Sub Page
The Sub page contains the settings for the sub oscillator and the noise oscillator.
Sub Oscillator Section
- Type
-
The wave shape of the sub oscillator. You can choose between Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square, Pulse Wide, and Pulse Narrow.
- Retrigger Mode
-
-
If Free Phase is selected, the behavior of analog synthesizers is emulated. The oscillator is running freely and continuously.
-
If Random Phase is selected, the start phase is randomly set to a different value each time that you trigger a note. In contrast to Free Phase, there is no continuity in the phase of the waveform.
-
If Fixed Phase is selected, the oscillator runs with a fixed start phase that can be specified between 0 and 360 degrees.
-
- Level
-
Adjusts the output level of the sub oscillator.
- Pan
-
Adjusts the position of the oscillator in the stereo panorama. At a setting of -100 %, the sound is panned hard left, and at +100 %, it is panned hard right.
Noise Oscillator Section
The noise oscillator offers you a large amount of different noise types that can be used to add inharmonic frequencies to the overall spectrum, either for the entire sound, with looped noises or with one-shot noise samples. This allows you to add characteristic transients to percussive instruments based on samples, for example.
- Noise Type
-
This pop-up menu offers you a choice of classic noises, attack transients, soundscapes, and ambience noise samples.
- Level
-
Adjusts the output level of the noise oscillator.
- Sync
-
Activate Sync to synchronize the speed of the noise oscillator to the host tempo. This is particularly useful for rhythmic noises that are based on a tempo of 120 BPM.
- Pan
-
Determines the position of the noise in the stereo panorama. At a setting of -100 %, the sound is panned hard left, and at +100 %, it is panned hard right.
- Follow Pitch
-
If Follow Pitch is activated, zone pitch settings like Octave, Coarse, and Fine, as well as modulations like Glide, Pitchbend, or other pitch modulations, affect the duration length. A higher sample pitch leads to a shorter duration.
If Follow Pitch is deactivated, the duration is independent of the zone pitch and determined by the Duration settings.
- Loop
-
Activate this button to play the noise sample in a loop.
If this button is not activated, the sample is played once.
- Speed
-
Adjusts the playback speed of the noise sample. A setting of 800.0 % equals an increase of three octaves in pitch.
- Speed Key Follow
-
Allows you to adjust the speed modulation by MIDI note number. At a setting of +100 %, the speed doubles per octave.
- Start
-
Adjusts the start of the noise sample. With a value of 50 %, playback starts in the middle of the sample.
- Random Start
-
Selects a random playback start within a specific range around the current position.
At a setting of 100 %, the playback position jumps to a random position between the specified Start value and the end of the noise sample.
