The oscillators.
The oscillator prefab is shown below. It consists of seven HD Oscillators (these are included in the community modules found at http://www.synthedit.com/modules/community_modules.zip)
In the lower half you can see some plugs with numbers against them. These refer to the “Offset” Voltages.
The HD Oscillators give a brighter sound than the original Oscillator modules, each one has its own offset voltage, these are our “Offset Frequencies” as SynthEdit voltages:
-0.11002313 V
-0.06288439 V
-0.01952356 V
0.0 V which is our centre frequency.
0.01991221 V
0.06216538 V
0.10745242 V
The ratio between these voltages is always constant, but they pass through an amplifier module which controls the gain equally on each offset, preserving the voltage ratios, but increasing the spacing between them to replicate the original “Offset” control on the Supersaw synthesizer. The Phase Mod plugs are fed by another module which generates a random voltage each time a MIDI trigger pulse is received, this recreates in part the sound of the original oscillator by ensuring that each module starts at a random point the the sawtooth cycle.
Oscillator Bank (Prefab).
Internal structure of the oscillator bank.
There are four Input IO Modules:
1) The main pitch input which connects to the Detuner and the MIDI input
2) The Offset, this carries the offset voltages for the oscillators
3) The Phase Input, which carries the random phase control signals for each oscillator.
4) The Level Controls for the Detune (Supersaw) Volume, and the Centre Volume.
There is only one IO Output module this carries the Centre Frequency audio output, and the Supersaw audio output
