Oscillator
A single-voice synth on the wavetable engine, offering four waveforms (Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square) with pitch, glide, pitch bend, and an audio-rate FM/PM input whose depth and mode you control directly.
What it does
Oscillator is a synth: it turns notes into sound. It takes notes and audio in and gives audio out.
Try it
Patch a second Oscillator into the FM input and sweep FM depth for classic bell/metallic tones.
