Subject: About the Cross Mod Demo

Drew asked about the 120 - I say it is essential MOTM! Not only does
it make a great audio sub-oscillator (down to 4 octaves!) you can
divide LFO-type stuff too. But the crux of the bisquit (God rest
Frank's soul) is cross mod.

When you put an audio signal in IN A and an LFO (sine works best) in
IN B then send the OUT to an oscillator, you get a cool sequencer-like
thing. By tweezing the variuos knobs on the 120 you get variations.
Here's the patch that produced the demo:

- SIN OUT of 300 to A IN of 120
- SINE OUT of 320 to B IN of 120-
- OUTPUT of 120 to 1V/OCT ∗of the same 300∗ (this give that ripped
timbre - you could drive another 300 if you wanted).
- Tweeze SUBx and A IN knobs for variations

for the syncopation:
- PULSE OUT of the 320 to EXT CLK of the 101 S&H
- S&H OUT of the 101 to FM1 of the 300 - tweez the FM1 knob to add
more or less syncopation, high level give the mayhem at the end of the
demo.

The 120 is such a cool module. I think everybody needs one...

Mike

PS - if you're counting, that's only 4 modules for some mighty cool noise.
