Tips & Tricks
• Noise as FM Source for an oscillator gives a coloured noise output whose character can be
changed with FM Amount, the oscillator waveform and the pitch of the oscillator.
• Use Envelope 3 or 4 to blend in one of the oscillators. If you e.g. need a small blip in the
attack phase, just use a free oscillator and a short percussive envelope to create this effect.
You can do that in the Modulation Matrix by setting the source to Env3 or Env4, the
destination to O1Level, O2Level or O3Level and setting up a positive amount. If this blip
should be noisy, use FM with Noise as source for this oscillator to control the strength of
the noise.
• For a classic “Filter Trigger” sound, you don’t need to actually use a filter. You can also
use a sine oscillator that is pitch modulated by an envelope. This frees up the two filters
and you can use them to perform other tasks, e.g. filtering noise for a snare drum sound or
the like.
• Use the LFO as FM Sources. With this technique, you get up to six oscillators frequency-
modulating each other to create extremely complex timbres. Just keep in mind that the
LFO have a maximum speed of around 2500Hz and that they can produce aliasing side
effects.
• Use the wavetables as FM sources. If a LFO modulate the wavetable at the same time you
will create
really amazing sounds.
• For extremely wide sounds, you can do the following: Create a sound that uses only Filter
1 with the desired settings. Now set Routing to 64 so that both filters are routed to the
panning stages with equal volume. Set Filter 2 to a comb filter type with middle or low
cutoff and no resonance. Now put the Pan parameters of the filters to opposite directions
and you should get a very fat sound. You can create further movement by applying an
LFO to the comb filter cutoff.
