EFFECT PATCH IDEAS
4 Stepped filter (S&H): patch HOLD to FILTER MOD, CYCLE the envelope,
and use the RATE fader to control the speed of the modulation. Set pitch
high for a seemingly random character; set it low for a staircase effect.
5 Distortion/audio modulated filter: bring up the POP to hear the
oscillator PULSE affecting the filter. Patch ENV to PWM to animate that
sound. Turn down POP, patch TRI to FILTER MOD, and use the fader for
a different flavor. Use the sequencer or MIDI to control the oscillator.
Bring up RESONANCE and patch DYNAMICS to PITCH MOD for even
crazier effects.
6 Ring modulator: patch TRI to ACCENT and use PITCH fader to set the
ring modulation carrier. Alternatively, patch TRI to Y and XY to ACCENT
to gain control over the amount of ring modulation. Use PULSE signal
instead (or mix it with TRI in XY) for an even harsher sound. Combine
with resonant filtering for more timbral options. Use the sequencer or
MIDI to control the oscillator.
7 Compressor/expander/side-chain: patch DYNAMICS to Y and XY to
ACCENT. Now the loudness of the OUTPUT is affected by the loudness of
the INPUT. When turning the XY knob to the left, you will get a compressor
effect, and, turning it to the right past 12 o'clock, you will get the expander
effect.
8 Side-chain: you can achieve the side-chain compression ducking
effect by modifying the previous compressor patch by plugging your main
signal to the FILTER IN and the side chain signal to INPUT (but note that
the INPUT signal is still going to be mixed into the filter). Try side-chain
filtering by patching the XY into the CUTOFF instead.
