Hey guys,
Here I come again. BTW, isnīt it funny how this is basically the only forum in the internet, where every second question is not being answered with: Read the manual. Cause there is no manual...
Well, I was fiddling around with modulating the waveshapers with tuned audio rate oscillators, having quite a specific waveshape in mind, I wanted to hear. I am using the oh so wonderful 0-coast as a modulation source and I am looking at the resulting wave on an oscilloscope in VCV Rack. Check it out, its free and a lot of fun.
Well, seeing the wave and approaching the synthesis this technically, I confirmed my suspicions, that I donīt get, how the modulation exactly works. Because, when the waveshaper (e.g. the metallizer) is turned down all the way, even a full force (I guess at the 0-coast that means 8V) constant offset voltage does not change the sound at all. So I thought, when a cable was plugged in, the Metallizers knob would switch to being an attenuator, allowing you to regulate, how much you want the incoming signal to mudulate its position (which would be great), but that does not seem to be the case.
When the metallizer is turned up all the way, I can push it seemingly even a little further by applying a contant offset voltage, even though it is just a little. Since I am still rather new to the electronic side of things, I wondered, if this might be the fluctuations in the incoming voltage, or if something entirely different is happening here.
Well, in a nutshell, I guess, I am wondering, how incoming voltage is applied to the waveshapers?
