- OFFSET:
- Adjust the modulation index for the 2nd and 3rd oscillators, creating complex harmonic textures.
- SWELL:
- Synchronize a lowpass filter modulation to your project’s BPM, enabling rhythmic pulsations and AM-type effects.
- ORBIT:
- Manipulate the carrier index ratio for the 2nd and 3rd operators, generating unique overtones and FM artifacts.
- DARKNESS:
- Shape the tonal balance with a secondary 4-pole lowpass filter.
- SUB:
- Add depth and weight with a square wave sub-oscillator, offering -1 and -2 octave selections.
