RESET PHASE only works if Transient Mode (see below) is set to osc reset. The 3 knobs set the
phases at which the 3 oscillators will be reset every time a note is played. This feature is
particularly useful for sounds in which the attacks need to be very consistent. Tip: the most
percussive setting is seldom zero – you will need to experiment!
Transient Mode options affect how the first few milliseconds of new voices are handled in all voice
modes except Legato. The effect is seldom obvious, but when attack times are set to minimum, the
choice of transient mode can make all the difference between punchy and clicky.
The analog option means that nothing is reset (like in old analogue synths) – oscillators retain any
direct current (DC) component. With the dc reset option, DC offset is removed. The vcf reset option
also causes the filter to reset, ensuring that previously played notes have no effect on the current
voice. The osc reset option also resets the oscillator phases to the RESET PHASE values.
