Microfreak/UG/18 Appendix A Speech Osc
18 Appendix A: Speech Oscillator: Internal and External Control
- The Speech Oscillator generates six sound categories. Choose a category with the Wave encoder, then a word in that category with the Shape encoder. Adjust the selected word's timbre with the Time encoder.
- A DAW or MIDI controller can select categories and shapes: send CC 10 with a value for a category, CC 13 with a value for a word or shape, and CC 12 to control the selected word's timbre.
