Parameter of the Lector Synthesizer

The Lector synthesizer contains a 16 voices syntheiser
based on the Waldorf DNA with a lot of useful
parameters.

Lector offers two oscillators that nearly use the same
parameters for editing.

Oscillator Shape

Triangle / Sine / Pulse / Saw /

S & H / Noise / Sidechain /Sampleplayback

Click on a shape symbol of the corresponding oscillator to
select the desired waveform. The following shapes are
currently available:

Triangle selects the triangular waveform. The triangle
mainly consists of the odd harmonics with very low
magnitudes.

Sine consists of the fundamental frequency only. It
has no harmonics at all.

Pulse selects the pulse waveform. A pulse waveform
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 parameters
FM/PW

(only Osc 1) and PWM are used to change

the pulsewidth of the waveform.

Saw selects the sawtooth waveform. A Sawtooth
wave has all the harmonics of the fundamental
frequency in descending magnitude.

S & H (Sample & Hold) samples a random value and
holds it until the next value is generated.
