Oilcan is a monophonic digital-style percussion voice. At its core, Oilcan is two sine waves capable of basic FM synthesis. These operators are wavefolded, then mixed into two stages of clipping.
Oilcan is arranged in timbres. You can think of each timbre as its own drum. Each time Oilcan triggers, it picks a timbre based on the note you're sending.
You can find all of Oilcan's params in the OILCAN > param group.
editing timbres
Change SELECTED TIMBRE to edit different timbres. The selected timbre's params will populate below.
Below the timbre params is the MACROS section. These params non-destructively multiply timbre params as they're played, acting as performance controls.
Below MACROS, you can find trigger params for temp-saving and temp-loading timbres or macro settings. This can be used as a performance control, or to copy timbres to new slots.
Below temp controls is the save system. Everything is saved with your psets - this is for sharing sounds with other norns.

param name
description
FREQ
Base frequency
SWEEP TIME
Percentage of release time spent sweeping towards base frequency
SWEEP INDEX
Depth of pitch sweep
ATTACK
Rise time. Affects all envelopes.
RELEASE
Fall time to silence. All other envelopes use this time as a reference - changing this param affects all envelopes.
MODULATOR RELEASE
Percentage of release time spent releasing the modulation operator to silence.
MODULATOR LEVEL
Multiplier for the modulator envelope height.
MODULATOR RATIO
Multiplier for the modulator's frequency relative to base frequency.
FEEDBACK
Modulator FM feedback. 0 is a sine wave, 10 is tuned noise.
FOLD
Amount of wavefolding applied to operators at start of signal chain
HEADROOM
Amount of headroom before the signal hard-clips. Lowering HEADROOM applies a filthy compression effect.
GAIN
Signal multiplier into a soft-clipping waveshaper.
ROUTING
Linearly pan the modulator between 0 (carrier modulation only) and 1 (mix with carrier for output)
