MALSTRÖM SYNTHESIZER

123

The Modulator section

The Malström features two Modulators (mod:A and mod:B) These are in fact an-

other type of oscillators, called LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators). They each

generate a waveform and a frequency, much like osc:A and osc:B. However,

there are a couple of important differences:

• Mod:A and mod:B do not generate sound. They are instead used for modu-

lating various parameters to change the character of the sound.

• They only generate waveforms of low frequency.

Furthermore, both modulators are tempo syncable and possible to use in one

shot mode, in which case they will actually work like envelopes.

Modulator parameters

The two Modulators have a few controls in common, but there are also some dif-

ferences. Both the common parameters and the ones that are unique for each

Modulator (the destinations) are described below.

D To activate/deactivate a Modulator, click the On/Off button in the

top left corner.

When a Modulator is activated, the button is lit.

Curve

This lets you select a waveform for modulating parameters. Use the spin con-

trols to the right of the display to cycle through the available waveforms. Some of

these waveforms are especially suited for use with the Modulator in one shot

mode (see below).

Rate

This knob controls the frequency of the Modulator. For a faster modulation rate,

turn the knob to the right.

The Rate knob is also used for setting the time division when synchronizing the

Modulator to the song tempo (see below).

One Shot

To put the Modulator into one shot mode, click this button so that it is lit.

Normally, the Modulators will repeat the selected waveforms over and over

again, at the set rate. However, when one shot mode is activated and you play a

note, the Modulator will play the selected waveform only once (at the set rate)

and then stop. In other words, it will effectively be turned into an envelope gen-

erator!

Note that even though all waveforms can be used with interesting results, some

waveforms are explicitly well suited for use in one shot mode. For example, try

using the waveform with just one long, gently sloping curve.

Sync

Clicking this button so that it is lit synchronizes the Modulator to the song

tempo, in one of 16 possible time divisions.

! When sync is activated, the Rate knob is used for selecting the de-

sired timedivision. Turn the Rate knob and observe the tool tip for

an indication of the timedivision.

A/B selector

This switch is used for deciding which oscillator and/or filter the Modulator

should modulate - A, B or both. With the switch in the middle position, both A

and B will be modulated.

Destinations

The following knobs are used for determining what each of the two modulators

should modulate.
