Sculpting Timbre with tELHARMONIC: (cont’d)

FM IN :

Another method of exerting external influence upon the tELHARMONIC, allowing for even more complex timbres 

by generating sidebands around all the harmonics created by each algorithm. Typically an analog SINE or 

TRIANGLE waveform from a VCO such as the STO or DPO would be patched to this input. The high harmonic 

content of the N, H and P OUTs on the tELHARMONIC means many sidebands will result from FM and so less 

complex waveforms such as SINE and TRIANGLE will yield the most controllable results. Additionally an LPG or VCA 

such as the Optomix could be patched in series (between the STO and tELHARMONIC) to achieve a dynamic FM 

Index. 

BLEnDING  :

The Noise, Harmonic and Phase Mod voices were designed for fantastic spectral combination. The simplest way to 

do this is using a mixer. However, it is highly useful to have each output patched to its own VCA or LPG (such as the 

modDemix or Optomix) with a unique control signal to allow for the complete animation of dynamics and blend-

ing in creation of the final 

HARMONICS  AND TEMPERAMENT :

There are many settings of the right side of tELHARMONIC in which the upper harmonics dominate the 

spectrum.  Meanwhile, the left side of the tELHARMONIC can be used to force the fundamental pitches of 

the three voices into Equal Temperament.  These two planes of control create the possibility of using two 

tuning systems simultaneously within the same instrument.  In other words, the tELHARMONIC provides the 

opportunity for smooth motion between Just and Equal Temperament.
