2.30 modulating oscillators with noise:
The external input, or noise, can modulate oscillators the following way:
Modulation destination NZEXT -> PWIDTH: Have the noise / external path modulate the
pulse width of the oscillator.
Modulation destination NZEXT -> Lin FM: Have the noise / external path modulate the
linear FM of the oscillator.
Modulation destination NZEXT -> Exp FM: Have the noise / external path modulate the
exponential FM of the oscillator.
By hitting soft button 5, you can even come to a page where noise is modulated without
having to use a mod! You can modulate: Linear FM (one osc), Exponential FM (both
oscillators), and PWM (both oscillators) with noise.
2.31 pwmod, fmmod page:
There is also a separate PWMOD (soft button 6) and FMMOD (soft button 7 on oscillator 1
only) on each modulation page. This is independent of the three modulations so don’ t use
them for this at first! You can also access this by clicking on the PWM” button for each
oscillator, and the “ Osc 2 FM Mod” button.
2.32 keep in mind – osc frequency limit and filter keytracking limit:
Colin noted this one. Just note that with VERY low patches the cutoff will… cut off. Keep
that in mind that you can’ t go as deep as on some synths… but you can still get very deep.
The lowest you can get with the oscillators is around 22Hz. Use LFOs for deeper
modulations.
Also, with any negative filter keytracking (-50 or higher), there is a bug that will prevent
lower octaves from tracking down any further.
2.33 keep in mind – pitch wheel
There is a hardwired mod by pressing the PITCH ASSIGN key. You don’ t need a
modulation for this feature!
2.34 keep in mind – osc fm (tuning and using)
Keep in mind that the oscillator FM’ s VCA cannot be tuned. Results tend to be unpredictable
unfortunately, unless used minimally or used on a single voice (or for FX).
Note that both waveforms must be enabled on the oscillator to perform FM!
2.35 keep in mind – portamento modulation
Although the pot allows times of only up to 30 seconds, the seconds can be modulated to go
up to 130 seconds.
2.36 keep in mind – ring modulation
At least one waveform must be enabled.
