If you've got an oscilloscope, I'd suggest seeing if you can see anything on that. |

Well, I can hear something so I guess I would see something. I don't know much about the use of oscilloscopes other that they show me the waveform. How would I use the oscilloscope to give me more information about where those artifacts come from? _________________ Fish don't swim. They dive. |

It reminds me of heterodyne more than aliasing. Perhaps the vhf oscillator and the other oscillator are being mixed in the cmos ring modulator and there is a little bleed through. Bleed through is something analogue knows a lot about.
If it is the ring mod, you will also be able to change the whistle pitch when you adjust the frequency of the other oscillator.
I tried a Korg Odyssey in a shop Yesterday to see if the PPC was the same as I remembered. I was disappointed. If anything it is a little softer than the ARP version (a good thing) but it has a big dead band. You have to dig in a lot before the pitch starts to move at all. The original had a very organic response, more like bending a string.
It is a sweet sounding synth though.
Sorry to hijack your post. |

Yeah, I guess I was just recording a side band or some bleed through.
Using the ring modulator with very high pitches you get something that sounds exactly like aliasing, however, it's just the sidebands playing with each other.
I like the Odyssey a lot, I must say. One of the best sounding synths I ever had and the first time I was really convinced that the old machines have something some of the newer ones don't have. And I'm even talking about a replica of an old synth and it just sounded sweet.
My guess is that the PPCs will feel different after half a year using them. Takes some getting used to, though.
Thanks for the input everybody. _________________ Fish don't swim. They dive. |
