Limitoff / onThis setting prevents, if enabled, accessing the analog type waveforms triangle, square andsawtooth in any case of modulation. When disabled, the full modulation amount will becalculated and applied so that the whole wavetable will be used for tone generation.Wave 2Wave 2 / 1Wave 2 / 2Startwave00...60 / triangle / square / sawtoothDetermines the start point of the wavetable that is used when the sound starts. As analternative to the waves of the currently selected wavetable, you can select the basicwaveformstriangle,square with 50% duty cycle orsawtooth.When you want to create a sound with a wave sweep, you should roughly set the Startwaveparameter onto the desired wave, before you apply any modulations to the correspondingWave module. This helps you to find the basic waveform where all modulations start from.Note that you can apply unipolar and bipolar modulation sources to the Wave module aswith any other module. For example, set the Startwave parameter to29, which is almost themiddle of the wavetable and apply a slow running LFO to the Wave module to sweepthrough the whole wavetable (except the three waveforms triangle, square or sawtooth). Tryit with one of the PWM wavetables.w The basic waveforms triangle, pulse and sawtooth correspond to entry61…63 ofeach wavetable. Please notice, that these waveforms are also used when anappropriate wave modulation is applied. To avoid this, you will have to activate theLimit parameter. Please read this corresponding topic to get further information. Usethe basic waveforms to generate traditional, analog synthesizer sounds.Phasefree / 3...357°By means of this parameter you can define the startsample and, as a result, the phase of thegenerated wave. Alternative to a fixed value, you can usefree to set the phase to a different,random value each time a note is generated. The setting is scaled in degrees.Linkoff / onAllows the use of the same modulation settings for both waves. When enabled, wave 2 usesthe modulation parameters of wave 1 for all Modulation Matrix settings, EnvAmount,EnvVelAmt and Keytrack. That means, whenever a modulation is applied to wave 1, it isalso used for wave 2. When disabled, each wave uses its own individual modulationsettings.EnvAmount-64…+63Determines the amount of influence the wave envelope has on the wavetable modulation.EnvAmount|EnvVelAmt|Keytrack |Limit W2-20 | +15 | +050% | offStartwave| Phase | Link W2057 | free | offUser’s Manual MicroWave II • MicroWave XT • XTk 45
