soundbytes krossmod

The KrossMod is a kind of analogish synth.
The two oscillators are used to cross modulate
several parameters:

  • Crossfade Oscillator1/Oscillator2
  • Pulse Width modulation
  • Filter cutoff frequency

cross modulation amount is controlled by:

  • The Global Envelope
    • NoteOn velocity
    • A continous controller (selectable)
  • Local [CM Amt] Controllers

  SoBy_KrossMod.zip

Modules and Controllers:

  • [Volume] - global volume
  • [PB range] - pitch bend range
  • [Breath/Mod/AT] - selects the continous controller source
  • [Osc1 Saw/Pulse],[Osc2 Saw/Pulse] - waveform selection for Oscillator 1 and 2
  • [Detune] - Oscillator 1,2 detune
  • [FB Control] - Feedback control. Use high values for harder attacks and more edgy sounds. Reduce when clipping gets too strong.

Amp + CM Env:

Amplitude and cross modulation envelope:

  • [Vel Amt] - velocity amount.
    • hard right: amplitude is proportional to velocity value.
    • hard left: velocity has no influence.
  • [CC Amt] - continous controller amount.
  • [Env Amt] - envelolpe amount.
    • when panned hard left:
      • Attack = 0
      • No Decay
      • Sustain = 1
      • Release = 0
    • panned hard right:
      • Settings of the of the [A],[D],[S],[R] knob are valid.
  • [A],[D],[S],[R] - envelope settings

Amp Key Track:

Signal amplitude key tracking.

Duration Key Track:

Envelope duration key tracking.

This Patch is named Pueblo. Not because of it's sound. It's just that the shape of the waveform reminded me of a central american pueblo building.

Mod Limiter:

Before the output signal is used as cross modulation controller it passes a limiter to set the signal amplitude to -1 ... 1

  • [Release] - limiter release time
  • [Mute] - Mute Level. (no function in this ensemble, ignore)

Filter:

The oscillator 1 signal can optionally be filtered.

  • [Color] - filter cutoff
  • [CC Amt] - continous controller amount on the [Color] parameter
  • [Q] - filter quality
  • [CM Amt] - cross modulation amount
  • [Att] - local envelope attack

PulseWidth:

Pulse width modulation control

  • [osc1],[osc2] - switches pulse width modulation on/off for oscillator 1/2
  • [CM Amt] - cross modulation amount
  • [Att] - local envelope attack

CrossFade:

Crossfade control

  • [Filt/Dry/Zero/Off] - crossfade source selection
    • Filt - Osc1 filtered with Osc2
    • Dry - Osc1 dry with Osc2
    • Zero - Osc1 filtered with a zero signal
    • Off - Osc1 filtered passes the module unchanged.
  • [CM Amt] - cross modulation amount
  • [Att] - local envelope attack
