Fractal Modulation:
The multimode filter also has a unique modulation feature-
clicking the
MOD
button activates a ‘fractal’ LFO for adding interesting and
dynamic movement to the filter. The ‘fractal’ LFO is similar to a standard
Sample&Hold random modulator, but achieves much more musical results since
it produces patterns of modulation featuring the self-similarities typical of fractal
figures. With
MOD
activated, depth and rate are set for the fractal modulation by
using the same controls as AMP modulation in the modulation section for the
layer. When
MOD
is inactive, these controls serve their standard function for
AMP modulation. Please note that the LFO mode switch (OFF, FREE, INV,
SYNC) does not affect the ‘fractal’ LFO which modulates the filter frequency.
6.1.5 Three Band EQ
Each layer in EVE has a powerful three band equalizer for balancing low, mid,
and high frequencies of the sound. Each band uses its own separate code for
the highest quality, which also means that each band introduced at a non-zero
value will add CPU consumption. This flexibility also enables you to set any band
not in use at zero by a left mouse click on it holding down the control key, so that
the band will move to IDLE mode and will not process audio, thus minimizing
CPU consumption.
6.1.6 LFO
LFO stands for Low Frequency Oscillator. EVE’s LFOs are modulation sources
that generate SINE waveforms aimed at specific modulation targets. Each layer
in EVE has independent modulators for pitch (PTH), amplitude (AMP), and
panning (PAN). Further, each LFO can be used in three running modes –
FREE
sets the LFO free running regardless of note messages,
SYNC
re-starts the
modulation with every note, and
INV
also restarts on every note, but the
waveshape is inverted.
The
send
and
rate
controls of the AMP group also affect the depth and rate of
the ‘fractal’ LFO that can be used to modulate the multimode filter frequency (see
multimode filter section for more details). Please remember that the ‘fractal’ LFO
is activated by the MOD button, whereas the AMP LFO is activated by the switch
(OFF, FREE, INV, SYNC)
in the AMP group.
