Page 6: The Routing
The Routing The routing section is the most important part of the Nyx v2 synthesizer. Understanding how it works, is the key to create complex sounds. There are 2 routing controls (+ the MOD Routing, which is ex- plained on the Filter section), VCO and VCF. - Page 7 HALF: Both VCOs are being sent to VCF2. VCO1 VCF1 VCO2 VCF2 VCF ROUTE LP: Stands for LOW PASS. Both filters are set to a Low Pass mode and in series. VCF1 VCF2 BP: Stands for BAND PASS. The filters are in series, but VCF1 is on HP mode and VCF2 is on LP mode. VCF1 VCF2 HP: Stands for HIGH PASS.
