The resulting signal is sample-reduced by a controllable amount.
The resulting signal is converted to the analog domain by a 12-bit
DAC
and fed into an analog
VCF
and
VCA
.
Each of these sound generation and modification modules have parameters which can be controlled
by any of the modulation sources listed below. However, some connections are already “hardwired”
(or rather “softwired” in the firmware):
The oscillators’ pitch always tracks the note played on the keyboard. However, this can be disabled
by applying a negative modulation (amount: -63) from note to oscillator pitch.
The filter cutoff frequency always tracks the note. Again, this can be disabled or attenuated by
applying a negative modulation from note pitch to cutoff frequency. The rationale behind this choice is
that most of the time, you want 1:1 tracking, so this frees up a slot in the modulation matrix for
something more interesting!
Lfo 2 and Envelope 2 are always connected to the filter, their modulation amount being controlled by
dedicated parameters on the
filter
page.
Besides this, it is up to you to route modulations to parameters. By default, the following routings are
wired:
