Creating sounds
You can combine the sounds of OSC 1 and OSC 2 to create more complex sounds.
fig.MIX-TYPE-button
This button selects how OSC 1 and OSC 2 are to be combined.
Press the button to light the indicator for the desired combination.
Pressing the button successively cycles you through the settings in this order: MIX –> SYNC –> RING –> MIX –> ... .
• MIX
The sounds of OSC 1 and OSC 2 will be heard together.
You can create a rich sound by slightly shifting the pitch of the two oscillators or by layering different waveforms.
• SYNC (oscillator sync)
OSC 1 will be forced to restart its cycle in synchronization with the beginning of each OSC 2 cycle, generating a
complex waveform.
This is effective when the OSC 1 pitch is higher than the OSC 2 pitch.

• RING (ring modulator)
OSC 1 and OSC 2 will be multiplied to create a complex, metallic-sounding tone reminiscent of a bell.
It will be easier to produce a ring modulator effect if you set OSC 1 and OSC 2 to different pitches.
