The Oscillator Module
Beside the Wave modules, Nave offers an additional
Oscillator module to create typical analog waveforms.
w
You can use this additional oscillator as sub oscil-
lator in addition to the wavetable oscillators.
Shape Tri/ Pulse/ Saw/ Noise Types
Tap on the corresponding symbol to select the desired
waveform. The following waveforms are available:
• Triangle selects the triangle waveform. The triangle
mainly consists of the odd harmonics with very low
magnitudes.
• Pulse selects the pulse waveform. A pulse wave-
form with a pulse width of 50% has only the odd
harmonics of the fundamental frequency present.
This waveform produces a hollow / metallic sound.
If the Pulse waveform is selected, the parameter
Pulsewidth
is used to change the pulsewidth of the
waveform.
• Saw selects the sawtooth waveform. A Sawtooth
wave has all the harmonics of the fundamental fre-
quency in descending magnitude.
• White Noise is a fundamental source for any kind of
analog-type percussion. It offers the same level over
the complete frequency range. Also, wind and other
sound effects can be created by using noise.
• Pink Noise – This special kind of noise produces
higher levels in the deeper frequency range. It mat-
ches more with the human hearing as the unfiltered
white noise.
