wave, higher values widen it. At the extreme values, the pulse goes completely
flat, which allows for some interesting possibilities with pulse width modulation.
Glide: 0...127
—Sets the oscillator glide (portamento) rate. Glide can be set
independently for each oscillator. Low values are faster. See also “Glide Mode”
in Other Oscillator Parameters.
Sub Octave: 0...127
—Controls the level of a square wave pitched one octave
below oscillator 1 or two octaves below oscillator 2.
Other Oscillator Parameters
These additional, less performance-oriented oscillator controls are found in the
Miscellaneous Parameters section.
Oscillator Sync: Off, On
—Turns oscillator hard sync on. With sync on,
whenever oscillator 2 resets, oscillator 1 is forced to restart.
Tip: Try routing an envelope or the mod wheel to oscillator 1 frequency
for the familiar sync sweep sound.
Oscillator 1 Keyboard Tracking: Off, On
—Turns keyboard tracking off or on
for oscillator 1.
Oscillator 2 Keyboard Tracking: Off, On
—Turns keyboard tracking off or on
for oscillator 2.
Oscillator 1 Wave Reset: Off, On
—When Wave Reset is off, the Mopho’s
oscillators are free running, which is how analog synths typically behave. That
is, the oscillators are running whether a note is being gated on or not. When the
amplifier envelope is set for a fast attack, this can cause a soft, but detectable,
pop or click at the beginning of a note because the note might be gated on at a
