p 0 to p99

Pulse Wave, with pulse width ranging to minimum (0) to
maximum (99). The pulse width will turn off at the two
extremes – this allows some interesting modulation
possibilities. A square wave will be around P50.

Level: 1 4 0…100 Sets the volume of Oscillator 1.

Glide: 1 1 S 0…100; F02…F99; OFF The oscillator 1 Glide rate; low numbers
are faster. Normal Glide covers the range from 1 to 100 (0 is no glide). A “fingered”
mode that only glides when more than one note is held down is selected by setting
glide over 100, where it ranges from F02 to F00 (equivalent to glides of 2 to 100).

Thought not quite Glide related, if you set glide all the way to maximum, it goes to
OFF, which has the effect of disconnecting oscillator 1 from MIDI.

Sync 2->1: 1 2 S Turns oscillator hard sync on or off. Whenever oscillator 2 resets,
it will also reset oscillator 1 for the classic hard sync sound.


Oscillator 2


Oscillator 2 is also an analog oscillator, and is hardwired to the Right channel.
Following are the controls for Oscillator 2:

Frequency: 1 5 C…C8 Selects base frequency over a 10 octave range, from 8
Hz to 8KHz, stepping in semitones. C3 is middle C, the first octave has no number (c ,
db , d …), the second octave is –1 (c -1, db-1, d -1…), the third is zero (c 0, db0,
d 0 …), etc.

Fine: 1 6 -50…+50 Fine Tune control; 0 centered. Steps in cents (50 cents = ½
semitone).
