Analog Synthesis uses oscillators, Envelopes, LFOs, and a filter to generate all kinds of sounds ranging from simple bass instruments to complex, otherworldly pad and lead instruments (and everything in between).

• Oscillators: Up to three basic waveforms (sawtooth, pulse, and sine waves, plus white, pink, and red noise, as well as incoming sound from the External Inputs).

• Filters: One filter. You can assign the filter’s type, cutoff, frequency, and resonance.

• Envelopes: Up to eight envelopes for controlling volume, filter, pitch, or other parameters.

• Low-frequency oscillators (LFO): Up to eight low-frequency oscillators for controlling vibrato, filter operation, or other parameters.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Config Parameter: View

Value Range: Osc Enable, Osc Type, Osc Coarse Tune, Osc Fine Tune, Osc Random Tune, Osc Volume, Osc Pan

This screen provides a convenient overview showing how many of the commonly used parameters in the Analog Synthesis submenus are configured.

This page shows parameter settings of several oscillators in relation to one another. By having these common parameters on one screen, it saves users from having to jump back and forth between multiple oscillator pages. You can change oscillator settings (volume, pan, tuning, etc) by editing the “1:” “2:” and “3:” parameters (see below).

Since our synthesis type is set to Analog Synthesis, we have three

oscillators available for editing (remember that the Analog Synthesis type has three oscillators).

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Config Parameter: 1:, 2:, 3:

Value Range: Varies depending on View setting (see above)

This section provides quick access to common oscillator settings. The contents of this parameter change depend on your “view” parameter settings. Use the Control Wheel to adjust the listed setting.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Config Parameter: R: (Ring Mod On/Off) Value Range: On, Off

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select Parameter: EDIT Osc

Value Range: Osc 1 to Osc 3

Select the oscillator you’d like to edit.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select Parameter: Enable

Value Range: On, Off

Allows you to enable or disable each oscillator

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select Parameter: Type

Value Range: Sawtooth, Pulse, Sine, White Noise, Pink Noise, Red Noise, Ext In

This parameter allows you to select the shape of your oscillator. When you select “Ext In” as your oscillator type, your oscillator becomes whatever audio is being played into the ¼” input jacks labeled “Input Left” and Input Right” on the back of the Fusion.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select

Parameter: Shape (only available on Sawtooth and Pulse oscillator types)

Value Range: -100% to 100%

Shape alters the waveform of your Sawtooth or Pulse oscillator type. This parameter is sometimes called “Pulse Width Modulation” on some synthesizers when referring to square waves.

How do I make Sawtooth and Up/Down Saw waveforms?

You can create down-saw, triangle, and up- saw waveforms by selecting “Sawtooth” and changing the “shape” parameter (see below). To create a down-saw, set your “shape” parameter to “-100%” whereas to create an up-saw, set this parameter to +100%. For a triangle wave, leave the parameter set to 0%.

You can create a square wave by selecting a “Pulse” waveform and setting the “Shape” parameter to 0% (see below).

Parameter: Sync

Value Range: None, Osc 1, Osc 2, Osc 3, Ring Mod, Filter

Resets the phase of your oscillator in relation to the initial phase of another Oscillator, Ring Mod, or Filter. This creates richer harmonic content on your currently selected oscillator.

Note that you generally end up with better results if your current oscillator is synced to another oscillator that is lower in pitch. If both oscillators are at the same pitch (or close to one another), little or no harmonics will be generated.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select Parameter: Oscillator Reset

Value Range: On, Off

If set to “on” this parameter starts the oscillator from the beginning of the waveform every time a voice is triggered. If set to “off ” the oscillator is free running and does not reset whenever a new voice is triggered.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select Parameter: FM Source

Value Range: None, Osc 1, Osc 2, Osc 3, Ring Mod, Filter

You can use a filter, ring mod, or another oscillator’s waveform to modulate the frequency of the current oscillator. The result is a more complex waveform with richer harmonics.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select Parameter: FM Amount

Value Range: 0-100%

Blend in any amount of the FM source. Higher percentages blend in more of the FM source and create richer harmonics. Smaller

percentages blend in less of the FM source and leave a more pure tone from your oscillator.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Pitch Parameter: EDIT Osc

Value Range: Osc 1 to Osc 3

Choose the oscillator you’d like to edit. Since our synthesis type is set to Analog, you have three oscillators to choose from.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Pitch Parameter: Coarse Tune

Value Range: -48 to +48 Semitones

This parameter pitch-shifts the oscillator you are playing.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Pitch Parameter: Fine Tune

Value Range: -99 to +99 Cents

Use this parameter to fine-tune (or detune) your oscillator.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Pitch Parameter: Random Tune

Value Range: 0-100%

Random Tune generates unpredictable tuning variances in your oscillator. The higher you set this value, the more unpredictable your tuning

becomes.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Output Parameter: EDIT Osc

Value Range: Osc 1 to Osc 3

Choose the oscillator you’d like to edit. Since our synthesis type is set to Analog, you have three oscillators to choose from.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Output Parameter: Osc Out

Value Range: On, Off

When using an oscillator as a modulation source for another oscillator (this often happens in FM, sync, or ring modulation), you may want to mute the actual output of the oscillator so that you only hear the effects of its modulation.

If you want to mute the output of an oscillator, uncheck this box. Otherwise, leave this box checked for normal operation.

Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Output Parameter: Optimize Osc to Mono Value Range: On, Off

This parameter reduces DSP load on the Fusion by summing the oscillator’s output into mono. Turning this option on allows you to have higher polyphony, but it means you cannot pan the oscillator across a stereo field.

In cases where the oscillator is panned to the center, it is best to leave this option set to “on” since you’re not using panning anyway.

Parameter: Osc Pan (only visible if “Optimize to Mono” is turned off)

Value Range: L100% to R100%

Sets the pan position of each individual oscillator. This is different from the Pan parameter under the Program/Output section because each oscillator can be panned to its own position whereas the
