Hello,

I am trying to create an emulation of the Ralond JX3P synth. I have found a resource where the writer says :

The JX-3P features two digitally clocked oscillators. The oscillators' frequency is derived from a master clock which is divided by an even integer to obtain a close approximate pitch. This method never allows the oscillators to produce a pure pitch across the entire range, and is probably accountable for the JX-3P's somewhat harsh sound.


Does anybody knows how it is achieved?
I can figure what frequency should be the master clock and how should it be divided? It seems like it is something simple, though ...


Cheers,
Camille

You could try this in the Frequency field of the Oscillator:

!KeyPitch hz inverse samp

That would convert the keyboard pitch to hertz. Inverting would give you seconds. Then convert it to samples. The result with be a frequency whose period is always an integer number of samples.
