"The 285e Frequency Shifter determines the pitch of the sound. The sound source is the 259e in mem skew mode. In the first half, the mod oscillator modulates the morph."

Waldorf Pulse with Original Box

via this auction
"This is fine full fledged mono synthesizer with 3 oscillators, which is great, especially having two of them with Variable Pulse Width. You get an ADSR Filter Envelope and an ADSR Amplitude Envelope. In addition there's also a Voltage Controlled Filter which can also be modulated by one of 15 sources. Which brings us to the Modulation Section makes for a ton of possibilities that early monophonic hardwired synths didn't offer. Essentially you can modulate 15 destinations, from 15 sources, so that's a lot of power to modify the waveforms going through this modulation matrix. The whole editing system is a 6 line matrix, with a knob for each parameter, which is a lot easier to deal with than thumbing through a whole bunch of pages on a fully digital synth. With two LFO's, a Mixer, a Noise source, Pitch Mod, Portamento, and Stereo Panning, there's even more to work with. You've got all the tools in this synth to work with any kind of music you want to play, that is, if you know how to work it, and know what kind of sounds you're looking for. The manual is well written and serves as a very good minimal guide as to how to use this instrument. I recommend reading it more than once, because while being brief, it makes points that are huge in terms of understanding the nature of this particular synth. Here's one particular point, your Oscillator mix volume controls really affect how dramatic your filter will respond, but there's more to it than that, because your individual Oscillator volumes and relative volumes will really affect the overall tone you're getting. This is the kind of difference in sound that can be easily overlooked, thus making for minimized understanding what the instrument can sound like. I also have the box, and the Power Supply and Manual will be packed in there, that is, before it is then packed into another box, so that it is double boxed for travel. This synth is great for anyone who loves to experiment and journey into the world of sound, and perhaps less great for someone who is interested in getting only the specific sounds being sort after."
