Thanks a lot guys just had a few questions as im working on mastering sound design with this thing. May have some more later as well

1. Is there some way to make an LFO function as a noise/high audio rate modulator, like a "white noise" sort of modulation source, like is there a way to speed up LFO into total audio rate, maybe speed up one of the random waveforms into being a noise source, as well as high frequencies for other waveforms as an FM modulator? some way using the modifiers page perhaps?

2. Is there a "1 constant" or a way to get one in the modulation sources, or also a "higher constant" like when it comes to add/multiply if i just want to raise the value of something higher or control it simply

3. When using voice stack, is there any way to control the volume of the voice stacks or only the tuning options? Like if I want to put a high detune stack but I want it more as a backdrop and not the same exact volume as the primary ones.

4. On the 3 osc and 2 VCO models, is there a way to lock the keytracking of oscillator 1? I find it odd that oscillator one modulates oscillator 2 but its always moving with the root note of what youre playing, I feel like it should be able to be better modified with tuning or keytracking to get bell-like and metallic sounds.

Thanks again.

Laptop in bedroom response (no keyboard here right now, so I can't check)

1. don't think so
2. either rectify Alternate, or use StackIndex / VoiceMap (if otherwise unused)
3. StackIndex --> Vol Mod gives you rudimentary volume control
4. IIRC negative KeyFollow, even doubled via 'Add', isn't enough to flatten the pitch 100%. Will check

Thanks a lot that was helpful, I just got some progress on #1 , rectify alternate for a max value like mod wheel, then put this as the rate mod, using this i was able to get the lfo rate into easy audio territory including setting the sync to 0.1s

for whatever reason fm doesnt work with standard vibrato routing so you should use LFO 2

Also:
3. Use the Voice Map Modulators in the Trimmers tab, them modulate Volume in the Amplifier panel with "VoiceMap". Now the Voice Map knobs are like volume controls for each of the stacked voices.

thanks thats great

although it does appear that this works better with like a basic mono sound and a smaller stack? when doing chords or more stacks/voices the voices start borrowing and skipping in unpredictable patterns so you dont get a straightforward like layer-volume anymore but could end up with random notes quieter or louder


I mostly do techno but i love the diva sound quality so im really trying to push the boundaries beyond the basic classic retro sounds
