"Analogue" mod sources

  • A question about the new mod sources in OS5 ("AnaKeyFine" etc).
    I expected them to be general-purpose sources of random fluctuations, but when I route them to anything other than pitch (e.g., filter cutoff), they seem to have no effect. Are they really designed to modulate oscillator pitch only, and nothing else?

  • The 'Fine' versions are too subtle to be heard on anything other than oscillator pitch, or highly resonant filters. This is because our ears are far more sensitive to variations in pitch than they are to timbre.


    Try the 'Coarse' versions for other parameters and, if necessary, apply the same modulation routing more than once to intensify the effect.
