Phase Distortion / Wave-shaping (PD / WS)

Here you can setup up the phase distortion / waveshaping. This is the shape the phase distortion / waveshaping uses to alter the basic waveform sound.

A good example of what you can do with phase distortion / wave shaping is shown in the preset "PD molate" in bank "01_Diverse 03". In this preset the amount of phase distortion is controlled by a LFO.

Note: To hear the result you need to set the Shaper knob to a non-zero value in the particular oscillator and also in the oscillator section you need to select either Phase Distortion or Wave Shaping.

Clicking on the boxes A to F selects the phase distortion / wave shaping for oscillators A to F.

The big screen shows the current shaper. To start with the PW/WS screen shows a straight line, so the phase and wave shape are not changed at all by this. When you draw on the big screen the phase distortion / wave shaping changes. The small screens at the right hand screen show the current waveform after being phase distorted and wave shaped.

Right clicking (or control-click on Mac) on the screen allows you to copy & paste shapers setups and also clear the current shaper setups.

Tip: In the Modulation Matrix you can select the Shape amount for each oscillator as a modulation target. This way you can blend between unchanged waveforms and changed waveforms.
