Frequency modulation
(FM or CROSS MOD in case of the Jupiter) can be created between 2
oscillators by connecting the audio output from a first oscillator to the modulation input of a second
oscillator. On the Jupiter-8V, if you turn the CROSS MOD knob, you will obtain a sound that is richer
in harmonics. If you introduce a square or sawtooth signal, the result can be quickly distorted… but
interesting for enharmonic sonorities like bell sounds or special effects for example.
7.1.2
The Noise generator
The noise signal produces acoustic energy across a broad spectrum of frequencies with no
discernible “fundamental” or harmonic signature. For this reason, the noise module is used to
create different noises like the imitation of wind or special effects. White noise is the richest of
noises. Pink noise is also regularly present on synthesizers. It is less rich in the high frequencies than
white noise.
In the Jupiter-8V section, you will find the noise generator as a selectable waveform on OSC 2
7.1.2
The Mixer
The audio signal generated by an oscillator (the waveform) is generally directed toward a filter
module (
Voltage Controlled Filter
).
•
With the mixer of the Jupiter-8V:
you are able to set the volume between OSC1 and 2 with
the « Source Mix » knob. The mixer has no modulation input. Therefore this setting is to be
done manually.
