rich and varied timbres and textures, as well as wild distortions and grating noises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word “new” is probably not accurate.  Modular synthesizers have used frequency modulation (FM) since their inception.  Low frequency FM produces nice vibrato effects, and audio rate FM creates interesting timbres.  But exponential FM alters the perceived fundamental frequency of an oscillator; linear FM is required to alter the timbre while staying on pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we use FM, we call the source of the modulation the modulator, and the oscillator being modulated is called the carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1970’s, John Chowning discovered using digital oscillators that linear FM through the zero point (so the carrier actually reversed its oscillation) produced very diverse and pleasing timbres.  Yamaha further developed this technology, but while Yamaha continued to call their implementation “FM”, they actually were using Phase Modulation.  Also worthy of note, Don Buchla heard Chowning say that you couldn’t do “through zero” FM with an analog circuit, so Don did just that with his Music Easel’s Complex Oscillator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet’s look at some oscilloscope photos to understand the difference.  If I frequency modulate a sine wave with another sine wave, the ‘scope shows us the effect on the waveform.  (The modulator is on the bottom in blue, the carrier in yellow on the top):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1333\"

modulating the carrier’s frequency, have the modulating oscillator modulate its “phase.”  What this means is that the modulator is directly changing the location in the carrier’s waveform, rather than changing the rate that the carrier oscillates by moving along through its waveform.  Here’s what a sawtooth phase modulated by a pulse looks like.  When the pulse goes high, the carrier skips ahead to a higher point in the sawtooth ramp; when it goes low, it skips back to a lower point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1337\"

It provides visual indication of level, rate and polarity for up to 4 control signals that will be shared throughout a patch. These 4 control signals are color coded and distributed across the center of the system allowing for quick, clean and intuitive patching. The distribution method is unlike the typical multiple since the control signals will appear beneath their possible destinations allowing for the use of shorter patch cables. The color coding and visual indication makes navigating complex patches easier and more intuitive. Typically, the CV Bus would be used to share the most important control signals in a patch such as your Master Clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new version of the CV Bus also includes useful modular utilities:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Voltage Math is found at the left end of the CV Bus. Like the similar circuit on the 0-Coast, it is a small collection of universally useful modular utilities. The two inputs are summed at the output, one at unity and one adjusted by the input attenu-verter. The attenuverted input is also normalled to a DC offset, for purposes of level shifting, voltage mirroring etc. The output strength and polarity is indicated by the Green and Red output LEDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high quality Stereo Line Driver converts powerful modular synthesizer signal levels to the commonly used Line Level. There are mini-jack inputs for Left or Mono, and Right for Stereo sound, a single master volume control, as well as a stereo line output pair, and finally a TRS line\/headphone out on a single jack. This output is capable of driving a long cable out to a PA System or a set of Headphones. It is AC coupled with a built-in limiting circuit (with visual indication) that prevents damage to ears and PA system when the patching gets experimental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e104 HP\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e35 mm deep\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e25 mA +12V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e25 mA -12V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e0 mA 5V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"MAKE NOISE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51570053120278,"sku":null,"price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/4221\/9542\/files\/1u_cv_bus__96218.1771571302.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784688178"}],"url":"https:\/\/boutiquepedalnyc.us\/collections\/multiple.oembed","provider":"BPNYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
