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.
