This produces a waveform with strong formants, suitable for voice-like sounds. This waveform produces a metallic timbre, suitable for a variety of sounds. This waveform is suitable for bowed string sounds, like violin or cello. This waveform is rich in harmonics and suitable for steel string guitar-type sounds. This waveform is good for emulating mallet instruments such as marimba. Another waveform suitable for mallet-type sounds (see 23-24), but has a brighter quality, good for vibraphone-type sounds. 532 SUBTRACTOR SYNTHESIZER (RECORD+REASON) | Waveform | Description 28 29 30 31 32 Similar to 27, but with a slightly different character. This waveform has complex, enharmonic overtones, suitable for metallic bell-type sounds. By using FM and setting the Osc Mix to Osc 1, this and the following two waveforms can produce noise. Similar to 30, but with a slightly different character. Setting Oscillator 1 Frequency - Octave/Semitone/Cent By clicking the corresponding up/down buttons you can tune, i. e. change the frequency of Oscillator 1 in three ways: D In Octave steps The range is 0 - 9. The default setting is 4 (where "A" above middle "C" on your keyboard generates 440 Hz). D In Semitone steps Allows you to raise the frequency in 12 semitone steps (1 octave). D In Cent steps (100th of a semitone) The range is -50 to 50 (down or up half a semitone). Oscillator Keyboard Tracking Oscillator 1 has a button named "Kbd. If this is switched off, the oscillator pitch will remain constant, regardless of any incoming note pitch messages, although the oscillator still reacts to note on/off messages. This can be useful for certain applications: D When Frequency Modulation (FM - see "Frequency Modulation (FM)") or Ring Modulation (see "Ring Modulation") is used. This produces enharmonic sounds with very varying timbre across the keyboard. D For special effects and non-pitched sounds (like drums or percussion) that should sound the same across the keyboard. Using Oscillator 2 You activate Osc 2 by clicking the button next to the text "Osc 2". Setting oscillator frequency and keyboard tracking is identical to Oscillator 1. SUBTRACTOR SYNTHESIZER (RECORD+REASON) 533 Adding a second oscillator enables many new modulation possibilities which can produce richer timbres. A basic example is to slightly detune (+/­ a few cents) one of the oscillators. This slight frequency offset causes the oscillators to "beat" against each other, producing a wider and richer sound. Also, by combining two different waveforms, and adding frequency or ring modulation, many new timbres can be created. Oscillator Mix The Osc Mix knob determines the output balance between Osc 1 and Osc 2. To be able to clearly hear both oscillators, the "Osc Mix" knob should be set somewhere around the center position. If you turn the Mix knob fully to the left, only Osc 1 will be heard, and vice versa. [Command]/[Ctrl]-clicking the knob sets the Mix parameter to center position. Oscillator 2 Waveform The waveform alternatives for Oscillator 2 are identical to those of Oscillator 1. However, the Noise Generator provides a third sound generating source (in addition to the two oscillators) in Subtractor, and could be regarded as an "extra" waveform for Oscillator 2, as it is internally routed to the Oscillator 2 output.
