OSC Shape/Pulse Width on NL4

Post by ranraiten »

Hey Guys,
I'm new on this synth... so I'm going to see this guy who teaches me synthesis and such.
Apparently we couldn't figure out if there's a way to control pulse width/shape of a Triangle or other OSCs which are not Square...
He says that it has to be a way to shape the OSC and I personally agree (by having a NS2 which has this option) but I can't figure it out from the manual or YouTube videos and etc.

Do u guys have any idea how?

Thanks,
Ran

nope. you can modulate the PW via LFO 2 but you can't manually or statically shape the waveforms.

Use keyboard synk (KBS) on LFO and set rate to slowest, set LFO waveform to square and use amount to set pulsewidth - this will give you aprox 45 seconds before the LFO changes to low square flank. Velocity morph amount if you want your velocity to affect Square width of the oscillator.
