Tuning-each oscillator has two tuning knobs. The first knob makes big changes in the tuning, the second one makes small changes. 1 on the tuning knob moves the oscillator half a step higher. Now instead of playing a C note, you are playing a C# note.1 on the fine tuning knob changes the note 100th of a half step. If you set the fine tuning to 100 when you play a C note, you will get a C# note. If you want to detune the oscillators go to the fine tune knob. There's one for each oscillator. Set the fine tune for just a couple of cents (the number should read between 1-3 or -1-(-3)). To tune one oscillator to an octave above the other, go to the tune knob and set the second oscillator for 12. Here's some other interesting tunings to experiment with.3 will tune one oscillator a minor third above the first one. 4 will tune a major third. 5 will get a major fourth. This is cool for bell sounds. 7 is the one I use the most for lead sounds- that's a fifth above.-12 is good for bass sounds. For very odd sounds turn the ring modulator all the way up and set one oscillator a lot lower (-36- -48) Clangy. Rainbow Jimmy http://www.spaceanimals.com http://www.mp3.com/spaceanimals
