Control Inputs (cont.)
Frequency Controls (cont.)
The Linear FM input is well suited to audio-rate FM via other VCOs, fast cycling functions from MATHS, or self-patching from
the XPO itself. The input is normalled to a version of the Sub Oscillator output, which allows for the superimposition of sub-
harmonics without the need to mix in the Sub-Oscillator with the other waveform outputs.
FM Depth sets the amount of Linear FM. It can be voltage controlled via the CV input. Dynamic FM is useful for creating
dynamic harmonic profiles with voltage control, sounds that go from overly rich in harmonics to simple and void of
harmonics.The input attenuator is a combo pot - it acts as a panel control, and becomes an attenuator for incoming CV when
patched. Current FM Depth is indicated in Red via the FM Depth Activity Window. Keep in mind that when the Linear FM input
is unpatched the FM Depth control is still active, controlling the amount of FM from the XPO’s Sub Oscillator.
The XPO features a unique Sync circuit. The XPO will attempt to match the frequency of the incoming signal at the Sync
input. In practice this makes all Pitch/frequency controls of the XPO into timbre controls as well. This sync circuit could be
described as something like a “medium sync.” The window for acceptable oscillator resets is wider than that of soft sync
(which barely resets) and hard sync (which always resets). The result is a rippling effect as the sync source’s pitch is swept.
You may hear “peaks” of hard sync and “valleys” of missing resets in the outputs of the XPO.
