yes... amplitude... I tend to use the term FM for any audio rate

The Chorus will be different for each voice in that the modulation will be different (LFO Phase)

i get you now, i usually use the audio rate modulator for stuff like that though but super fast lfos could be cool for different kinds of sounds, i tried doing fm with my grid organ though and it sounded good (making this also reminded me about my idea for an additive synth made from analog sines, which I did in the grid and it was cool but not enough partials so I'm going to try making it in reaktor)

oh i see, i guess cos of the analog modelling in the chorus it could make each voice different automatically

The LFO modulator has a pitch of current note mode (so it keytracks)... and then you can use the multiplier from there. It can go well above 20Khz

The Chorus+ has the LFO and it will be a different phase for each note. You can also add a random modulation so each note is a bit different setting.

thanks, i didnt realise the lfo had that as i usually use the classic lfo which doesnt have it, this is easier than putting a seperate sine osc to use the audio rate modulator like i had been doing, its nice to have these options though

i think you could even do distortion on the pitched lfo with the polynom modulator, or ringmod with multiplication in the maths modulator

cheers ill try the random modulation too

Yeah... such a fun playground!

Random per voice modulation on the Chorus+ in the Grid sounds good... gives each voice a bit more variety.

just figured out an easy way to get a probability modulator in the grid that can be used with mod out to mod other stuff, eg if you want to transpose a bassline up an octave 10% of the time or do an effect 10% of the time for some variation

connect the trigger from a note in or a trigger module to the top input of a chance module, and the chance module goes to the top input of a s/h module (the one in the level modules, not the lfo one), the trigger also goes to the bottom input of the s/h, then the s/h goes to a mod out, then just change the chance module to whatever % you want

this is only the probability of whether something is modulated though, so the mod is either on or off 10% of the time etc, i think its also possible to control the mod values so its not just on or off, like weighted random values, but i dont know if id use that, i just wanted it for adding variation to a bassline

a while back i posted i was trying to figure out how to do hard sync with 2 oscs or the sampler before, i must have done something wrong as it works the way i thought, just connect an oscillator to the retrigger input of another oscillator or a sampler (or even a recorder for live input but it doesnt work that well), it will sync the pitch to the pitch of the osc retriggering it

when the 2 oscs pitches are at ratios to each other the sync doesnt work, but when they are detuned to each other it does
