Spread (Osc 1 only) This control lets you layer in additional oscillators that follow Osc 1 pitch, with increasing

amounts of detuning as more oscillators are blended in. This creates a richer, fuller sound. With Spread all the

way to the left, you hear a single oscillator. As you turn Spread to the right, more oscillators are added, with

greater detuning and stereo spread.

Sync (Osc 2 only) Enable this option to restart Osc 2's waveform each time Osc 1's waveform repeats. This is a

classic analog synthesis technique, creating rich harmonics and a sharp and strident sound. This is further expan-

ded when pitch modulation is applied to one or both of the oscillators with an LFO or envelope.

Sub Each of Mai Tai's oscillators has an attached sine wave sub-oscillator, which plays the same relative pitch as

the main osc, but an octave down. This control lets you blend in the signal from the sub-oscillator, which is a nice

way to add additional thickness and fullness to your sound, without having to dedicate the second main oscillator

to the task.

Level This control lets you set the volume of each oscillator, to blend their tones to your liking.

Pan This control lets you position each oscillator separately in the stereo field, from left to right.

Noise Generator

The Noise section is a noise generator that can add texture and character to your sounds. The Noise module offers the

following controls:

Bypass Click the [Noise] button to turn Noise on or off.

Level Lets you set the volume level for the noise generator.

Pan This control lets you position each oscillator separately in the stereo field, from left to right.

Color Lets you set the timbre of the noise from dark to bright.

Character

The Character processor is one of the unique features of Mai Tai, offering a range of waveshaping effects that broaden its

tonal range. The Character module offers the following controls:
