It also has a tuning range switch, with a fine tune mode for more precise melodic uses, an LFO mode, which reduces the oscillator speed for use as a non-audible modulation source, and a broad ‘all’ range mode. Version one featured a square/sine sub oscillator, but here that has been upgraded to an independently tuneable oscillator with saw, square and triangle shapes. The Osc 1 section also gains a glide rotary, for adding up to three seconds of portamento, plus an FM rotary for modulating Osc 1’s pitch, which is routed by default to the second oscillator. The difference here is that these modifiers can now each be modulated with considerably more flexibility either via pre-routed connections to the LFOs/modulators or via whatever you decide to feed in through the patchbay. Finally, the square wave features a pulse width control.
The triangle wave features a Metalizer function, which ‘folds’ the triangle waveshape for a more metallic quality. The saw is accompanied by an Ultrasaw mode, which mixes in two phase-shifted copies of the saw waveform. Each wave type also has a modifier control, for more detailed and unusual wave-shaping. As before, the primary oscillator can generate saw, triangle and square waves simultaneously, the outputs of which are blended via the oscillator mixer, where they’re joined by a white noise source and external audio input. Leaving the patchbay and sequencers to one side for a moment, the core synth engine is very similar to that of version 1, albeit with a few noteworthy adjustments.
