ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 37
5.1 Signal ow in the Patch
As you know from the Getting Started guide, the design of ABSYNTH5 is semi-modular.
That means that you can determine the arrangement of certain components yourself. Other
components have a permanent place in the signal ow.
5.1.1 Combining Modules in the Channels
The Patch Window organizes the modules components into three Channels. These Channels
are designated with the letters A through C and they each consist of three vertically arranged
elds, the Module Slots. Each of these Module Slots can be lled with a module. To turn a
module on or off, click on the extended border on the left side of the Module Slot – where
the writing indicates the type of module.
When inserting the modules, the following rules apply:
•
The Module Slots A-C at the top of the three Channels can only be loaded with an
Oscillator module.
•
The remaining Module Slots 1 and 2 of any Channel can be loaded with Modulator, Filter
or Waveshaper modules.
!
While the Oscillator module always works as a signal source, the other modules can shift
between different types of operation: If you turn on a module, then this module type
will appear in the border of the Module Slot. Once activated, its Type menu allows you to switch
between the operating modes Filter, Modulator and Waveshaper. So, for example, you can insert
Filter modules into both Slots of one Channel, and insert two Waveshapers into another Channel.
