Audio / Inputs as an Oscillator Waveform

In left/right, in right or in left, are automatically available when a physical line in is connected.

An audio sample can be used as the oscillator source. A series of sample specific options are available in the sound editor when SAMPLE is selected.

A wavetable file can be assigned to the oscillator source to create a wavetable synth. The main parameter is the wave position used by the oscillator. Navigation function of the wave is accessed in the oscillator options or via the keyboard shortcut.

Wavetable navigation set per Osc. Available when Type is Wavetable.

The ability to use a standard audio sample as an oscillator is also possible. While single cycles are also useful here, they are better applied in a wavetable synth.

Using a sample as an oscillator waveform source

  1. Press Clip to select clip view. This is indicated by the clip button illuminated blue.
  2. Select synth by pressing Synth if not already selected. The synth button illuminates red.
  3. Press Shift + Type as quick access shortcut for OSC 1 or 2. Alternatively use the nested menu options by pressing SelectSelect and navigating to ‘TYPE’.
