Noise Generator
Each voice of the SUNSYN has an analogue noise generator. This noise generator either
produces white noise or pink noise. Its level can also be set via a dedicated knob.
The
(Level)
control only affects the signal that is hardwired to
the filter section. It doesn’t affect the noise signal that’s used by a
Routing-Element (You can set this specific level with a Soft-
Controller – We’ll explain this later on.) This works the same way
VCO’s and RCO’s work.
The
(Pink/White)
-button let’s you choose between both noise
types (Pink and White). White noise has equal signal level
throughout the entire sonic range. It’s suited for creating hiss-
sounds among others. Pink noise contains more low frequencies
and is usable for producing ”wind” noise or ”sea“ type noises. Only
the pink noise signal can be used by Routing Elements.
External Input
The SUNSYN is capable of processing external signals. These signals can either be audio
signals or control voltages. The signal is sent into the filter and the VCA. It can be fully treated
by these modules. On top of that, the external signal source is also available in the Routing
Element matrix. Using the Routing Elements, it can be inserted in the SUNSYN’s signal
stream in many ways. External audio signals can be filtered and/or modulated or they can serve
to modulate internal signals of the SUNSYN.
Control voltages can also be sent into and processed by the SUNSYN. They can even
modulate internal signals. Some interesting applications possibilities are explained in Chapter
Routing Elements – Modulomania
.
Connecting:
External signals are sent into the External Input sockets on the backside of the SUNSYN.
Connect your external signal source to both jack inputs if you’re working with stereo signals.
When using mono signals or control voltages, please use the left (Mono) jack. When you’re
only using the left (Mono) input, the signal is sent to all voices. When both inputs are used, the
signal is divided. The signal on the left input is sent to voices 1, 3, 5 and 7. The signal on the
right input is sent to voices 2, 4, 6 and 8.
