Triple FM Synth Voice:

Summary: troika’s 

oscillator 2, called the 

Modulator 

in an FM patch, 

is modulating the frequency of

 troika’s 

oscillator 1, called the 

Carrier

 

in an FM patch.

 troika’s

 oscillator 3, which is a secondary 

Modulator 

in an FM patch, is modulating the frequency of

 troika’s

 oscillator 2. The 

sequencer or keyboard sends voltages to

 troika 

while simultaneously 

triggering the envelope generator. The CV output of the envelope 
generator opens the filter and VCA, allowing 

troika’s

 signal to pass 

through. More traditional East Coast patches would incorporate 
separate envelope generators for the filter and VCA.

Audio Path:

 

• 

Create an 

East Coast Synth Voice

 audio path using the sine 

waveform of

 troika’

s oscillator 1.

Control Path:

 

• 

Create an

 East Coast Synth Voice

 control path.

• 

Connect the sine waveform of

 troika’s 

oscillator 2 to the 

Linear FM 

Input 

of oscillator 1.

• 

Connect the sine waveform of

 troika’s

 oscillator 3 to the 

Linear FM 

Input 

of oscillator 2.

• 

Set the 

Linear FM Attenuators

 of 

troika’s 

oscillator 1 and oscillator 

2 to desired positions.

Output

1V/Oct Signal

Gate Signal
