Frequently Asked Questions
The morphing smoothly interpolates between stored presets, and you can use CV inputs to modulate the morphing rate for real-time changes.
While it functions at 44.1kHz, utilizing the 96kHz rate unlocks the full potential of the oscillator's algorithms and provides a cleaner, higher-resolution sound.
The Hertz Donut's Thru-Zero-FM is far more sophisticated, allowing for much more complex and unpredictable harmonic interactions than traditional FM, producing sounds beyond simple bell-like tones.
