course, a Frequency CV can expand the
range by a/-5 octaves.
The initial frequency of a channel with all
parameters and modifiers set to 0 is 2Hz.
(Which, if you’re programming rhythmic
modulation, is exactly 120BPM.)
Making use of all the available parameters
and modifiers, maximum frequency range is
approximately as follows:
Lowest:
36.4 hours per cycle.
Highest:
>23,148 Hz (amplitude is 0 above
that)
Exploration
In selecting Mob of Emus’ real-time
controls, it was our goal to encourage
experimentation and exploration. Particularly
when it comes to additive harmonic synthesis
and polyrhythmic modulation patterns,
we encourage you set up a basic patch
and then play with the various harmonic
parameters (Harmonic #, Harmonic Series,
Harmonic Gain, etc.) as well as the Variation
and Random parameters. These make it
extremely easy to quickly audition a huge
variety of options, potentially leading to
the discovery of rich sounds and intricate
rhythmic patterns you might never otherwise
have imagined.
So, now on to the controls.
FREQ/FINE/SEMI
This control sets a channel’s
frequency relative to the
selected octave.
NOTE:
The frequency can be further
modified by the Harmonic # or Harmonic
Series parameter.
In Individual Mode:
Primary:
Sets a channel’s frequency over a
range of +/- 2 octaves.
Option 1:
Allows fine tuning of the channel’s
frequency.
Option 2:
Sets the channel’s tuning to
semitones.
In Hex Mode:
Primary:
Offsets the frequencies of all
channels over a range of +/- 2 octaves.
Option 1:
Offsets the fine tuning of the
frequencies of all channels
Option 2:
Offsets the tuning of all channels in
semitone steps.
OCTAVE/2X
As is obvious from its name,
this control sets a channel’s
octave. In combination with
the frequency control, this is
where you will typically define
a channel as an audio channel
or a modulation source (keeping in mind, of
course, that an audio rate signal can also be a
modulation source).
In Individual Mode:
Primary:
Sets a channel’s octave over a range
of +/- 5 octaves
Option 1:
Doubles the range to +/- 10
octaves.
Option 2:
(Doubles the range to +/- 10
octaves.)
