3xOsc

Image-Line

Where to get itIncluded with FL Studio. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.image-line.com

3xOsc is a deceptively powerful 3-oscillator subtractive synthesizer that has been used in millions of FL Studio projects since 2000. It feeds the FL Studio Sampler and delivers a raw, aliased sound characteristic of 1990s synthesis. Despite its old-school character, it offers comprehensive controls for shaping three independent oscillators with phase, detune, tuning, and mixing capabilities.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Three anti-aliased oscillators with sine, triangle, square, saw, rounded saw, noise, and custom waveforms
02Oscillator phase inversion for flanging and phasing effects
03Stereo detune and phase offset controls for panorama and richness
04Coarse tuning (-24 to +24 semitones) and fine tuning (-1 to +1 semitone) per oscillator
05OSC 3 amplitude modulation mode for modulating oscillators 1 and 2
06High quality anti-aliased rendering mode for alias-free output from 15 Hz to 20 kHz
07Phase randomness control for natural or special-effect stereo variation
08Individual panning and mix level controls with normalized output

Things to Try

  • 01Invert one oscillator's phase while setting a slightly different fine frequency to create interesting flanging and phasing effects
  • 02Set oscillator 2 to 50% mix level and oscillator 3 to 33% mix level to blend all three oscillators at equal volume
  • 03Use a Volume Envelope with a short attack time to prevent clicks caused by stereo phasing when oscillators start mid-waveform
  • 04Apply low Phase Rand values for a slightly more natural sound or higher values for special stereo effects
