15. VCO WAVE – This switch determines the type of waveform created by
the VCO. The left position is TRIANGLE WAVE, the center position is OFF
(VCO mute) and the right position is SQUARE WAVE.
16. RING MOD SOURCE – This switch determines whether the Ring
Modulator is tracking the input signal or the VCO signal.
Each Ring Mod Source option imparts a different tonality to the ring
modulator sound as well as changing the response to the whammy
and glide functions. When set to INPUT, the harmonies created by the
Ring Mod will move in a contrapuntal fashion, against the VCO. When
set to VCO, the harmonies created by the ring mod will move in a
parallel fashion, with the VCO
17. GLIDE – This switch turns the portamento function on and off.
