SH-01 Modulation

Post by filosofem »

It is my understanding that neither OSC Waves can be swept but can an OSC Wave be modulated?

D-Beam modulation isn't hardwired to modulate Pitch, Volume and Effects? Can D-Beam modulate Filter Cutoff, Reso, OSC Detune, etc.?

Also Bandpass Filter, how is the width defined? In other words, can you change the width of the Bandpass Filter? The same applies to Peaking Filter, how is the width of the peak defined and can it be changed?

You can set a separate LFO for every oscillator, if that’s what you mean.

“D-Beam modulation isn't hardwired to modulate Pitch, Volume and Effects? Can D-Beam modulate Filter Cutoff, Reso, OSC Detune, etc.?”

With the modulation you can modulate pitch, filter, volume and pan.

With the D-Beam you can basically control everything, however you’ll have to do the modulation yourself by waving your arm… :)

“Also Bandpass Filter, how is the width defined? In other words, can you change the width of the Bandpass Filter? The same applies to Peaking Filter, how is the width of the peak defined and can it be changed?”

There are two modes for the width (slope) you can select from: -24db and -12db.

Hello Grauw, thank you for you time and user insight.

LFO Mod to OSC will be Pitch only, no? That is, LFO Mod to OSC Waveform is not possible, right? Regarding BPF and PKG width, the owners manual says Resonance defines the width.

The D-Beam capable of assigning to every parameters is pretty cool! How is D-Beam assigned? Is it simply press D-Beam Assign and press, slide or twist a knob to make the assignment? Can you assign D-Beam to just one Tone? Say Tone 1 Filter Filter Cutoff and have Tone 2 Filter Filter Cutoff assigned to LFO? Also, is D-Beam multi-assignable? D-Beam to Tone 1 Filter Filter Cutoff and Tone 2 AMP Volume simultaneous?

LFO is also pitch, filter, volume and pan.

Resonance doesn’t just narrow the filter band, it distorts it.

D-Beam: Yes, hold assign and jiggle the knob. It’s a global assignment but only affects the currently selected tone, really just like you would be turning the knob on the front panel but then non-persistent. The modulation bar has its own separate tone-specific settings. So: yes, yes, yes, no, no.

So Filter Resonance distorts in only BPF and PKG filter types? And is this distortion, Aliasing or wanted Saturation?

D-Beam is a global parameter assignment to a current selected Tone, does D-Beam lose the assignment if another Tone is selected?

Ohhh... each Tone has two LFO's? A hardwired LFO for each Tone and a Modulation LFO. This SH-01 keeps getting better and better! Modulation LFO, same principles as D-Beam, supports global parameter assignments to a current selected Tone or is the Modulation LFO assignable to multiple simultaneous Tones? Mod Wheel to Tone 1 Filter Reso and Tone 2 FX Panning.

Any other hidden gems?

Ah no resonance does the same thing that it does in all filter modes (whatever that is, I’m not really into the technicalities of that ;)). I meant distort in the more regular English meaning: applying the resonance effect, which as a side-effect narrows the band, not as in ‘distortion effect’. At least that’s my interpretation of the illustration in the manual and trying it.

The D-Beam setting is patch-specific, so no it won’t lose the assignment when you change the tone selection.

Yep two LFOs. Both LFOs can only be applied to pitch, filter, volume and pan, but they can be configured for each tone individually, and separately.
