound, Vector Synthesis allows the balance of four oscillators to be
continuously adjusted by both the joystick and using the mix envelope.
The timbre of the sound can thus be changed subtly or dramatically as you play,
depending on the waveforms you pick for each oscillator and how much mix
automation you use.
When the waveform mix joystick is in its central position all four oscillators have
equal precedence. Moving the joystick upwards will increase the level of oscillator
B while decreasing that of oscillator D; A and C remain the same. Equally moving it
to the left increases the level of oscillator A against C while not affecting B and D.
Therefore, for example, placing the joystick between A and B (North West)
would give an equal amount of each of these oscillators while C and D will
not contribute. Moving laterally to South East decreases A and B while increasing
C and D proportionally, until A and B are not heard.
The result is a sound that morphs within a 2D plane with the joystick movement,
mixed with the automation of the mix envelope.
