ok so here is a patch i made where im trying to take advantage of wave morphing
why is the change so subtle...i want a big obvious change in the sound...PLUS why is the change so slow....i have the lfo set at a super fast speed?
thoughts anyone?
i dont get it.h2p - 0.02MB
ok so explain to me wave morphing...(Patch Inside)

First of all the waves are a bit "weird". All waves except 8 and 9 are the same. No biggie but kinda funny.
Anyways if you turn up the resolution parameter in "more osc1" you have super fast modulation.

The resolution paramter determines the length of the intervals between calculations. Higher resolution results in more exact (and faster) transitions from waveform to waveform.

Since wave 1-7 is identical it's no surprise the change is subtle as it does'nt change until wave 8. You can move the waves with ctrl-drag and morph between waves with alt-click. Check that out.

msuicall,
Snag this file: Wave Morph Tutorial
Now, when you load this patch, there are only two modules. On the left is OSC1 and on the right is the linked LFO1/Vibrato.
Go to the Perform tab and hold down a note. Next move the puck in XY1.
The X Axis raises and lowers the LFO1 amplitude.
The Y Axis raises and lowers OSC1's Resolution.
You can see all modulation settings in the XY assign tab at the bottom.
Here's another cool thing to do to see what's happening.
1. Click on the "Synthesis" page at the top.
2. Click on the "More OSC1" tab at the bottom.
3. Click and drag the "Wave" knob in OSC 1 at the top left.
4. Watch the waves morph in the "More OSC 1" wave drawing section
You will also notice there's two sets of lines. One is cyan/grey and the other is orange/brown (pardon my slight colorblind eyes). The brigter line is the wave that's really being used and the darker line is the wave that's stored in the preset. The reason there are these two lines is because you can move the "Wave" parameter in fractions of the 16 steps. It sounds confusing, but if you move the "Wave" knob slowly with the mouse and look at the number in the readout as well as the wave, it should make more sense.
