3. Do the same as in ‘2’ but connect an audio wave instead of an LFO.
4. Connect a
AD ENV 1
with short
ATTACK
and
RELEASE
to the
VCA1
and
trigger it with medium rated LFO. Connect the
ASR ENV 2
to the
VCA1
CV
with a short
ATTACK
and a long
RELEASE
. Connect the output to the
VCA2
CV
. Play the sound gating manually the
ASR ENV 2
.
NOISE
ANTS!
has a transistor based analog white noise generator. It’s labelled as
‘
Z
’ and it has only one patch point, the
NOISE
OUT. This is a +/-5V noise
source. Noise is random, chaos. Its output is normalled to the
S/H
SIG
IN.
You can use it to mix it in many ways. Some tips:
- Mix it with the bass drum patch (on the
ENVELOPES
section of the manual)
to create a Snare Drum sound.
- Mix it with an oscillator in the
VCF
mixer to add some dirt to the sound.
- Connect it to the VCA or the
VCF
CV
inputs to ‘noise modulate’ the sound.
- Modulate an oscillator with it to create a ‘tuned noise’ sound.
MIXER
There is simple 3 input mixer,
MIX
, incorporated in the synth. IN1 is goes
directly to the mixing section.
IN2
and
IN3
goes through an attenuverter and
then to the mixing section. Despite the fancy name an attenuverter is
simple device. When it is in the centre position the signal is 0. If you turn it
CW the signal will be added to the mixing section
normally. But if you turn it CCW the signal will be
inverted. The positive voltage will be the negative
and vice versa. This way you can mix sound waves
and CV signals in many ways. You can also use it as a
simple attenuator by using only 1 of the inputs (for
example to attenuate the signal that will modulate
the
XTOSC·X
PWM IN). mix different waves and
control voltages in to it to see the results yourself.
TIPS:
1. Use the
MIDI TO CV
CV2
with the velocity mode.
