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
