controls to work. (When disabled, the Mixers work
normally.)
Filter Mix Eff ects (MixFX)
You can add effects to each fi lter mixer, pre- or post-
fi lter.

Filter Output (Output)
All Mixer/Filter section outputs are mixed together to a
stereo signal bus and individually sent to the modula-
tion bus to act as a modulation source (F1 mix, F2 mix,
F3 mix and F4 mix). At times you may want to use this
signal only as a modulation source, and not hear it
through the main stereo bus; using the Mute buttons in
the lower left bottom area of the synth will silence the
mix output in the stereo bus, but keep it available as a
modulation source.
This is a fairly complex issue, but here’s the thought
behind it:
You can use the output of any fi lter mixer as a modula-
tion source. If you turn on a mixer, however, it plays
through the Main Mix outputs, and it is usually the case
that you do not want to hear it there, but only as a par-
ticipant in the modulation path (when using it as a mod
source). Therefore, muting the signal from the Mute
buttons will remove the signal from the audio path, but
not the modulation sources.

Figure 24: Filter Output Summary Page
Clicking on the Outputs button displays a summary
view of all 4
fi lters and fi lter mixers, with key param-
eters such as fi lter type, cutoff frequency, resonance,
envelope amount and source for the mixer, etc. This
provides a quick way to see what is happening with all
4
fi lters/mixers at the same time. Key parameters can
be edited on the Outputs page as well as the individual
fi lter pages.
LFOs
There are 5 LFO sources, counting the vibrato LFO.
The LFOs are listed in the modulation source list as:
SMO (Super Mod Oscillator), lfo-a, lfo-b, and lfo-c.
There is also an LFO Mix/Blend feature allows the mix-
ing of any 4 of these LFOs, or any of the many other
control signals in Solaris, either as a standard mixer
signal, or as a series of signals, one after the other via
the ‘blender’ circuit. The output of the Filter Mix/Blend is
listed as ‘Lfo Mix’ in the mod lists.
Super Modulation Oscillator (SMO)
This special LFO can provide more complex timbres
as it can run at an audio rate and track the keyboard,
thereby suitable for linear modulation of the source
material. It also has more extensive controls over the
amplitude – delay, fade in, and fade out. These param-
eters are calculated from each note-on ( Gate) event.
