In the oclock scale, the percentage of generators up versus down for each MOS was determined by its numeral's vertical position on the disc. | In the oclock scale, the percentage of generators up versus down for each MOS was determined by its numeral's ''vertical'' position on the disc. | ||
The number of tones generated by each MOS was decided by the MOS's numeral (5, 11 or 13) minus the position of the numeral on the disc (1, 2, 3... 10, 11, or 12).
