Oscillators
Tempest
Glide Mode: FixRate, FixRate A, FixTime, FixTime A—Determines how the
oscillators respond when glide is on.
FixRate: The time to transition between notes varies with the interval between
the notes; the greater the interval, the longer the transition time. The glide rate is
xed.
FixRate A: The same as FixRate, but glide is only applied when playing legato.
That is, glide only occurs when a note is held until the next note is played. This
effectively allows glide to be turned on and off just by playing staccato or legato.
FixTime: Glideissettoaxedtime,regardlessoftheintervalbetweennotes.
FixTime A: The same as FixTime, but glide only occurs when playing legato.
Key Follow: Off, On—Turns keyboard tracking off or on for oscillator 1 or 2.
When off, the oscillator plays at its base pitch and will not transpose when played
from the pads or via MIDI.
Wave Reset: Off, On—When off, the oscillator is free-running and may be
at any point in its cycle when the voice is gated on. Most analog synthesizers
behave this way. The most noticeable effect is that the attack may vary slightly
at very fast settings, adding a slight, variable click that can be desirable for some
sounds. When wave ReSet is on, the oscillator is restarted—reset to the zero
crossing at the start of its cycle—every time a note is gated on.
The Digital Oscillators
Sample: Off, sample name 1, sample name 2, …—Tempest contains several
hundred sampled sounds, including different types of noise, acoustic drums and
percussion, classic analog and digital drum machines, effects, and the single-
cyclewavesfromtheProphetVS.Thesampleformatis16-bit,44.1kHz,mono.
For a complete list of samples, see “Samples” on page 53.
Level: 0…127—Sets the volume level of oscillator 3 or 4.
Note: Volumelevelcanbeset,oraffectedbymodulation,atseveralpointsin
the signal path, so clipping distortion may occur if the levels and/or modulation
amounts are set high. If clipping is undesirable, simply turn the level and/or mod
amount down until it stops clipping.
