A couple questions regarding Sumu operation. Apologies in advance for general synthesis ignorance.
The oscillators module has an AM/FM selection at the bottom. Given that this module is described as frequency modulation, what does the AM (amplitude modulation?) selector mean? I can hear the differences in the "mockingbird" factory patch, but I don't know how to think of it.
Page 43 of the 1.0 manual says this re the level control in the Gates module:
This dial sets the static level of this module’s level attenuator.
Signals from the level input modulate the level, as well.
I can't parse the meaning of that last sentence.
Thanks -- Todd
Hi Todd, I think I answered your first question in the Discord— short answer is we should put a nicer description of AM vs. FM in the manual.
about the quote, "Signals from the level input" could be "Signals from the patcher, through the level attenuverter" - that would be more clear!
Hi Randy - you and other kind user did answer my question via Discord. I was having trouble internalizing that the modulator is working on amplitude vs. frequency. Thanks!
