Sub Oscillator

The pitch of the sub oscillator is always one octave below the overall pitch of the wavetable zone. If you modulate the pitch of the wavetable zone, the pitch of the sub oscillator follows.

On/Off

Activates/Deactivates the sub oscillator.

Type

Determines the wave shape of the sub oscillator. You can choose Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square, Pulse Wide, or Pulse Narrow.

Retrigger Mode

Allows you to decide whether the sub oscillator runs freely, with a random phase each time a note is triggered, or with an adjustable start phase.

  • 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 by setting it to a value 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.
