VCO modulation amount
2012-09-02 by Johannes Hausensteiner
Hi all! I am doing a little programming project and I stumbled across the modulation depth that is possible with the Polysix. I discovered that mine only modulates the VCO about +/-2 semitones. It never bothered me while playing but technically I would have expected a larger range. Just to be sure that there is no malfunction on my Polysix I thought I'd ask the crowd out there what their Polysixes are capable of. The measurement is simple: - set it to a boring patch (e.g. square wave, no effects) - set the MG FREQUENCY to 0, MG LEVEL to 10 - connect an automatic tuner to the output - play a single note (mid range) - and note down the lowest and highest reading of the tuner Note: the cycle time for the MG at frequency setting 0 is about 17sec on my Polysix. Thanks! Johannes
