AM and FM synthesis?

[Dorian]

Is it possible to add amplitude or frequency modulation patchability, so you have one audio source/sample set as the modulator... and another sample set as the carrier?

[Dominik Mayer]

Hey Dorian,

Do you mean something like the Synthesizer Group ? When you add a Synthesizer Group in the Master Chain and enable FM, you can add Sound Generators as Carrier and Modulator. Should also work with Samples..

best,

Thanks a lot Dominik. So in this way, it would be possible potentially to use a sine wave (also modulate-able of course with ENV or whatever) to FM modulate sample sets?

[Dominik Mayer]

Jep, works. Freaky tin-can sounds, though.
Actually its a lot of fun.

[Dorian]

Can get very interesting when you start putting envelopes and stuff on the modulator though! e.g. just using it to colour transients and weird things like that

Yes, the synthesiser group is fun, however I have written this module a while back and never actually used it so it might be a bit unstable (there were a lot of changes and if things are not regularly used they start getting buggy. Let me know when you encounter crashes there - curiously a similar request came up yesterday on another project.
