The Wave Menu Page

This is the heart of Nave. Nave offers two Wave modules
as well as an Oscillator module with up to eight oscilla-
tors.

An explanation of wavetable synthesis can be
found in the chapter "Sound Synthesis Basics".

Use the slip field to the left and right side of the
Wave menu page to switche between Wave module
1 and 2. The number above the Wave and Spectrum
parameter shows the selected wave module.

Detune

-50c...+50c

Fine-tunes the oscillator in steps of
1/100th of a semitone. The audible result
of detuned oscillators is a chorus or flan-
ger effect. Use a positive setting for one
oscillator and an equivalent negative
setting for another

A low value of ±1 results in a slow and soft flanger
effect.

Mid-ranged settings of ±5 are perfect for pads and
other fat sounding programs.

High values of ±12 or above will give a strong
detune that can be used for accordions or effect
sounds.

Semitone

-24...+24

Sets the pitch of the wavetable oscillator in
semitone steps. The standard setting for this
parameter is 0, but there are cases where
different values are interesting as well.
