FM Block
The Frequency Modulation (FM) function gives you additional modulation control over the
sound, letting you apply the FM signal (called the "modulator") to the VCO 1 (here called
the "carrier"), letting you dramatically change the harmonic complexity of the sound. In
the FM block, the Depth of the modulation can be controlled; however, additional detailed
parameters are available in the
. The lamps (VCO 2, VCO 1, OTHER) indi-
cate the modulator (source) for the FM signal, determined in the
parameter. To see
an indication of the FM modulation path, enable the
in the Display Option
window.
•
• DEPTH
Range: -64 ... +63
This determines the amount of modulation created by the FM function. Higher values
result in greater modulation depth. Although the overall sound depends on the setting of
the FM parameters in the
, higher Depth values generally result in a more
clangorous sound.
• This parameter differs from that in FM Synthesis (such as used by DX-series synthesizers).
Extreme settings will change the pitch of the pattern.
• When the
is set to "Multi Saw," the Depth setting has no effect.
MIXER Block
As its name implies, the Mixer module lets you control the levels of the various sound
sources of the AN200.
• VCO 1 (VCO 1 Level)
Range: 0 ... 127
This determines the balance of the VCO 1 level in relation to the VCO 2, Ring Modulator,
Feedback, and Noise levels. Higher values result in a higher VCO 1 level. When not
using VCO1, set the value to "0."
• VCO 2 (VCO 2 Level)
Range: 0 ... 127
This determines the balance of the VCO 2 level in relation to the VCO 1, Ring Modulator,
Feedback, and Noise levels. Higher values result in a higher VCO 2 level. When not
using VCO2, set the value to "0."
