Dual Mutants per oscillator (Osc 1 and 2)
　　•　FM: Linear FM
　　　　◦　Selectable Modulator source:
　　　　　　-　Internal Sine & Triangle waves, Oscillators 1-3, Ring Mod, Noise generator, Mutants 1-4, External Mod inputs 1 & 2
　　•　WavStack™: Generates 5 detuned waves from the input source, with adjustable detune amount
　　•　Hard Sync (Osc Sync): gives that classic sync sweep sound
　　　　◦　Selectable sync input source: Oscillators 1-3
　　　　◦　Adjustable Hann window to shape the output
　　•　Pulse Width Modulation (PW-Orig): Adjusts the pulse width of any waveform
　　•　PW-Squeeze: Compresses the center section of the waveform, for a unique type of PWM
　　•　PW-ASM: 8 adjustable Warp points can be applied to the waveform, for a unique form of FM synthesis
　　　　◦　Warp points can be modulated individually through the Mod Matrix
　　•　Harmonic Sweep: scans through the harmonics of the incoming waveform
