Modulation / LFOs in DIVA = ?!?
2014-01-18T18:24:46+00:00
Hi
To me the modulation part of DIVA is rather strange (and the manual isn't helping very much).
The first thing, which was (and still is) very confusing to me, is that you have to turn the "Depth Mod" knob all the way up to turn OFF modulation (if source-parameter is set to "none").
To me this makes no sense, and I don't know a single other synth, which does it that way.
The second thing is the routing of the LFOs.
It took some time to realize, that the LFOs are hard routed to certain parameters, and I'm still not sure, which parameters those always are.
LFO1 seems to always control pitch. Ok, fine.
LFO2 is labeled with "Mod", and with the DCO OSC Module it's hard wired to PW.
This is not mentioned in the manual, and I'm not sure, which parameters get controlled by LFO2 with other modules.
To me the whole thing is a bit strange, complicated and very unflexible.
There are only 5 additional hard wired mod destinations (and strangely no filter cutoff). And you can't use any of them without having the selected LFO controlling its hard wired parameter ... is this actually right?
So for example I can't modulate the resonance without either also modulating pitch or PW. And I can't modulate Cutoff, ADSR-times, etc. at all.
In my opinion it would make a lot more sense to remove all the hard wiring and just have a simple matrix, where you can select "source" and "destination" for the modulations you want to make.
(And as destination all or most parameters could be included.)
This would make DIVA a lot more flexible and also a lot easier to control.
Or maybe I am terribly overlooking something here?
