Some Ideas For Uses Of Flexi Controllers; Pink Noise And White Noise; Pulse Width Settings - Panda-Audio Future Impact v3 User Manual

Note:​ The PULSE WIDTH OFFSET behaves differently than might otherwise be
expected when used to control the pulse width of the VCO3/VCO4 LFOs. Ordinarily,
when PULSE WIDTH OFFSET is used to control the square waves of the​ VCO ​ s , the
waveform is symmetrical at 0 and is a narrow pulse at 127. By contrast, when PULSE
WIDTH OFFSET is used to control the pulse width of the VCO3/VCO4 ​ L FOs ​ , it is
symmetrical (50% duty cycle) at 64; settings of 0 and 127 equate to duty cycles of
approximately 10% and 90% respectively. See the diagram below:

● Pink Noise and White Noise:
The white noise generator generates random, non-consecutive values. The noise is
sampled at the frequency of VCO3 LFO. So if you use it, for example, to control the
pitch of a VCO using a Flexi Controller in quantized mode, then you get something
resembling a random arpeggio played at the speed of the VCO3 LFO.
The pink noise generator is lowpass filtered white noise. You can use it in a similar
way to a triangle or sine-wave LFO, but the vibration is irregular and moves around
completely randomly. The speed of the random movement can be adjusted with
VCO4 LFO frequency.

Some ideas for uses of Flexi Controllers

Here are just a few examples of the ways in which Flexi Controllers could be used to create
sounds on the FI that weren't previously possible prior to version 3.00:
● Set up two notch filters using the MID FREQ controls in the graphical EQ editor then
assign LFO to sweep both mid frequencies to mimic a 4-stage phaser;
