FREE (wave icon) = The pitch of the oscillator can be set freely with no synchronisation.The 4 oscillators also have 3 synchronisation modes: Set 'SYNCHRONISATION MODE' to 'FREE' and the 'FREQ' knob to maximum to generate white noise.
With these controls a wide selection of random signals and colours of noise can be generated. The 'COARSE / FREQ / LENGTH' knob sets the frequency of the randomly generated values. The random signal output is 'shaped' according to the setting of the 'WAVE' control. The 'WARP' control sets the transition slope between values (fully anticlockwise = stepped transitions).
ASYM (Asymmetry) = Squishes the waveform from the middle to the edge in a linear fashion for 'Pulse Width Modulation' style effects.BEND- = Bends the waveform out towards the edges.BEND+ = Bends the waveform to one side.(Note: there is no overlap between the Synth Bundle and the Blocks Bundle, all included blocks are exclusive to this bundle.)Įach of the 4 oscillators features a 'Warp' control that bends the waveform in 8 ways: The polyphony can be increased by increasing the blocks' polyphony setting in the inspector when the blocks are loaded in ensemble mode. Monophonic output ports can be connected to polyphonic input ports, so you can for example connect a monophonic signal from the free pack oscillator to the polyphonic A&B modulation input ports of the Polyphonic Mini Synth.Īll polyphonic blocks are set to 5 note polyphony by default. There are also various utility blocks to convert polyphonic output signals to monophonic signals, for example the polyphonic mixer has a monophonic output that can be used to mix polyphonic voices down to a monophonic signal. Polyphonic output ports can be connected to monophonic input ports and vice versa. The polyphonic blocks feature special polyphonic ports denoted by a light grey circle around the edge of the port. The synths feature versatile internal modulations and are designed to be integrated with the other packs for expanded modulation and effects routing. The bundle includes a sophisticated PIANO ROLL block with extensive editing and modulation functions and a suite of polyphonic utility and modulation blocks to augment and expand the polyphonic functionalities of the synths. A collection of powerful monophonic and polyphonic synthesisers in 'Blocks' format.
