Synth Voice
Since Morgasmatron feature two filters, you can use one as an oscillator and the second as a filter,
thereby turning Morgasmatron into a stand-alone synth voice.
1. Follow steps 1-5 in the Dual Sine Wave Oscillator section (above) to configure Morgasmatron’s
Filter A to function as an oscillator.
2. Set the SERIES / PARALLEL SWITCH to the up (Series) position, such that the output of
Filter A feeds directly into Filter B.
3. Remove the jack from OUT A (which is currently feeding into your audio monitoring system) and
insert it into OUT B instead.
You are now monitoring the output of Filter B, which is being fed by Filter A.
4. Experiment with different MODE B filter settings, and play around with the Cutoff , Q , Q-Drive
and IN B levels. Filter B is acting as a filter for the oscillator produced by Filter A.
TIP: Using OVERDRIVE on Filter A is a great way to add additional harmonics for Filter B to act
upon. Also, setting Filter A’s Q-DRIVE to high levels will also add some soft clipping and grit to
the filter.
5. If you don’t want Filter B to track your keyboard/sequencer pitch, simply insert a dummy plug
into Filter B’s 1V/OCT input (which breaks the normalling to Filter A’s 1V/OCT input).
If you want the filter to only partially track your keyboard/sequencer pitch, you can mult the
signal being sent to Filter A’s 1V/OCT input — sending full 1V/OCT to Filter A (to control
oscillator pitch), while running the second mult’s output through an attenuator (like a Triatt or
Quadratt) before feeding it into the 1V/OCT input of Filter B.
