Whoever holds the keys to the user wiki, please add a page. OpulenZ =======
OpulenZ is an emulation of the Yamaha YM3812, a.k.a OPL2, FM synth chip which was used in sound cards around 1990ke the Adlib and Sound Blasters. It generates sound through frequency modulation or adding 2 oscillators. [insert screenshot here] Operators --------- The two oscillators are called operators. In FM mode (bottom left), operator 1 modulates operator 2. Otherwise both operators are routed to the output. Controls -------- For each operator, the controls are: * ATT, DEC, SUS, REL - an ADSR envelope. * KSR - keyboard scaling rate. When KSR is on, envelopes get faster when the pitch rises. * PERC - percussive envelope, makes the envelope go straight to release ignoring held keys. * TREM - applies tremolo (slight amplitude modulation) to the operator. * VIB - applies vibrato (slight pitch modulation) to the operator. * FEEDBACK (only for operator 1) - feeds a portion of the operator's output back into it. * LVL - the output level of the operator. * SCALE - determines the scaling applied to the output level when the pitch rises. * MUL - the frequency multiplier for the operator. 1 stands for the standard pitch played on the keyboard, 0 is one octave below. * WAVEFORM - selection from 4 waveforms: sine, half sine, absolute sine and quarter sine. NB: a DC removal plugin might be a good idea when routing waveforms other than sine to the output. Global controls: * FM - when this is on, frequency modulation is used. Otherwise the operators are mixed together. * DEPTH, TREM and VIBR - these select deeper tremolo and vibrato. Applies to both operators.
