You can turn the caching off in the Network Options menu, but then, you won't be able to page back to old patches to tweak the numbers. This same Web page works perfectly under Lynx. This synthesizer uses a number of modules, and each module processes a number of inputs into a number of outputs. There are also some static parameters, which are mostly switches and parameters you set once and forget. The way you connect a control signal to a module is by selecting the control signal via pop-up menus for the appropriate module input.
Oscillators generally supply repeating signals which are used as sound sources.
They can also provide signals which control other modules' characteristics. The amplitude scales the output and is usually connected to an envelope generator. The duty cycle warps the phase of the signal, which is only used in the square wave and triangle wave. Noise is a random signal that sounds like static on the radio. But when filtered and mixed with other signals, it's quite useful.
