oscillators have more than 500 times over-sampling
at lowest quality setting, signals (audio and modulation) run at least twice as fast as the host application's sample rate
fine shift
reset dc
mw is supported
rc control to lock it
output dark
input light
to change outputs, right-click on the output and drag it to a different output
to change colour, click on the input end
____________________________vco
frequency ranges from 0 hz to 20 khz
with transpose set to -12 (default value) C3 produces C2 note (circa 65hz)
frequency has a range of 0.00 to 24.00
semi 24 semitones above the current pitch
partial 24 overtones; octaves are at 1.00, 3.00, 7.00, 15.00
subhrm first 24 subharmonics
hertz hertz
sync sync to song tempo (1.0 is a whole note, 4.0 a quarter note etc.)
modifier has a range of -50.00 to +50.00
cents plus/minus 1 semitone
5hz plus/minus 5hz
beats detune is synced to song
mtply frequency is multiplied/divided from 0 to 50
frequency modulation amount (below frequency)
cents plus/minus 1 semitone
5 semi plus/minus 5 semitone
50 semi plus/minus 50 semitone
when no connection is made, the control work as a regular knob
reset off random phase
on fixed phase
pw range from 0% to 100%
vibrato control both vcos vibrato; hardwired to lfo1
ring control cross-fades between vco2 and ring modulation (between vco1 and vco2)
sync control sync amount; vco2 is synced to vco1; set sync to maximum for hard sync; vco2 pitch is normally set higher than vco1
and modulated by an envelope or lfo
cross control cross modulation amount; vco1 cross mod vco2
____________________________lfo
lfo 1 vibrato
lfo2 pw, cutoff
frequency ranges from 0 hz to 20 khz
lfo1 normally generates a pure sine wave; connect another oscillator to phase modulation input for classic fm
reset off free not reset, runs continuously (monophonic)
gate per-voice reset whenever a note is played (polyphonic)
if anything is connected to s&h input, lfo1 switches into sample & hold mode and samples the input at its own clock speed; for
vintage random effects, connect noise; the phase knob becomes a lag processor
____________________________vcf
vcf1 default input is mix output
vcf2 default input is vco2
gain control input level (when negative) and overdrive (when positive)
vcf1 cutoff frequency is measured in semitones from 0.00 to 150.00; modulation range is plus/minus 150 semitones
vcf2 cutoff has 3 modes and bipolar control
cutoff like vcf1, but bipolar
offset cutoff follows vcf1 (including any modulation) but shifted negative/positive
spread like offset, but also shift vcf1 cutoff in the opposite direction
____________________________envelopes
adsr1 vca
adsr2 vco frequencies, cutoff, lfo2 lvl
fall/rise causes the normally flat sustain to fall or rise at a defined rate; use negative values for fall and positive values for rise; the
lower the value, the slower the env
velocity
rate modulate envelope rates (attack, decay and release)
level modulate the overall adsr level
snap makes decay and release more snappy
ramp generator (trapezoid envelope)
up attack time
hold hold time at maximum
down decay time
rest rest time before repeat; if set to maximum, the ramp become an envelope; if set to minimum, the ramp become a
lfo

xpress
pressure
keyf-1 note number; pivots around E3 (midi note 64) so that lower notes can deliver negative values
keyf-2 same as keyf-1 but includes the glide2 offset

alternate toggles between +1V and -1V
stack stack index; use it to create offsets between stacked voices
mapper mapping generator
____________________________general
set mode to duo for duophonic
voices few 4 voices
medium 8 voices
many 16 voices
stack the number of voices played in unison (up to 8)
drift slightly detune voices against each other
glide
glide2 glide offset, applied to lfo2, vco2 and vcf2
range shift glide initial position closer to target note
____________________________fx
a chorus is a very fast delay periodically shortened and lengthened by a dedicated lfo
chorus 1 4-voice with triangle lfo
chorus 2 4-voice with sine lfo; more dramatic than chorus 1
chorus 3 8-voice; for lush ensemble effects
phaser
higher feedback values result in a very dramatic resonant or metallic (due to atonal phase shifting) effect
set depth to minimum for strong tonal coloration but no movement
to preserve the sound body, low bass content bypasses the effect
delay
spread controls stereo width
at 100 taps are hard panned to the left and right
at 0 taps are in the centre (mono)
at -100 taps are hard panned to the left and right but swapped
bass
treble
____________________________mapping generator
the mapping generator is a list of 128 editable values that can be used for various modulation purposes (eg. you can assign a
separate value to each midi note (0 to 127) so that each one sounds different)
map smooth and map quantise use a mapping source to scan through the map (eg. mw); in map smooth mode the values are
interpolated (for softer transitions) in map quantise mode the values are not interpolated
in increment mode, successive notes step through the map
in key mode map position depends on played notes
to draw a straight line hold ctrl
to select values hold shift
rc edit window for more editing tools
____________________________tweaks
slop adds slow random de-tuning
filter reset none transients may have a little analogue randomness
full reduces randomness by flushing the filter at the beginning of each note
full+click same as full, but with an extra strong transient at the start of each note
use this mode for self-oscillation
singing envs causes the envelope of a new voice to start at the current level of the stolen voice's envelope instead of at zero,
emulating the typical behaviour of classic analogue envelopes
ramp clock sets the maximum of the ramp generator stages
____________________________
to get a wide sound pan the two amplifiers apart and detune one (or both) oscillators
a small amount of white noise mixed into a pad patch can give the filters and chorus more frequencies to work with, making the
sound fuller
connect vcf1 to aux for filter feedback
