Patch Ideas: (cont’d)
Ring Modulation with increased fundamental presence
Patch VCO output such as a sine wave to Ch1 Signal IN, and modulating signal such as another sine waveto Ch2 Carrier/CV IN. Take
output from SUM OUT. Adjust balance of RM signal and fundamental with the STRENGTH knobs.
modDemod
To ease the patching of modDemod eects, Signal 2 IN is normaled to Signal 1 OUT, thus connecting the two circuits in series.
Patch Signal to be processed to Signal 1 IN. Patch Carrier to Carrier/CV1 IN, and also (via multiple) to Carrier/CV2 IN. Take output
from Signal 2 OUT. The variation from circuit to circuit will introduce demodulation errors that sound as distortions. Using the
Strength controls, it is possible to introduce more errors and greatly reduce the integrity of the resulting signal. A nice variation on
this patch uses a pair of independent Carrier VCOs, which are tuned to the same frequency, but not synced. Variations in wavesh-
ape and Phase inaccuracies between the two VCOs will introduce more demodulation errors and distortions.
Octave UP
Patch your signal to be processed to Signal 2 IN, and (via multiple) to Signal 2 Carrier/CV IN, and Signal 1 Carrier/CV IN. Patch Signal
2 OUT into Signal 1 IN, and take the output from SUM Out. Use the STRENGTH controls to adjust timbre and blend of octaves.
DPO Supersaw
This patch uses voltage controlled inversion to derive a sawtooth wave from the DPO’s Final Output. Mixing it with the VCOA
Sawtooth produces a slightly unconventional, but nonetheless classic, supersaw.
Turn o all modulation to Final output parameters and the MOD BUS. Adjust FOLD panel control to ~9:00 so the output is full
amplitude but with no folds yet. Adjust ANGLE panel control to 12:00, listening for the fullest sound available. Adjust SHAPE panel
control full CW (100%) to “glitched triangle”.
DPO Final OUT -> modDemix Ch1 InputDPO Square -> modDemix Ch1 Carrier/Mod Input
DPO Sawtooth -> modDemix Ch2 Input
modDemix SUM -> Monitor
Detune the two sawtooths to taste, and set levels with the modDemix STRENGTH controls. The sawtooth derived from the FINAL
output will be one octave above its original pitch, and it will also contain a slight “spike” at its peaks and troughs (because of its
origins as a “glitched” triangle, as well as varying slightly in amplitude every other period (because of the DC oset in the DPO’s
square wave).
Combined with the unusual sawtooth shape on VCO A, which has a stronger-than-usual fundamental, this patch produces a
supersaw with character!
