PITCH MOD ASSIGN (1&3, All, 2&4)
Using this three-position switch, the amount of Pitch Modulation set using the
PITCH AMT knob (above) can be assigned to all of the Matriarch oscillators,
to Oscillators 1 & 3 only, or to Oscillators 2 & 4 only. The latter two options
can be extremely useful in the 2-Note Paraphonic mode.
1&3
In this mode, modulation will be applied to the pitch of Oscillator 1 and
Oscillator 3 only.
TIP: Applying modulation to Oscillators 1 and 3 only allows the other two oscillators
(2 and 4) to remain firmly on pitch, preserving the tonality of the melody.
ALL
In this mode, Modulation will be applied equally to the pitch of all Oscillators.
2&4
In this mode, Modulation will be applied to the pitch of Oscillator 2 and
Oscillator 4 only.
TIP: The 2 & 4 selection allows two pairs of sync’d oscillators to be played in the
2-Voice Paraphonic mode. Oscillator 2 can be sync’d to Oscillator 1, and Oscillator 4
can be sync’d to Oscillator 3. Applying modulation will increase the depth of the
Sync eects, without altering the pitch of Oscillator 1 and Oscillator 3.
CUTOFF AMT (Amount)
The CUTOFF AMT knob determines the maximum amount of modulation that
will be applied to the Cutoff frequency of the Filter when the MOD wheel is at
its maximum position.
PULSE WIDTH AMT (Amount)
The PULSE WIDTH AMT knob determines the maximum amount of modulation
that will be applied to the Pulse Width of the Square and Narrow Pulse waves
in the Oscillators module when the MOD wheel is at its maximum position.
NOTE: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) can only be applied to an oscillator when
a Square or Narrow Pulse wave is selected as the current waveform. Pulse Width
Modulation continuously varies the duty cycle, or pulse width, of these waves,
causing the harmonic content to continuously vary as well.
