Modulation & Pitch wheel behaviour
The WAVE knob will morph the waveform seamlessly
from Square to Sawtooth via Triangle.
EG2 and LFO2 will modulate the waveshape according
to the settings of each modulation source.
LFO1 will modulate pitch and EG1 can be set to either
modulate the waveshape (default) or the pitch by
activating the button connecting to OCT knob.
The OCT knob will set the base pitch of the oscillator.
For ne tuning use the TUNE knob.
The modulation from one of the envelope generators
will always be inverted, use the INV switch to select
which one.
DETUNE will add and spread saw waveforms. The
total amount of saw waveforms can be set using the
UNISON switch below. The detuned saw waves are
faded in as the WAVE knob approaches the saw
position (or when modulation pushes the waveform
towards the saw shape).
The SUB switch will activate a square wave one octave
lower then the main oscillator.
The OSCILLATOR can be set to POLY (16 voices) or
MONO (1 voice). With glide actived the pitch will slide
depending on the distance between notes.
Use control voltage to modulate the labeled
parameters. Use the small trim knobs next to the jack
for adjusting the level of modulation.
Each EG CV out has a slighlty smoothen signal out.
Use these trimmers to dial in the prefered levels and
behaviour of corresponding functions.
Set the destination for Mod wheel and the range of the
pitch bend wheel with these buttons.
If set to LFO Depth the mod wheel will scale the
amount set by knobs on the front panel.
VCF1&2
Voltage Controlled Filters
Both lters can be set to either HP (12dB/oct high
Pass), BP (6dB/oct band pass) or LP (18dB/oct low
pass) with the MODE switch. Add modulation from
EG1,EG2, LFO1 and LFO2 to the cut off FREQUENCY
with the corresponding knobs. Use the RESO knob to
add emphasis (resonance) the the cut off frequency.
The KBD knob will modulate the cut off frequency
according to which note is played.
The modulation from one of the envelope generators
will always be inverted, use the INV switch to select
which one.
EGs & LFOs
Envelope Generators & Low Frequency Oscillators
EGs and LFOs are used to modulate the waveform, the
pitch and the lter cut off frequency.
The LFOs can be set to RETRIG with each note and
SYNC to the song tempo with the two corresponding
switches.
LFO1 has a sharp random wave shape whilst LFO2
has a softer drifting random wave shape.
NOISE & DRIVE
OUTPUT
Level & Pan
Add white NOISE to the oscillator signal before going
into the lters.
DRIVE the signal both before VCF2 (diode shaper) and
after VCF2 (tahn shaper).
Set the over all volume with the LEVEL knob. Under
VCA select what envelope generator to use for the
output level.
PAN will shift the signal from left to right.
EFFECTS
Echo & Reverb
The ECHO TIME can be set to SYNC to the song
tempo using the switch. FEEDBACK will control how
many repetitions are made and MIX will set the balance
between echo and dry signal.
Reverb DECAY controlls the length of the reverber-
ation. For imitating large spaces use longer decay
time. The TONE controll will dull or brighten the reverb
signal. The MIX knob will set the balance of reverb and
the dry signal.
Thank you for supporting
Ekssperimental Sounds Studio!
Ekssperimental Sounds Studio is a one
man project driven by the passion for
experimental electronic sounds, new
and old synthesizers and music gear.
As a Reason user since 2001 it truly is
a dream come true to nally be able to
create my own synthesizers and effects
for the Reason rack.
Thanks to all of you who buy my
products I can continue to learn and
develope more fun and inspiring
devices for our beloved rack.
I hope you will enjoy WaveMaster!
Cheers,
Erik Söderberg 2021
