when using freq modulation on a sound the pitch of that sound changes.
so if my sound was in C , after the pitch modulation it maybe is somewhere in between F and F#
is there a way to know how freq modulation affects pitch ? so that i can have my sound in the right note i want ?
thanx!
How does fred modulation affects pitch ?

What exactly do you mean, and in which plugin?
In Zebra, when you modulate the oscillator's tune, then it's in semitones. Thus if you modulate it +12.00 with the ModWheel, then turning the ModWheel fully up will result in a pitch of 1 octave higher.
You have to always respect the range of the modulator though. LFOs range from -100% to +100% (multiplied by their amplitude), envelopes go from 0 to 100 and keyfollow goes from -64% to +64%...
Cheers,

I mean in general. but right now i have a problem with the drumsynth aerobic in reaktor.
im sorry to post this here , but as you are the sound,synth guru in the world i though you could give me a hand, also this knowledge can be translated to zebra2 righht ?
so
lets say you have a sinewave playing in C
so you turn the f-mod knob to certain freq at a certain rate.
how to keep my note in c with all this mess ? ao at least how can i have some control of the resulting pitch ?
thanx!

Huh? Hmmm... I havn't used Reaktor in ages, and I'm not quite sure how it's done in that ensemble... I would really need to see it in front of me if I wanted to say something about it.
In my stuff I always use semitones unless otherwise noted. In Bazille for instance you can choose various modes of tuning (semitones, harmonics, beats etc.). There's no common law for this though - I can absolutely not say how it's done in other synths

Currently doing many drum sounds in Zebra, so I know what you mean.giorgiomartini wrote: lets say you have a sinewave playing in C

Simple solution. Have one instance(sequence or audio) playing a normal note like C, or whatever you want to tune the drum to. Then in the other instance of (whatever-plugin) move the freq knob, until it gets in tune with the other plugins notes.
Doing it by ear.
