NONLINEAR LABS C15 - The Output Mixer

▶
Press Spread (State Variable Filter) again until L–B–H is highlighted in the
display.
▶
Sweep the Encoder across the entire value range and dial in the default
value [ 0.0 % ] (Lowpass).
ߊ Using the L–B–H parameter, you can morph continuously from lowpass
through bandpass to highpass. 0.0 % is fully lowpass, 100.0 % fully high-
pass. The width of the bandpass is determined by the Spread parameter.
Cuto FM:
▶
Press FM (State Variable Filter).
▶
Sweep the Encoder across the entire range.
ߊ Now the filter input signal is modulating the Cuto frequency. Usually,
the sound gets increasingly nasty and abrasive. Please note that positive
and negative FM can produce quite dierent results.
▶
Press FM (State Variable Filter) until A – B is highlighted in the display.
ߊ A – B blends between the Oscillator/Shaper signals A and B and deter-
mines the signal ratio which is modulating the Filter Cuto. Depending
on the waveshape and pitch of both Oscillator/Shaper signals, the results
can dier considerably from each other.
▶
Reset FM and A – B to their default values.
The Output Mixer
You have already laid your hands on the Output Mixer. Here you will find some
more info on that module.
If you are only popping in at this point, we should first set the oscillator section to
produce a sawtooth waveform:
▶
First, please load the Init sound – do not forget to crank up “A” on the Output
Mixer!
▶
Set Oscillator A’s PM Self to 90 % for a nice-sounding sawtooth-wave.
▶
Set Envelope A’s Sustain to 60 % in order to produce a steady tone.
Now carry on, please:
