Step 01 / 4
Build the first oscillator and amplitude contour #
Choose oscillator 1’s waveform and tuning, then set its level and amplifier envelope. The waveform supplies the harmonic material; the amplifier attack, decay, sustain and release shape its loudness over a note. AEG1 means the amplifier 1 envelope; FEG1 means the filter 1 envelope.
Use Analog with the complete starting settings. Set the source and amplitude controls below; sections marked Off stay bypassed at this stage.
Signal flow: Analog → Saturator → Utility. Begin with the instrument, then add each effect in its numbered step.

Next: Blend the oscillators and shape the filters →Step 02 / 4
Blend the oscillators and shape the filters #
Bring in the second oscillator at the listed tuning and level. Enable the filter sections shown below, then set cutoff, resonance and filter-envelope depth. The envelope moves the harmonic ceiling during each note; key tracking changes that ceiling across the keyboard.
Keep the first stage’s source and amplitude settings while making these changes. The complete instrument settings show the resulting tone before effects.
Analog’s F1 Freq and F2 Freq values are in hertz.

Next: Apply Saturator →Step 03 / 4
Apply Saturator #
Select the curve before setting Drive. Drive changes the waveform’s harmonic content; Output balances the level after that change. Dry/Wet blends the processed and direct tone. Keep Color and clipping controls as listed because they alter the distortion character.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Analog Clip |
| Drive | 3.8 dB |
| Output | -3.0 dB |
| Color On | Off |
| Pre Dc Filter | On |
| Dry/Wet | 70 % |
Place Saturator after Analog. The complete settings include its remaining controls.

Next: Apply Utility →Step 04 / 4
Apply Utility #
Set gain and width at the end of the chain. Set Utility’s Gain knob to the Output value in the table. Width changes the balance between center and side information; Mono combines the channels. Bass Mono narrows only the low frequencies below its cutoff. Keep DC Filter and phase-inversion switches at the listed values.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| Output | 2.90 dB |
| DC Filter | On |
| Mono | On |
Place Utility after Saturator. The complete settings include its remaining controls.
