zebra fm osc to keyscale 0 %

[gentleclockdivider]

Currently impossible to an fmo to zero % keyscale

One of the great tricks of the dx 7 was to use a modulator routed into a fixed carrier at around 5 hz for phasing vibrao effects .
On the tg77 , the operator could even be set to 0hz and use it as an actual sine shaper

In zebra , the tuning of an operator can be brought down by controlling the pitch by the constant of a multi mix r module , but still there is that -2/+2 keytracking ...which can't be set to 0


On a side note , there is still that bug when an fmo is ridiculously low tuned and set to stereo , we hear the mirrored frequencies ( verry high )

As we're gearing up for a major upgrade, I'm not sure we can do this in its current incarnation. But yeah, more elaborate tuning options similar to Bazille are on the wish list.

I did not know that (or it fell out of my memory). Would you have a preset and/or mp3?

You can set the key scaling of the FMOs on the FMO tab, including setting them to 0%, or even negative values.

I quickly made a simple preset that uses an FMO for the vibrato. You can download it here.

I tuned this by ear, but it should be close enough to 5hz.

Hehehe, curious to see how deep one can get the frequency down...

Link does not seem to be working for me? I'm curious what the applications are for this.

Ohh sorry, I fixed the link.

Of course it can! Hold down SHIFT for fine tuning of any values, including this.

Way down! How slow do you want? In this example, the mod wheel sends FMO2 pitch from ridiculously slow (not sure whether 0Hz) to supersonic. Also try swapping the positions of the FMOs in the grid.

Cool! Never thought of that

Been experimenting with slow FM.
Here's an example. Use aftertouch, mod wheel...

Awesome as usual

It's also cool to use FMOs as modulators for XMFs, which can be used as sound sources at high resonance settings.

I quickly made an example patch which uses an FMO to modulate and XFM. The FMO modulates between LFO and audio rates. Don't turn up the mod wheel

Here is the preset: Buchla Bubbles

Been mangling Delta's patch - oh what fun!

Holy sh*t!! This thread is turning into gold! Great patches... thank you for sharing.
