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.

synced to

Oscillator 2

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 Slop: 0...5

—The amount of random oscillator frequency tuning slop.

The analog oscillators in Mopho are very accurate, and will not drift. This works
great for accurate sounds, and allows precise de-tuning. Oscillator Slop allows
subtle amounts of frequency drift. For larger amounts, use a random LFO or
white noise mod.
