Waveforms of the modulation section
We’ve already explained this example with the help of sine oscillation.
The LFO can be in:
• Sine form
• Square wave (0 or 1, no intermediate level)
• Random value (an internal randomizer will be queried at the set
speed)
Oscillator speed
The LFO speed is specified with the "speed“ dial. If the "sync“ button
is active, then the LFO adapts to the song speed, and the dial locks
musical values into place (e.g. ¼ note). Rhythmic paths of the sound
distortion are therefore enabled. You can also switch off this
synchronization and set the speed manually (in Hz).
Modulation with the "Envelope follower“
In the modulation section you’ll find a fourth button, the audio input
signal. If this mode is active, then the signal itself can be called upon
to extract “modulation tension”; a so-called "envelope follower"
continuously scans the volume of the input signal.
Note: The BitMachine doesn’t recognize the type of audio signal
automatically. For this reason, you should set the input sensitivity
roughly with the "gain“ dial. To do this, use the control LED: With
accurate detection of the signal dynamics, assigning the four small
dials to modulation lows is easier and you can use the full control
range.
In envelope mode, the "speed“ dial is used to control the response
speed of the envelope (the display now switches to milliseconds).
Lower times result in a faster response, higher times make the
envelope rise (and fall) slower. You should experiment with the signal
according to its complexity. The presets provided can only point you
in a rough direction.
