6.4.2. Offset mode

The second entry is the offset mode with the menu name 'Off'.
In this mode the start phase of the oscillators can be adjusted with the volume parameter. The
frequency parameter has no effect.
If the volume is set to zero, the oscillators will be reset to a zero crossing of the waveform on each
trigger. If the volume parameter is set to its maximum value, the waveform will start on the position
with the highest amplitude, generating a loud pop. This results in the volume parameter controlling
the intensity of the initial pop.

6.4.3. Sample mode

A short transient sample is mixed to the sound. They are short (~50ms) 8-bit ROM samples that are
played as a one shot whenever the sound is triggered. Different samples can be selected.

6.4.4. Parameters

The parameters of the transient generator include the PCM waveform to use, the playback
frequency and the volume. The ROM samples can't be changed by the user on the fly. They are hard
coded into the firmware.

6.5. Sample Rate Reduction

The sample rate reducer can gradually reduce the sample rate from 44kHz to zero. Reducing the
sample rate will give more of a lo-fi sound. The more it is reduced, the more odd harmonics will be
