Clavia lead 2x Guida Utente

means that changing the pitch of Oscillator 2 basically does not affect the pitch of the sound, but the 
timbre. The FM A

 knob controls the amount of FM from Oscillator 2 to Oscillator 1.

For classic FM sounds, use sine wave on oscillator 1 and triangle wave on oscillator 2.

Activate Ring Modulation by pressing the R

 button until the R

 LED is lit. 

This is a function (also known as amplitude modulation), where the waveforms of the two oscillators are 
multiplied. The result is a inharmonic sound, that is great for metallic or bell-like timbres.

When trying out Ring Modulation, make sure you listen to Oscillator 2, since it is mainly this that is 
affected by the timbre changes!

Turning the Oscillator 2 S

 knob will change the timbre, much as with FM. However, with 

Ring Modulation, this will also affect the pitch of the sound! This means that activating Ring Modulation 
may result in a sound with a completely different pitch than the “normal” sounds. To remedy this, you 
should use the Ring Mod T

 knob:

When Ring Modulation is activated, the FM Amount knob works as a Tune knob with a range of roughly 
one octave. To set the pitch to “normal”, turn off Ring Modulation and play a note, then activate Ring 
Modulation, play the same note and adjust the Tune knob until the pitch is the same. Please note that 
the pitch will change again if you change the timbre by adjusting the Semitones knob.
