Re: starting a modular - Z3000 waveform quality?

2008-11-25 by laryn91

Hove you successfully done this or just hypothesizing? 

1 - VCFs don't track nearly as accurately as VCOs so I can hear timbre changes when pitch 
changes

2 - The VCF introduces a phase shift so the VCO waves are no longer sync'd in a 
determined way.

3 - The level of the "sine" changes as pitch changes


"Harmonically rich" sine wave - that's a funny oxymoron :-)
