4.1 Oscillators Section

The main source of waveforms in SPARK is controlled with the Oscillators section.
The a K controls the amplitude of the output signal of the Oscillator section. This

applies to both the mixed signal and the Sine output signal that goes directly to the Mixer
section.

The Static pW K you can use to further change the timbre of the Pulse signal. It controls

the static amount of the Pulse width of the Pulse oscillator. With the Knob set in its vertical
position, a symmetrical Pulse signal with only odd harmonics is generated. Turning the Static
pW K either to the right or to the left, the Pulse becomes more asymmetrical, adding even

harmonics to the spectrum. The difference between turning to the left or to the right can be
