Routing
The Malström puts you in total control of how the signal should be routed from
the oscillators, through the filters and on to the outputs. Below is first a general
description of the routing options, followed by examples of how to route the sig-
nal in order to achieve a certain result.
D Click on a button so that it is lit, to route the signal correspondingly.
See below for descriptions.
! Note that the result depends both on the routing buttons and on
whether the filters and shaper are activated or not!
Routing examples
One or both oscillators without filters
With this configuration, the signals from the oscillators will bypass the filters and
the shaper and go directly to the respective output. Using both oscillators allows
you to use the Spread parameter to create a true stereo sound.
One or both oscillators to one filter only
Both oscillators routed to filter:B only. Both oscillators routed to filter:A only.
With these configurations, the signal from osc:A and/or osc:B will go to either
filter:A or filter:B and then to the outputs. This is essentially a mono configuration
and hence Spread should probably be set to “0”.
If this button is lit, the signal from osc:B
is routed to filter:B. If this is not lit, the
signal from osc:B will go straight to the
outputs.
If this button is lit, the signal from filter:B is routed to filter:A via the shaper.
The signal from filter:B can originate from either osc:A, osc:B or both. If this
is not lit, the signal from filter:B will go straight to the outputs.
If this button is lit, the signal from osc:A
is routed to filter:B. If neither this nor the
other routing button from osc:A (to
filter:A/shaper) is lit, the signal from
osc:A will go straight to the outputs.
If this button is lit, the signal from osc:A is routed to filter:A via the shaper. If neither this nor
the other routing button from osc:A (to filter:B) is lit, the signal will go straight to the outputs.
