i’m using all three oscillators in this section.

the first is white noise. noise is pretty standard for most snare sounds. watch your ears because 3x osc noise tends to be pretty harsh/loud.

the second is a sine wave. this waveform helps to create the tonal timbre associated with the snare. i’ve adjusted the volume knob to blend it with the noise output.

the third is also a sine wave. most likely counterintuitive, but i found adding an additional sine wave produced a timbre i was happier with compared to simply turning up the second oscillator (note: i have no explanation for this, so if anyone wants to chime in their knowledge in the comments, please do so)

2. nothing important.
