Exploring the synth engines
There’s not much detail on the engines behind the two polysynths. Connecting to Components lets us edit them in full though…
Oscillators
Circuit Tracks’ synths each have two oscs, offering a selection of virtual analogue waves and wavetables. Index controls the pulse width of the VA waves or the position of the wavetables. Interpolate affects the transition through a wavetable as you adjust or modulate Index – at minimum setting, sweeps sound stepped and abrupt, but at max sound far smoother. Each osc has its own level control in the mixer section, where they’re joined by a separate noise source.
Sync and detune
VSync creates a classic hard sync sound, but instead of syncing one oscillator to the other it uses an additional virtual oscillator, the tuning of which is controlled by the VSync dial. Create classic sync sweep sounds by modulating this with an LFO or Macro. Density works like a unison effect, creating duplicates of the wave. Use Detune to spread the pitches of these duplicated waves. Over in the mixer section we can also apply Ring Mod.
