NONLINEAR LABS C15 - 4.2 Editing a Parameter

▶
Turn the Encoder to approx. [ 60.0 % ].
ߊ Now, both oscillators are sending their signals through the Output Mixer.
▶
Press Level (Output Mixer).
▶
Turn the Encoder to approx. [ -10.0 dB ].
ߊ You have just reduced the mixer’s output signal enough to avoid
unwanted distortion.
▶
Press Sustain (Envelope A).
▶
Turn the Encoder to [ 50 % ].
ߊ Oscillator A is now providing a sine-wave at a constant level whereas
Oscillator B is still fading out over time.
Creating intervals:
▶
Press Pitch (Oscillator B).
▶
Turn the Encoder to [ 67.00 st ]. Play some notes.
ߊ Now Oscillator B is tuned seven semitones (a fih) above Oscillator A. You
may also try out dierent intervals like e. g. an octave (“72”) or an octave
plus an additional fih (“79”).
▶
Turn the Encoder back to [ 60.00 st ] or use the Default button.
▶
Press PM Self (Oscillator B).
▶
Turn the Encoder to approx. [ 60.0 % ]. Play some notes.
ߊ Oscillator B is modulating itself now, sounding brighter than Oscillator A.
▶
Press Decay 2 (Envelope B).
▶
Turn the Encoder to approx. [ 300 ms ].
ߊ Oscillator B is now fading out at a medium decay rate. The resulting
sound is vaguely reminiscent of a piano of sorts.
▶
Press Sustain (Envelope B).
▶
Turn the Encoder to [ 50% ].
ߊ Now, both Oscillators are producing steady tones. The resulting sound is
vaguely reminiscent of an organ.
You have just created some sounds that are made up of two components: A basic
sine-wave from Oscillator A and some sustained / decaying overtones from Oscilla-
tor B. Very simple still, but with lots of creative options to choose from …
