ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 505.4.1 Oscillator‘s Panels and TabsThe Oscillator always provides you with the following panels: Main, Mod, and Uni (albeit oc-casionally inactive). Click on a tab to activate the corresponding panel.Oscillator panelsMain PanelThe Main panel contains all the parameters dealing with the main oscillator of the Oscillatormodule. The most important element of this Main panel is the Synthesis menu, which definesthe type of synthesis performed for the main oscillator. The synthesis modes available in thisSynthesis menu are sorted into three groups (separated by horizontal lines):• Wavetable synthesis (Single, Double, FM, Ringmod, Fractalize, Sync Granular): TheOscillator produces signals based on monocyclic Waveforms.• Sampling (Sample, Granular): The Oscillator produces signals based on a sample.• External audio signal (Audio In): The Oscillator delivers an audio signal, which itself comesfrom an external source.The other parameters of this panel depend on the selected synthesis mode. We will detailthem in the sections describing each individual synthesis mode below.Mod PanelThe Mod panel (Modulation) holds all parameters of the modulation oscillator. The availableparameters depend on the synthesis mode selected in the Main panel. Information aboutthese specialized parameters can be found in the sections describing each individual synthesismode below.
