Mixer
You can easily mix the signals coming from the oscillators in the Oscillator section on the front
panel or the Mix section on the LCD:
1. Mix VCO1:
This parameter controls the volume coming from Oscillator 1.
2. Mix VCO2:
This parameter controls the volume coming from Oscillator 2.
3. Sub1:
This parameter controls the volume coming from the Sub-Oscillator linked to
Oscillator 1. This sub-oscillator produces a squarewave one octave below the played note.
4. Sub2:
This parameter controls the volume coming from the Sub-Oscillator linked to
Oscillator 2. This sub-oscillator either produces a squarewave one octave below the
played note or regulate the noise volume if the Noise waveform is enabled.
Not accessible from the front panel - only editable via screen controls:
5. Ext In Left/Right:
These two parameters control the volume of the incoming external
audio signals, if there are external sources connected to the 008’s Audio Input.
You can process any instrument producing a ‘line’ signal (e.g. a drum machine, another
synth or DAW output) with our VCF and VCA, through a pure analogue signal path.
You have two separate controls for L and R Inputs, so you can effectively process two
separate mono sources: please bear in mind that Left input is wired to voices 5 and 7,
while Right input to 6 and 8. If there is no source plugged, this parameter is inactive.
Please note that external inputs are available on VCO2 only, with the Mix VCO2 encoder
working as an overall oscillator volume. This means that if you want to hear the external
inputs only, you need to disable Triangle, Saw, Pulse and Sub2 and turn up the Mix VCO2
level.
Please note that mixer levels over 200 begin to drive the oscillator into the filter and will cause
distortion. If two or more VCOs are set to the maximum value of 255 it can cause clipping, so
if you want a clean sound please stay below 200.
