 == Waveshape Editor ==
 
+The Waveshape Editor allows you to edit the transform function for the oscillator. What looks like a waveform is in fact an array of 254 values which are scanned by the wave generated by the frequency modulation setting. To understand this better, imagine a sine wave oscillating between 0 and 253, it will count from 0 until 253, back down again and repeat. Instead of playing the actual waveform directly a value is used to lookup the value stored in the waveshape table. In our example the sine wave would look up all values from 0 until 253 and then from 253 until 0 and repeat. This way, if you draw a diagonal line from bottom left until top right, the scanning waveform will be played unaltered.
+
+The Waveshape Editor shows you the current wave shape being used. Click on a point in the wave or hover over a point and press ‘e’, this will toggle the edit mode. If you move the mouse up or down and wait a second or two for the screen to refresh you will see you have changed the value of single point. To exit the edit mode click or press ‘e’  a second time.
+
+Most of the time you will of course want to manipulate more than a single point. For this, move the mouse cursor over the wave shape and press + (9) or - (8). This will change the “Width” setting in the control part of the screen. You can select "Width 0" until "Width 7" and another option "Interp". The "Width" options allow you to “bend” multiple points, 0 being only one point and 7 being the entire wave shape. "Interp" lets you draw the wave shape free hand.
