Using the Metavox
Modulation switch
The up/down rocker switch under the MODULATION label on
the right side of the Metavox selects the waveform that will be
used to modulate the pitch of the internal sawtooth or square wave
oscillator only. This control has no effect if the [SYNTHESIS
INPUT] switch is set to NOISE or RIGHT IN = SYNTH. There
are five shapes available, as indicated by the LEDs next to the
switch:
Triangle
This mode selects a triangle wave for the oscillator's modulation.
Use TRIANGLE when you want the smooth up-and-down cycle
of traditional vibrato.
Sample/Hold
This mode selects a sample and hold wave for the oscillator's
modulation. The pitch of the wave will jump randomly from pitch
to pitch, holding a pitch until it's time for the next one.
Triggered
The triggered mode selects a triggered envelope for the oscillator's
modulation. When a trigger occurs, the modulation will cause a
spike in the oscillator frequency. A trigger is any sudden increase
in the input audio level. So, if you play a heavy accent on a note,
the pitch will start high, the quickly slide down. Pressing the
[RESET MOD] button will also cause a trigger. Note that since
there's no repeating waveform in Triggered mode, the [TAP
TEMPO] features have no effect. [RATE] will affect the decay
time of the envelope.
