Using the Output Mixer:
▶
Press S.V. Filter (Output Mixer).
▶
Set the Encoder to approx. [ 50.0 % ].
▶
Press A (Output Mixer).
▶
Set the Encoder to approx. [ 50.0 % ].
ߊ You have just combined the output signal of the S.V. Filter with the direct
(unfiltered) signal of Oscillator A.
▶
Sweep the Encoder across the entire value range and back to [ 50.0 % ].
ߊ Positive Level values add signals. Negative Level values subtract the
signal from the others.
⚠
Because of phase cancellation, positive and negative values may
produce dierent timbral results here and there. It is worth trying out
both polarities of the Levels.
⚠
Please note that high input levels can produce audible saturation
eects that make the sound edgier and/or more aggressive. To avoid
unwanted distortion in the subsequent stages (e.g. eect section), please
compensate for the gain boost by reducing the output level of the mixer
by using Level (Output Mixer).
The Drive Parameter:
▶
Press Drive (Output Mixer).
▶
Sweep the Encoder across the entire value range.
ߊ Now the output signal of the mixer is passing through a flexible distortion
circuit that produces everything from mild fuzzy distortion up to wildest
sound mangling.
Check out the Drive parameters Fold and Asymmetry as well. To avoid
unwanted distortion in the subsequent stages (e.g. eect section), please
compensate for the gain boost by reducing the output level of the mixer
by using Level (Output Mixer).
▶
Reset all Drive parameters to their default values.
