“Cross modulation” (a la Bleass Alpha or Roland...)
Hello,
I was curious if anyone had attempted to implement cross modulation between oscillators in Drambo. It came up in the discussion regarding the Swarmatron, but I was interested in attempting to implement it in a “simple” subtractive synth I am designing for myself (and obviously will share if I ever finish it!).
The fist question I need to answer, of course, is wtf do I mean by cross-modulatoin. :D I was thinking something along the lines of the cross-mod in Bleass Alpha or on some Roland synths. Looks like it might be Ring Mod? Anyone know what the Bleass cross-mod is actually doing...?
Thanks in advance! Drambo pwns. :)

@rs2000 Dude. RTFPS.* I should have known to check there first. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
...still going to have a phone discussion about cross-mod circuits on the way to get the kids, though.
*Read the Fcuking Patch Storage :)
😄 You're welcome!
You can get some really cool inter-voice modulations if you use a poly to mono module and then do frequency modulation, ring mod, amp mod etc.
Turns out (exponential) FM is more musically useful to my ears. There are some sweet spots with cross-mod, but overall it’s too noisy for me...
thanks for posting that patch, though, @rs2000... on to trying Mirage for some (hopefully) tasteful grit
👍🏼😊
X-mod is rather cheap to build in hardware, and cost was certainly an issue when building an 8-voice synth, especially for a company like Roland that has a history of designing hardware circuits as cheap as possible while achieving the desired result.
Can we get a demo? Not sure I follow but you sure spiked my interest
