Indeed, control rate signals having lower resolution creates a more general approximation and any kind of smoothing is going to then make it impossible to exceed a certain frequency.Acid Mitch wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 2:06 pmThere actually are technical limitations and rational decisions but it has nothing to do with weather you hate the internet or not.DJ Warmonger wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 12:41 pm ...or maybe there are some internet haters that prevent low frequency oscillators from being fast, there are surely not rational or technical limitations.
Audio rate modulation is more taxing for the CPU so it has only become a realistic option more recently. I think The Drop might have been the first time I encountered audio rate modulation in a commercial plugin.
Absolutely. FM is definitely FM and PM definitely is PM. It depends on the destination and location of the modulation source.Acid Mitch wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 2:06 pmYes,Yamaha DX,etc use phase modulation but there’s still alot of actual fm out there.
I don't know exactly how the DX uses PM but if it is modulating the scan rate via PM then this can be viewed as FM in the same manner that reading through an array of values at a different rate changes the pitch.
