DETUNE
Detunes the third oscillator relatively to the first. With this parameter, you can dial in everything from
slight deviations in pitch to major fluctuations relatively to the other oscillators.
OSCILLATORS PHASE INIT
This feature lets you select the oscillator phase position at the start of a note. At a value of 0, all
oscillators oscillate freely much like in a traditional analog synthesizer. At values of 1 and higher,
Oscillator 1 starts the note with a phase angle of 0, whereas the phase position of the second oscil-
lator is shifted increasingly at ascending values. The Phase position of Oscillator 3 is shifted to the
opposite direction. With this parameter, the attack phase of every note is identical, which is a handy
feature for programming drums and percussive sounds. In conjunction with Oscillator 3 and PHASE
INIT, you can create prominent overtones that are initiated at the beginning of a note.

WAVE
Switches the waveshape of the SubOscillator between SQUARE and TRIANGLE.

RINGMODULATOR VOLUME
The ring modulator multiplies the output of both Oscillator 1 and 2 to create interesting sounds with
rich enharmonic overtones. These overtones are highly dependent on the frequency coherence of
both oscillators and it's waveforms. The frequency coherence can be changed, for instance use the
