The tables below list KVA oscillators by type and function block size. Before setting an
oscillator, you must choose an algorithm which includes a block that matches the block size
for the oscillator that you wish to use. See
The Wiring Algorithm (ALG) Page
for more on selecting algorithms. Once you have picked an algorithm
with the desired block size, highlight the block and use the Alpha Wheel to scroll through
the available functions until you find the desired oscillator.
The SYNC SQUARE oscillator is an 8 block oscillator that requires the use of two layers (4
blocks each) and the Alt Input feature of cascade mode. See below for details on setting up
the Sync Square oscillator.
Note: If you put more than one oscillator in an algorithm, you will only hear the
output of the last oscillator in the algorithm, unless an algorithm is used to route the
earlier oscillator around the last oscillator and into a MIX function block, or if the
last oscillator processes its audio input.

Setting Up The Sync Square Oscillator
The Sync Square oscillator is actually comprised of two oscillators, a master and a slave, set
up to emulate the way sync square oscillators worked on classic analog synthesizers. To create
a program using Sync Square, select Program 998 Editor Template. Select “none” on the
KEYMAP page. Select “user” on the AMPENV page for an amp envelope. On the ALG
page, select Algorithm 5 at the top of the page. Use the cursor buttons to select the function
block and use the alpha wheel to select the “SYNC SQUARE (master) >>” function. Next,
