With all these options it seems like a scope for a selected mod signal might be in order...pdxindy wrote:Invert will invert a signal... so an envelop +20 on a parameter will be same as that parameter set to -20 without invert. So unless someone has some situation where a single parameter is useful with invert I think it does not matter cause you can already tuen a modulation knob either way... however, with multiply and add, you can invert one signal in relation to another and here it is useful.DrGonzo wrote:Ah... well, actually I was thinking about the modificaions page where there are a couple of highly interesting labels such as rectify and invert. Have been looking through the presets but still haven't found any that make use of this section. Any idea of how to use it?zerocrossing wrote:Are you talking about overdriving the filter? It doesn't seem that Diva is set up for that, at least not in the way that DCAM or Olga does it. (or should I say "over does it?" You'll probably have to post process it. I think Urs said that type of behavior was more of a modern synth thing and he wanted to remain true to Diva's "vintage" emulation style.
It is cool to use two envelopes with add with one inverted for some unusual envelop shapes such as a quick attack but which then swells in volume... for parameters with only one modulation control, this is useful as well... For example High Pass Filter cutoff only has the one modulation. If you want to put some keytracking, you have to put the knob to the plus... then if you also wanted to have an env subtract, you would use invert and put invert and keytrack in add...
Rectify I thought I understood that it would make an LFO unipolar rather than bipolar... However it does not act as I imagined... for example, an LFO on square wave I thought should jump only up or down using rectify. That is not what happens so my understanding is poor. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Lag is useful. You can send a square lfo to lag and the result is like using glide. Instead of a straight jump up and down, it gives you an attack envelop...
Quantize changes a modifier like an envelop from smooth to steps... so put env2 as the target in quantize, then put quantize as the modifier for cutoff and the modulation will go in steps... increasing the quantize control will make the steps finer
Add and Multiply seem self evident... great for using two modulators for parameters with only 1 mod control.
Well, there's a start...
