8.1 FM Synthesis
Patch Name: Planets Calling Earth
FM Synthesis is created when one waveforms frequency controls the frequency of
another. In its purest form the controller is a ‘modulator’ and destination is called a
‘carrier’. FM can create unique metal-like sounds. Pulsar-23 has the ability to emulate
the principles of FM synthesis, in this case using the LFO as a Modulator. This patch
can be expanded and is a starting point to develop an FM orientated design. Try
tweaking the parameters to develop a sound.
1.
The ‘10V’ Pin is used to trigger the BASS module and to create a drone in order
to sustain the sound which will help when tweaking and developing the sound.
2.
The LFO with a triangle wave is used as the modulator. Set the LFO switch to
{Hi} for a high frequency in the audio range.
3.
To offer even more modulation the LFO frequency itself is modulated by the
SHAOS module, in this example using a 3-Bit Pin.
