[. . . ] Clocks are routed exactly like the other modulations sources using the PatchCords. By modulating the PatchCord Amount, you can route the divided clocks using real-time controllers or other modulation sources. When an LFO is triggered by a clock, the LFO wave resets to zero every time the clock wave goes low. If the LFO rate is close to the clock rate, the LFO virtually synchronizes with the clock. If the two rates are far apart, the waveform of the LFO will be mildly or radically altered. Envelopes are triggered on the positive going edge of the clock. LFOs are triggered on the negative going edge of the clock. Triggered LFO LFO Wave Clock LFO Trigger causes the LFO to reset each time the clock waveform goes low. Audity 2000 Operations Manual 73 Programming Basics Clock Modulation LFO Synced to 1/4 Note Clock LFOs can also be perfectly synchronized with the clock at any of 25 note divisions. This allows you to create very cool "synchro-sonic" effects that work perfectly with the arpeggiators at any tempo. Choosing one of the note divisors in the LFO rate screen selects the synced LFO function. For example, you can create a repeating six segment curve of any shape by triggering the Filter or Auxiliary Envelope generators with the clock. · Turn different voice layers on and off using different clock divisors. · Switch between Auxiliary and Filter Envelope retriggering using a slider or footswitch. · Retrigger LFOs or Envelopes using noise or other LFOs to create random or semi random effects. · Alter the LFO waveform by modulating the rate of triggered LFO. · Route multiple clocks with different divisors to the same destination (such as pitch) to create complex patterns. (Hint: Adjust the PatchCord Amounts. ) Eighth Note Quarter Note Adding these two clocks together in equal amounts produces a stairstep waveform. 16th Note 8th Note Quarter Note Adding multiple clocks with unequal amounts produces complex repeating patterns. 74 E-mu Systems, Inc. Programming Basics Modulation Destinations Modulation Destinations The PatchCords section of the Edit menu is where you connect sources to destinations. Each PatchCord has an amount associated with it which controls how much modulation is applied. PATCHCORD ModWhl -> RTXfade L1 #01 +036 The PatchCords screen above and the diagram below show how modulation sources are connected to destinations. The modulation sources can control any of the destinations in the layer. Layer L Instrument Freq. Start Offset Chorus Glide Pitch Z-Plane Filter Gain Vol Amp R Pan Envelope Gen. Envelope Gen. LFOs Mod Wheel Envelope Gen. MIDI Controls Key # Velocity Gate Mod. Proc. · Note-on modulation sources, such as key, velocity and gate output a single value at note-on time. Realtime modulation sources such as LFOs, envelope generators and modulation wheels can be varied continuously. The possible modulation routings are completely flexible as shown in the diagram above. Multiple sources can control the same destination, or a single source can control multiple destinations. Audity 2000 Operations Manual 75 Programming Basics Modulation Processors Modulation Processors Modulation processors are devices which can modify modulation sources such as LFOs and envelope generators before they are applied to a destination. [. . . ] If you are unable to locate a service center in your Country of Purchase, please contact E-mu Systems Service Department at (408) 438-1921. They will either refer you to an authorized service center in your Country of Purchase or ask that you return your instrument to the factory. When returning an instrument to the factory, you will be issued a Return Authorization number (RA). Please label all cartons, shipping documents and correspondence with this number. [. . . ]
