Understanding oscillator waveshapes

- [Instructor] In this movie we're gonna really start to explore some of the wave shapes of our oscillator and as I mentioned earlier in the course, the oscillator section in Sylenth is divided in to two parts. We have Oscillator A1, Oscillator A2 and that's on part A and then on part B, which we can access by clicking these buttons at the top, we have Oscillator B1 and Oscillator B2. I'm gonna go back to part A and I'm also gonna hit command J to initialize or clear this patch. Now, to explore the functionality of our oscillators, I've also pulled up an oscilloscope as well as an EQ below so you can get an understanding of what the oscillator is doing. To start, we're also working with a digitally controlled oscillator or DCO, rather than a voltage controlled oscillator, or VCO. Now, this is because Sylenth is a digital plug-in synthesizer and the oscillator is digitally controlled where as on analog synth, our oscillator would be controlled by voltages. Let's go in and look at some…
