When Fatness = 0, then you have a single wave.TheGuysanIdiot wrote:Hi Jo,
While I am working on more presets I some questions about how the WFT Oscillator works from a technical point of view.
a) Is all about the relationship between "Fatness, Detune and Spread".
Please can you explain in your own words how they work with each other?
I am particularly interested in what the "Fatness" actually does as I increase its number from 0 upwards.
"0" Fatness seems to mean one saw for example.
"1" Fatness - does this mean two saws and the detune works between them?
Detune works when Fatness is above "0"
Spread seems to handle stereo width.
When Fatness = 1, then you have the wave + 1 detuned up + 1 detuned down = 3 waves. The Detune parameter defines the detune.
When Fatness = 2, you have 5 waves.
Spread indeed defines how much the waves are spread in the stereo field.
It defines how much influence the pitch modulation has. For that, you need to feed some modulation into the osc, of course. For example, an LFO to the green pitch modulation input.b) "Pitch mod." - same again, how does that actually work from a technical point of view I cannot seem to get it to do much. How should I use this?
Indeed, using the built-in fatness is more efficient than using separate oscs. But separate oscs give more options and more control. So it depends on the situation. You can also use 2 or 3 oscs with 'a bit' of fatnessI am now creating multi-saw style synth presets and just want to make sure I am using each WFT Oscillator as efficiently as possible.
