Organic is an additive synthesizer which combins the output of up to 8 oscillators.

Although it has more oscillators than TripleOscillator, it is less flexible because it lacks a lot of its abilities, among them the option to modulate the oscillators with each other. The phase offsets of each oscillator are randomized whenever a note is played (for both stereo channels separately). For that reason this instrument sounds slightly different everytime you press a key even when you don't change any settings.

Organic is most useful for creating organ instruments (that's where its name comes from) and pads.

Individual Oscillator Controls

  • Wave: The waveform generated by the oscillator

    • 0%: Sine

    • 1%: Sawtooth

    • 2%: Pulse

    • 3%: Triangle

    • 4%: Moog Triangle

    • 5%: Exponential

  • Vol: Volume of the oscillator

  • Pan: Stereo panning of the oscillator

  • Wide: Coarse of the oscillator. Has a range of one octave up and down.

General Controls

  • Dist: Adds a clipper effect (distortion)

  • Vol: General volume

  • Randomize: Randomizes all oscillator settings

Tuning of the Oscillators

This is the default coarse of the oscillators with "Wide" on 0
