Primary Parameters
The primary parameters are listed below, these are the building blocks for manipulating the waveshape. Each of the primary parameters can be modulated in various ways with respect to the output of other internal channels, as well as CV inputs.
Waveform
Adjust the waveform of the given channel. The available waveforms are listed in the table below:
Waveform | Description | Morph To/Fn. | Image |
---|---|---|---|
Sin | Sine | Exponential | |
Tan | Tangent | Linear | |
Tri | Triangle | Sawtooth | |
Squ | Square | Duty cycle | |
Rand | Random | Slew | |
Env | Envelope | Attack Skew Decay | |
Step | Stair Step | Number of Steps | |
In | Inputs | Mix CV inputs | |
Out | Outputs | Mix other outputs | + = |
Frequency
Adjusts the Frequency
of the given channel. Frequency can either be Synchronized
(relative to the BPM) or Desynchronized
. When synchronized the maximum and minimum frequencies are BPM * 128
and BPM / 128
respectively and when desynchronized they are 128Hz
and 1mHz
. When operating in Trigger Mode
and Desynchronized
the unit changes to seconds.
The frequency is disabled in certain circumstances:
- When the
Input
orOutput
waveform is selected
💡 LONG HOLD FREQ - to switch between Synchronized or Desychronized modes |
Amplitude
Adjusts the Amplitude
of a given channel. The full-scale of the output equals an amplitude of 100%. When in Bipolar
or Polar
modes an amplitude of 100% represents a -5.0V to +5.0V
and 0.0V to +5.0V
voltage range respectively. When the Quantizer
is active the representation changes from percentage to octaves, in this case Bipolar
and Polar
modes represents a 0 to 10
and 0 to 5
octave range respectively.
From version 0.5.0
the Amplitude
ranges from -100% to +100%. When the amplitude is negative the output is inverted
. This feature also is applied to the modulation, but can be configured:
- Inversion Modulation
POS
: Positive modulation only - modulation output will range from 0% to 100%. No inversion is applied.INV
: Inversion modulation - allows the modulation output to range from -100% to 100%, in which inversion can be applied.
Offset
Adjusts the Offset
of a given channel. At a value of 0 there is no offset being applied, e.g. the waveform is generated within the middle of the amplitude range. At a value of +50 the waveform is generated at the top of the amplitude range, and a value of -50 the waveform is generated at the bottom of the amplitude range.
Morph
The Morph
parameter varies depending on the waveform and adjusts the shape of the waveform accordingly. See the above waveform table for details about how the morph effects each waveform shape.
Mix
The Mix
parameter is available when using the In
or Out
waveforms and is accessible via the Morph
parameter button. Mix
allows mixing between the different waveforms available - mixing between adjacent sources. The horizontal bar indicates the amount of mixing between the currently selected source, and the neighboring source.
For example when using the In
waveform, and you have CV2
selected, when the horizontal bar is toward the left, then you are mixing toward CV1
, when the horizontal bar is toward the right then you are mixing toward CV3
, when no horizontal bar is present then no mixing is taking place.
Attack, Skew and Decay
The Attack
, Skew
and Decay
parameters are available when using the Env
waveform and are accessible by using via the Morph
parameter button. These parameters control the envelope characteristics.
💡 LONG HOLD MOR - to switch between components of the Envelope waveform - Attack, Skew and Decay. |
Phase
The Phase
parameter allows periodic waveforms to be phase locked to varying degrees, or not locked at all. When the phase is locked any adjustment to frequency will cause the phase to be recalculated (this can cause visual discontinuities in the waveform which is normal).
The phase is disabled in certain circumstances:
- When
Frequency
modulation is active - When the
Input
orOutput
waveform is selected
