# 5.11 Organic

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

![Organic](/files/-LuiQWlzabLFNNj3RF6f)

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.

## 5.11.1 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.

## 5.11.2 General Controls

* **Dist:** Adds a clipper effect (distortion)
* **Vol:** General volume
* **Randomize:** Randomizes all oscillator settings

## 5.11.3 Tuning of the Oscillators

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