Subject: Re: Update (motm-480)

from message #21430:

Extreme abuse of the MOTM-480 CS-80 VCF:

www.synthtech.com/demo/rr_480demo.mp3

There are 2 "abuses" of the VCF:

a) the voltage-controlled resonance input is being modulated by a
sine wave at ∗audio∗ rates(generated by MOTM-300)
b) the BP Output is patched back to a VCF ∗input∗. The feedback level
is on a panel pot, and manually tweaked.

The repeating sequence is an Encore UEG, driving 2 MOTM-300 VCOs. One
is the "pitch", the other is driving the resonance input at 1 octave
higher. The LP Output then goes through a 'traditional' VCA (MOTM-
190) enveloped by a basic AR shape (MOTM-800).

No other processing is used (reverb, filters, etc). All of the timbre
is the result of cross-modulation products in the MOTM-480, having
the resonance "fight off" the driving signal, and your basic
overload/clipping :)
