JP-8000 style stacking and messing with fundamentals

[FarleyCZ]

Just courious, does the Zebra in stacking mode high pass additional voices? I've read that JP-8000 did that. I'll try some experimenting ASAP, but I thought I could ask first.

Btw do you think JP-8000 filtered whole fundamental out of the additional voices? If so, does that Zebra? :p

And btw talking about fundamentals, when I use fundamental OSC FX, does it synthetise whole fundamental from scratch, or it uses the original it took from the signal? (with it's volume changes, phase etc...)

All I know is at 12 o'clock there's no fundamental at all. As you move towards the left or right it gets louder, one direction normal phase, and one in antiphase.

As to whether it keeps the original sinewave, AFAIK it's academic, because any fundamental from a static single cycle will be a static sine wave. Unless you mean, does it keep it's own phase/initial volume, etc.

Thinking about it, it might be good to know if wavetable animation is taken into account with regards to the fundamental, i.e. does the volume change naturally, but with the offset in volume created by the FX, or is the original sine deleted and a constant one put in it's place. (I didn't get any sleep last night). In which case, dono.

I don't think Zebra highpasses at all, but it might be good practice to at least strip the fundamental in the duplicates. What I tend to do is put a keytracking highpass after the unison osc, and then add the fundamental as a sine or triangle on another lane (super hot unique top pro tip there ). And no it doesn't sound like the JP

Remember that the spectral effects simply manipulate the amplitudes of *all partials*

Apply the Fundamental OscFX to a blank Spectroblend waveset. What happens?

Not just initial. If U do a unisono sound, fundamentals of all saws are blended together, but becouse they're detuned a bit, it causes this "pulsing". (Or I guess it's becouse of that.) Can't try it now, but I believe that this will have effect on volume and phase of result sound's fundamental.

I'll try it when I get home. To delete fundamental by oscFX and add another from extra osc.

In Spectroblend draw a single partial somewhere other than at the far left (ie not at the fundamental). Apply the Fundamental OscFX - what happens? Wink

Can't try it now (miles away from my PC), don't let me guessing please! Does it add fundamental or nothing happens?

It adds the fundamental.
