Oscillators
This module manages a set of sound sources for merging into voices: wavetable oscillators, a noise generator, or a loaded audio track.

Oscillator module activation button:
Oscillator screen:
Waveform selection:
Note: Dragging left-right controls the starting phase from 0 to 360 degrees, and up-down selects the waveform, with the white curve indicating the current selection.
Noise generator mode button:
Solo button:
Note: Activating solo mode mutes other oscillators, and if another oscillator is in solo mode, this function disables it.
Mute button:
Sampler mode button:
Note: In sampler mode, wavetable oscillators or noise generators are replaced by a sampler, allowing you to select an audio track. The noise generator mode button is replaced with a loop button.
Sampler screen before selecting an audio file:
Audio file selector activation button:
opens a navigator to find audio tracks in "wav," "mp3," or "aiff" formats on the device
Sampler screen after selecting an audio file:
Horizontal dragging of the screen’s left part trims the track's start, while the right part trims its end.
Example of a loaded audio track curve:
Note: The sampler plays only the displayed portion of the signal.
Audio track remove button:
unloads the audio track and returns to the track selection screen
Loop mode button:
Loop mode repeats playback of the audio track until the voice is finished.
Oscillator settings sliders panel:
Oscillator selection slider:
range from o-01 to o-08
Note: All other sliders on the panel and controls on the screen link to the selected oscillator.
Selected oscillator pitch slider:
range from 1 to 32 times
Selected oscillator panorama slider:
left shift decreases the right channel volume while increasing the left, and right shift does the opposite
Selected oscillator volume slider:
range from -72 to 0 dB
Guides
How to select a waveform?

  1. On the oscillator screen, tap and swipe up or down to select the desired waveform.
  2. Ensure that the correct waveform is displayed on the screen.
How to change the initial phase of the wave?

  1. On the oscillator screen, tap and swipe left or right to set the initial phase.
  2. Ensure that the waveform is rendered starting from the specified degree.
  3. Press a key on the keyboard or an external MIDI controller.
  4. Ensure that the oscillator's sound matches the expected phase.
How to replace the wavetable with a noise generator?

  1. On the oscillator screen, activate the "noise" button.
  2. Ensure that the waveform curve is replaced with a random curve.
  3. Press a key on the keyboard or an external MIDI controller.
  4. Ensure that the oscillator's sound matches the expected noise.
How to turn the oscillator into a sampler?

  1. On the oscillator screen, activate the "sampler" button.
  2. Press the button in the center of the oscillator screen.
  3. Select a file with the "wav," "mp3," or "aiff" extension on your device.
  4. Ensure that the oscillator screen displays a waveform representing the audio track.
  5. Press a key on the keyboard or an external MIDI controller.
  6. Ensure that Cellular plays the loaded file.
Note: Cellular's sampler automatically adjusts the playback speed of audio tracks depending on the played note.
How to trim an audio track?

  1. Drag the left edge of the waveform left or right to trim the start.
  2. Drag the right edge of the waveform left or right to trim the end.
  3. Ensure that the sampler plays only the portion of the track displayed on the screen.
How to add another oscillator?

  1. Drag the radial oscillator selection slider.
  2. Select the desired oscillator.
  3. On the oscillator screen, choose the waveform and initial phase.
  4. Press the "mute" button to unmute the oscillator.
  5. Press a key on the keyboard or an external MIDI controller.
  6. Ensure that Cellular plays all oscillators.
How to mute an oscillator?

  1. Drag the radial oscillator selection slider.
  2. Select the desired oscillator.
  3. Press the "mute" button to mute the oscillator.
  4. Press a key on the keyboard or an external MIDI controller.
  5. Ensure that Cellular does not play the muted oscillator.
How to solo an oscillator?

  1. Drag the radial oscillator selection slider.
  2. Select the desired oscillator.
  3. Press the "solo" button to make the oscillator solo.
  4. Press a key on the keyboard or an external MIDI controller.
  5. Ensure that Cellular plays only the solo oscillator.
How to change the tuning of an oscillator?

  1. Select the desired oscillator.
  2. Drag the radial pitch multiplier slider.
  3. Choose the desired pitch.
  4. Press a key on the keyboard or an external MIDI controller.
  5. Ensure that Cellular plays the oscillator at the adjusted pitch.
How to pan an oscillator?

  1. Select the desired oscillator.
  2. Move the radial pan slider to the left to make the right channel quieter and the left channel louder.
  3. Move the radial pan slider to the right to make the left channel quieter and the right channel louder.
  4. Press a key on the keyboard or an external MIDI controller.
  5. Ensure that the sound is panned correctly.
How to adjust the volume of an oscillator?

  1. Select the desired oscillator.
  2. Drag the radial volume slider.
  3. Adjust the volume of the selected oscillator from -72 dB to 0 dB.
  4. Press a key on the keyboard or an external MIDI controller.
  5. Ensure that the selected oscillator's volume has changed accordingly.
