What are the possible uses of "+5v" as modulation source?

[point.source]

Hi there!

I'm having a hard time to understand what exactly this modulations source does.

In the manual says that "+5V - constant "voltage". Can be used e.g. to create DC (direct current) offsets or modulate parameters beyond their normal ranges. Tip: to invert any signal, connect it to the mod input (!) of a multiple, then connect +5v to input 3 or 4..."

I'm not familiar with this electronic jargon, i don't know what DC offset is and the manual only give us 1 use for this source.


I would like to know how to use this source, i mean, practical examples. Where else can we connect it?

What happens if we connect into the multiple's inputs 1 & 2?

I just wanna be able to fully use all the features of this great synth.

Thx a lot

DC offset is a static control signal.

Here is a real world example...

In the example you cited, you have to keep in mind that the multiples can act as balanced modulators (ring mod) when you send a bipolar signal to the control input. Since inputs 3 and 4 respond to the control input in the opposite way that inputs 1 and 2 do (so that the multiple can also act as a cross-fader), sending a positive voltage to the control input will invert the polarity of inputs 3 and 4.

It can be useful as a control signal or as a means to modify an audio signal. Like any output in Bazille, it can be connected to any input, so experiment!

I think you meant to write:
"Since inputs 3 and 4 respond to the control input in the opposite way that inputs 1 and 2 do (so that the multiple can also act as a cross-fader), sending a positive voltage to input 3 or 4 and your signal to the mod input will invert the signal's polarity."

Thank you, Howard. I'm still dealing with jet-lag from a 13 hour flight so my thoughts aren't coming out so clear.
