OSC selects the oscillator(s). The parameters right to this item are displayed accordingly. If more than one oscillator is selected, only the values of the first will be displayed, but the values of all selected will be changed.

WAV selects the waveform of the oscillator(s). available waveforms: OFF (none), TRI (triangle), SAW (sawtooth), T+S (tri+saw), PUL (pulse), P+T (pulse+tri), P+S (pulse+saw), SST (?saw+square+tri?), NOI (white noise)
Note: if a MOS 6581 is used, it is possible that on mixed waveforms the sound output is much lower or unhearable. This is due design bugs in the chip - the 8580 can handle mixed waveforms much better

S/R selects oscillator synchronisation and/or Ringmodulation. available parameters: — (no Sync, no Ringmod), SYN (synchronisation with previous oscillator), RIN (Ringmodulation with previous oscillator), R+S (ringmodulation and Synchronisation with previous oscillator)

Example:
* in the modulation matrix, enable LFO2 modulation for the Pitch of OSC1 → this is the S&H output
* set LFO2 to random mode, Rate=70, Depth doesn't matter
* set LFO1 to sine or random mode, and vary Rate and Depth

Wav selects the LFO Waveform. Values: off (none) Sin (sine) Tri (Triangle) Saw (Sawtooth) Pul (Pulse) Ran (Random)
Ana (Analog) is available as additional waveform if ENABLE_AIN_LFO_WAVEFORM is set to 1 in the setup_*.asm file

Cur (envelope curve) changes the linear course (value 0) of envelope to negative logarythmic (values –1 to –64) or positive logarythmic (values 1 to 63) course.

Cas (curve assign) assign the Cur values to the attack (A), decay (D) and/or release (R) phase of envelope

With E1, E2, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6 the modulation sources (envelopes and LFOs) can be assigned to the selected targets.

Pos selects wavetable entry. 32 steps available (0 to 31)
Note: select the step position ‚all’ to modify the parameters of a whole track at once. this speeds up the initialisation of a new WT sequence

Mod the mode (Ply: Play, Jmp: Jump, End end). #1, #2 and #3 are the parameters which are modified with every step. (to be defined detailed)

Rte the play rate (speed) of the wavetable,

CC1-3 the CC values which are modified by the wavetable sequencer
Note: since it's difficult to remember all available CC numbers, the CC parameter string will be displayed when you modify the number

P# (WT Pattern Number) allows you to select a wavetable of another patch on-the-fly without delay. This means, that you have a quick access to up to 128 sequencer patterns!

VCC (Velocity CC) defines wich CC number would be modified by Velocity

VIn (Velocity inital value)

VDp (Velocity depth)

MCC (Modulation CC) defines wich CC number would be modified by Modulation

Nte (note) played note (WT track 2)

#3 (Number 3) Third WT track

Res (filter resonance)

Mod (envelope 1 modulation depth)

Dec (envelope 1 decay)

303 enables the 303 bassline mode if activated

FIP (Filter cutoff interpolation) enables the interpolation of filter output curve, in order to smooth modifications of the CC#46 cutoff value.

E2P Envelope 2 controls the portamento. enables it to realize a constant time glide/slide using envelope 2.
Note: Best results can be achieved with Attack=rate, Decay/Sustain/Release=0, Curve > 32. This results into a shape which is similar to the charging/decharging curve of a capacitor. Try this with SusKey and Legato enabled.

E2V Envelope 2 controls the main volume (4bit).
Note: This possibility allows to replace the oscillator envelopes and helps to overcome the ADSR bug

GSA (gate stays active) with this option on, the gate of the oscillators will not be cleared anymore if a MIDI note has been released.
Note: This allows to control the amplitude envelope of a sound completely via filter or E2V modulation independent from the OSC ADSR release rate

Chn (MIDI channel)

Dev (device) slave pics can be selected here

Bnk (Bank) the BankStick (1 of up to 8) can be selected here

Pat (patch) patch number can be selected here

Nam (patch name)

Vol (main volume)

Ply (play mode)
Mono: all three voices are played with a single key. If multiple keys are pressed, the last pressed one will be played. Each new played key will retrigger the envelopes, LFOs (if Sync enabled) and Wavetable
Legato: similar to Mono mode, but envelopes/LFOs/Wavetable will only be triggered when no key was pressed before
Poly: each pressed key will be assigned to a free SID voice. Allows to play chords

SuK (sustain key) If enabled, portamento get's only active when at least two keys are pressed at the same time. Portamento will be bypassed when only a single note is pressed.

Clk (clock source for Wavetable+Arpeggios (W), LFO (L), ENV (E)) - W/L/E can be optionally clocked from an external MIDI clock master. Set the appr. flag in order to activate this function.

S1L S1U S2L S2U S3L S3U (Split Voice 1/2/3 Lower/Upper)

These entries allow to set lower and upper split points for the 3 SID voices in order to assign them to different (or overlapping) keyboard zones. This is the easiest way to play the voices seperately over a single MIDI channel (e.g. a simple 1-voice bassline, synthline and fx line).
Note that the transpose function within the OSC menu can be used to shift the octave ranges.
