Some rules explaining how this effect works:
In this effect, voices are placed in the “room” (for the moment this room as no effect on the
sound, that means no reverb, no phasing effect). There are two microphones to record
what happens in the room. There is a correction in order to remove the level and the delay
for the shorter path between a voice and a microphone.
In that way, there is no delay for the shorter path.
This means that:
•
If the microphones are at the same place, there is no Left/right difference between
voices; the level of the voice only is affected.
•
If all the voices are at the same place, there are no differences betweens voices:
The stereo effect takes CPU without any effects.
7.5.3 PolyMYX
The PolyMYX is the 3 rd Modulation Matrix available in the PolyKB
7.5.3.1 PolyMYX Modulation Sources
In this matrix the sources are fixed, as they are fixed by the order in which the notes are played on
the Keyboard, or triggered by the Arpegiattor or the Polyphonic sequencer.
Therefore this module will offer dynamic modulation if the Polyphonic Circular or Polyphonic Reset
modes are selected, and static modulation for all other monophonic modes.
The PolyMyx is an XY Pad type. You can freely drag/move the points position on it.
A point ( red circle ) represents a note played on the keyboard. The number of points is related to the
polyphony settings. ( ie A polyphony of 8 notes will generate 8 points )
When the Polyphony is set to "Circular mode", the first note played will activate the first point, the
second note the second point, etc until the last point, then a new cycle is initiated. So each incoming
note is associated with a point.
Please note that the PolyMyx is also affected by the Unison settings. If the Unisson is set to two
voices, each incoming note will activate TWO points.
This makes the PolyMyx a truly unique and fascinating tool that is able to offer both very
predictable modulations, used combined with an arpegiattor or a simple sequence in the Polyphonic
Sequencer, where the order of the notes played is repeated in a predictable way, and totally
unpredictable ones when playing on the keyboard natural chords progressions or chorus, licks etc.
The modulations can be everything from very subtle to thoroughly wild and devastating, as the
amount of modulation across the two XY axes is fully controlled by four dedicated knobs.
