TripleOscillator
From LMMS Wiki
The Triple Oscillator plugin is a synthesizer which generates sounds by combining the waveforms of up to three function generators.

Plugin settingsThe first panel controls the way the oscillators interact with each other. The available settings are:
The next three panels are the settings for the three oscillators.

Waveforms
- Sine
- The "purest" sound. Useful for organ-like instruments. Due to a sine wave being only one exact frequency, normal frequency filters have little effect on sine waves.
- Triangle
- Similar to sine, although a lot less smooth. Useful for string instruments.
- Sawtooth
- A very sharp, "synth-like" sound. Useful for string instruments and generic "synth-like" instruments.
- Square(Pulse)
- The typical sound of vintage arcade games. Sounds much less old-fashioned when combined with other waveforms. Be cautious, as the square wave will sound a lot louder than the other waves.
- Moog-like saw
- Sounds similar to saw, but can also be used for some organ-like sounds. The shape is due to a historic glitch in the analogue circuitry of the original Moog synthesizer.
- Exponential
- If used correctly, it can be used for softer synths.
- White Noise
- Useful for creating drum beats and other effects like wind (You might prefer to use Kicker for synthesized percussion instruments).
- User-defined
- Double-click to use any sound file as a waveform.
Tips
- The best results are reached by combining different waveforms with different chorus settings.
- Most sounds created by a triple oscillator sound boring and dull without an Envelope.
