Soft Knob Parameter Meaning<br />

#1 Index Adjust Index to sweep through the wavetable.<br />

#2 F-Shift This determines how far the formants are shifted in semitones. When set to<br />

+0, the formants are tuned to C3 (middle C). Radical pitch-shifting and sync<br />

effects are possible by sweeping this parameter.<br />

#3 Osc Balance This determines the balance between the outputs of Oscillator 1 and<br />

Oscillator 2. At centre position (default), you will hear both oscillators. Adjust<br />

towards -64 to hear just the output of Oscillator 1, and towards +63 to hear<br />

just the output of Oscillator 2.<br />

OSC 2 Menu<br />

Press this button to enter the menu for Oscillator 2. Nearly all of the parameters for are the same as those<br />

of Oscillator 1, so here we will focus solely on the difference, which is the parameter displayed in HyperSaw<br />

mode for Value 3.<br />

Don’t forget to set Osc Balance (OSC1 Menu) to +0 or higher if you want to hear the effects of these parameters!<br />

••<br />

Value 3 (Classic, Wavetable, Grain and Formant modes)<br />

FM Amount: FM is an abbreviation of Frequency Modulation, a process by which the frequency (pitch)<br />

Oscillator 2 is modulated by the frequency of Oscillator 1. The resulting effect is often a dramatic distortion<br />

of the affected oscillator, but there are also ‘sweet-spots’ to be found, where the effect is more subtle and<br />

harmonious.<br />

Experiment with different values for Osc1 and 2 Semitone and FM Amount - for old-skool sci-fi effects, try<br />

setting Osc1 Semitone to the lowest possible value. If you want a purer, less distorted sound, use a sine<br />

wave for both oscillators.<br />

Value 3 (HyperSaw mode)<br />

Sync: Use Sync to sweep the pitch of the HyperSaw’s internal sync oscillator.
