You can use a square wave oscillator to generate original waveforms.

  • Pulse width modulation (PWM) is not applied.
  1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [5] (OSC DRAW).
  2. Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select a parameter, and then press pad [2] (ENTER).

  3. Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value.

    Explanation
    Sľ
     (Switch)    		 OFF, StEP, SLPE

    Set this to STEP or SLOPE to use your original waveform.
    You can adjust the volume with the square wave level knob.
    The illustration below is an example when using the default waveform.

    OFF: Square wave

    StEP (STEP): Staircase (stepped) waveform

    SLPE (SLOPE): Sloped waveform

    You can also edit the values by turning the OSCILLATOR [ (sawtooth wave level)] knob while holding down the [SHIFT] button.
    ForN
     (Form)    		 ---

    You can create original waveforms by dividing a single waveform cycle into 16 steps and individually editing the volume for each step.

    How to create original waveforms (when ForN is shown on the display)

    1. Hold down a pad from [1] to [16] corresponding to the step you want to edit, and adjust the step’s level with the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob.

      The wave height value (from -100 to 100) is shown in the display while you press the [1]–[16] pads.
      The pads blink when their value is negative, go dark when their value is zero, and light up when their value is positive.
      For values within ±50, the pads blink or light up dimly.

    2. To exit, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [1] (EXIT).

      The display returns to the parameter selection screen.
    NULt
    (Multiply)    		 1.0–32.0

    You can synchronize the waveform you created with the ForN parameter to a single wavelength while increasing the playback speed (pitch) to generate sound.
    With a 1.0 value, the waveform you created is as long as a single wavelength.
    The larger the value, the more that the waveform gradually begins repeating from both sides within a single wavelength, while the playback speed (pitch) of the waveform you created increases.
    Each time the setting value is increased from 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 16.0, and 32.0 increases the pitch by one octave.
    With higher note frequencies, increasing the Multiply value too much may cause noise.
    If this happens, reduce the Multiply value or play the note at a lower octave.

    1.0

    1.5

    2.0

    You can also edit the value by turning the OSCILLATOR [ (square wave level)] knob while holding down the [SHIFT] button.
