Rhodes CHROMA - Modulation Selections

STRUCTURE
Pairing Channels
Much more synthesizer power ts available when
the channels are paired together. This yeilds two
glides. two sweeps, four envelopes. two oscillators,
two waveshapers, two filters and two amplifiers, in
addition ta the performance controls. The range of
shapes avaîlable with fOUf envelopes is vast. Having
two sweeps ts extremely use fui. wüh one usually
being reserved for vibrato. When the channels are
paired, there are fifteen dirfcrent ways that the audio
LJuilding blacks can be patched together, including
three forms of non-linear crossmodulation. ring-mod,
syne and filter FM. The chaiee is controUed by the
P,t.tch parameter, which is parameter number 1 in
eal.:h program. And, of course, either channel has
access to the control signals generated by the
opposite channel, sa the patching possibilities are
limitless.

MODULATION SELECTIONS
The oscillator has three modulation inputs, the
waveshaper one, and the filter three more. These
seven modulation inputs each use two parameters,
one ta select the control signal ta be used and the
other to adjust the amount, or depth of modulation.
The sixteen selections of modulation sources are the
same for aU these inputs. and are thus called the
general modulation selections. This list of selections
is probably the most important list' for the pro·
gnlmmer ta memorÎze. It can be found in the appro-
priate seven places in the Table of Parameters in the
back of this manuaI.
