PANEL CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
SEQ1 AMT
QTZ
The building blocks of sound in Labyrinth are its two Voltage-Controlled
Oscillators (VCOs). The sine wave VCO covers the audible frequency
range, while the triangle-wave MOD VCO has a lower frequency range—
perfect for modulation duties as an LFO, a low-frequency basis for a
kick drum, or a melodic counterpoint to the VCO. Both oscillators can be
modulated by EG1 and by a sequence (SEQ1 for the VCO, SEQ2 for the
MOD VCO by default). Metallic and inharmonic tones can be generated
by their RING MOD output, and complex analog FM tones are created
through the MOD VCO FM AMT control.
VCO FREQUENCY
This sets the frequency of Labyrinth’s sine wave VCO—from ~20 Hz to ~5 kHz.
VCO EG1 AMT
This sets the amount that envelope EG1 modulates the VCO FREQUENCY. It
has bipolar control, with positive modulation above 12 o’clock and negative
modulation below.
VCO SEQ1 AMT
This sets the amount that the sequence from SEQ1 modulates the VCO
FREQUENCY. Set all the way up (at QTZ) it will follow the quantized sequence
from SEQ1.
