Two wires into one

MixersMIX · +GAIN · xGAIN · XFADE

A place with two inputs takes one of the two-input functions. MIX adds B to A at a level, MIX- subtracts it, +GAIN adds them and sets the level of the sum, xGAIN multiplies them (ring modulation), XFADE fades from B at 0 % to A at 100 %.

WHAT TO KNOW

A AND B

A is the wire from the place before, B the wire from below the diagram. Each mixer's Pad lowers B: 18 dB at its default.

RING MODULATION

xGAIN with a SINE oscillator on one input and the KEY on the other gives the sum and the difference of their frequencies: bells, metal, radio voices.

USE IT FOR

A layer's own blend of two sounds, fixed or moved by a control: XFADE's percentage is a row like any other, so a slider or an envelope can sweep it.

WATCH OUT

xGAIN of two quiet signals is quieter still: the factory raises its level, or follows it with a GAIN.

IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMS

The factory's two-input places: XFADE 342, xGAIN 156, MIX 103, MIX- 46, +GAIN 9; 54 layers ring-modulate with an oscillator and xGAIN.

HOW TO ON YOUR K2700 · 1533 Tribe In Storm

Tribe In Storm's third layer multiplies a sine by the KEY: ring modulation in two blocks.

  1. In Program mode choose 1533 Tribe In Storm (KEYPAD, 1533, ENTER).

    Program mode with 1533 Tribe In Storm
  2. Press EDIT, go to layer 3 with CHANNEL/LAYER ▲, then MORE and ALG: Algorithm 3, a SINE in F1 and an xGAIN in F2, which multiplies the SINE (A) by the KEY (B).

  3. MORE, then DSP CTL, the Sin Pch row: 12 ST, the sine's pitch from the key; the xGain row below sets the product's level.
