Pulse Width Modulation Both of the SJ-2’s oscillators have the option of selecting a pulse wave, which looks like this: The pulse waves have a featu

Pulse width & pulse width modulation are so important that the SJ-2 has a section dedicated to them:The controls labelled ‘PW’ set the pulse width

The SJ-2 features two fully loaded oscillators; you can control the pitch and basic wave-shape of each, from the oscillator panel shown above.Whilst t
