Exploring the ES2 Oscillators and Mix Triangle

Let's take a look at the Oscillator section of ES_2.…To make this more visually interesting, I'm going to pull up an oscilloscope so…we can view the waveform as I'm experimenting with the oscillators.…So if I go here to Audio Units, I have one that's a third-party plug-in that's…called s(M)exoscope.…So I'll load that up. and it's actually a free download.…If you go to bram.smartelectronix.com, you can download the Audio Unit…version, and install it.…And it's really a good way to visualize what you're hearing.…

It doesn't actually affect the sound at all;…it's just a visual aid. Okay.…S, now when I play, you can see the waveform here on the oscilloscope.…So in the Oscillator section, the first thing that you want to do is make sure…that your oscillator is on.…So for each oscillator there's a little on and off button here.…So I just turned off Oscillator 1.…I can turn it back on, and here's the one for 2 and 3, and you can see it's got…this fancy animation when you turn them on and off.…I can adjust the balance between the three oscillators with this very clever mix triangle.…
