and slider (white)
This switch selects either Noise (white or pink) or Ring Modulation with the white slider being used to feed the appropriate level into the Audio Mixer.
Along with the S/H Modules, the Ring Modulator is one of Oddity3’s more esoteric features. The Ring Modulator inter-modulates VCO1 and VCO2 and produces a single complex waveform that contains the sums and differences of the two oscillator frequencies. Experiment with applying different VCO tunings, pulse width and sync settings to create a host of tones such as bells, chimes, gongs, metallic and percussive sounds.
A favourite musical use of the Ring Modulator is to set up a lead or bass sound with the ring mod slider also opened. Make sure the sound is set to duophonic mode but when playing, use it monophonically. Now, by adding an occasional second note (fifth’s work well), you’ll get some neat harmonic overtones and distorted textures.
and Volume slider for Sub Oscillator Level (orange)
Use this switch to select the basic waveform for the Sub Oscillator before using the orange slider to apply the level of the Sub VCO sent into the Audio Mixer.
and Volume slider for VCO1 Level (blue)
Use this switch to select the basic waveform for VCO1 before using the blue slider to apply the level of VCO1 sent into the Audio Mixer.
and Volume slider for VCO2 Level (green)
In the same way as with VCO1, use this switch to select the basic waveform for VCO2 and using the green slider apply the required level of VCO2 into the Audio Mixer.
