Modulation Depth Modulation...

Modulation Depth Modulation...

2012-07-28 by bimmerfan222

No, I didnt stutter.. ;)


I was thinking, what if you could use one of the SLFO algorithms to modulate the Depth control of one or more LFO's.

Seems the coding is mostly there, just needs to be applied to the value of the depth setting.

When I change depth control, it sounds like the LFO amplitude goes up higher.. it also dives down further.. plus it sounds like the width/duration widens up as well.

I think it'd be a really cool addition if you could apply a triangle, ramp, sine, S&H or PW  waveform that follows one of the SLFO's freq.. I've tried drawing what the waveform would look like with say:

A triangle LFO1 cross modd'd to a ascending ramp SLFO3.. then those two ride on the depth modulation that is tied to SLFO4.

The waveform picture I come up with is very wild looking.

I'm still getting use to all the cross modulation on the Poly.. maybe it already does this with SLFO/LFO combos at the heart.. I'm not sure, so I thought I'd ask.

You should add "I was thinking, what if you could use one of the SLFO algorithms to modulate the Depth control of one or more LFO's." as a feature request on the hawk800 sourceforge site.

That is definitely something worth looking into.

Done.

But what is that site?  It doesnt look like a discussion forum like this place..  

I take it the Depth value isnt currently affected by any of your coding short of the ability to change it from 0-15?


I'm slowly grasping ALP..  I've barely scratched the surface of course.. still understanding how the stack works and all the instruction sets... seems to be a good book.. just a little unexciting until later on where it begins to interface with real world devices..
For now, it's simple example codes like MOV LDA STA.  Very first code example is to compliment a binary number (for negative logic output).
