15 Pro 2 Operation Manual Oscillators
Oscillators
Oscillators provide the raw building blocks of a synthesizer’s sound by
producing waveforms, each of which has its own inherent sound char-
acter based on its harmonic content. The Pro 2 has four oscillators (plus
a sub oscillator for oscillator 1). These are capable of generating clas-
sic analog waveforms (sine, triangle, sawtooth, square) as well as more
complex wavetable-derived wave shapes, different types of noise, and
super waves, which are stacked, detuned versions of the wave shapes.
Oscillator buttons 1-4 select an individual oscillator for editing.
To edit the same parameter on all 4 oscillators simultaneously, press and
briefly hold one of the oscillator select buttons. In this state, you can also use the soft
knobs in the OLED display to individually edit the same parameter on each oscillator.
To exit this mode, press any oscillator button.
