Osc Balance
OSC 2 Menu
Press this button to enter the menu for Oscillator 2. Nearly all of the parameters for are the same as those
of Oscillator 1, so here we will focus solely on the difference, which is the parameter displayed in HyperSaw
mode for Value 3.
Don't forget to set Osc Balance (OSC1 Menu) to +0 or higher if you want to hear the effects of these param-
eters!

Value 3 (Classic, Wavetable, Grain and Formant modes)
FM Amount: FM is an abbreviation of Frequency Modulation, a process by which the frequency (pitch)
Oscillator 2 is modulated by the frequency of Oscillator 1. The resulting effect is often a dramatic distortion
of the affected oscillator, but there are also 'sweet-spots' to be found, where the effect is more subtle and
harmonious.
Experiment with different values for Osc1 and 2 Semitone and FM Amount - for old-skool sci-fi effects, try
setting Osc1 Semitone to the lowest possible value. If you want a purer, less distorted sound, use a sine
wave for both oscillators.

Value 3 (HyperSaw mode)
Sync: Use Sync to sweep the pitch of the HyperSaw's internal sync oscillator.
Meaning
Adjust Index to sweep through the wavetable.
This determines how far the formants are shifted in semitones. When set to
+0, the formants are tuned to C3 (middle C). Radical pitch-shifting and sync
effects are possible by sweeping this parameter.
This determines the balance between the outputs of Oscillator 1 and
Oscillator 2. At centre position (default), you will hear both oscillators. Adjust
towards -64 to hear just the output of Oscillator 1, and towards +63 to hear
just the output of Oscillator 2.
