8.3 Mixer



The mixer is used to determine volume for the three oscillators and the noise generator.

 On the Pulse Plus you can also set the volume of the external audio signal.

Osc1 0...127 Volume of Oscillator 1

Osc2 0...127 Volume of Oscillator 2

Osc3 0...127 Volume of Oscillator 3

Noise 0...127 Volume of the Noise Generator

 External 0...127 Volume of the external audio signal

The mixer's output sends the signal to the filter's input. The Pulse is designed to enable you

to overdrive this signal. Saturation occurs at the following values:

• If you program a sound using just one oscillator, then the signal is overdriven

somewhere in the volume value range of 40.

• If you use more than one oscillator, a volume value of approx. 30 is the overdrive

threshold for each oscillator.

 The option of overdriving the signal vastly enhances the variety of sounds the Pulse

can produce. The Pulse is an analog device, so we can't give you a precise value

when a signal will be overdriven. As the volume increases, the signal becomes

slightly saturated and flows seamlessly into total disortion.

An overdriven signal has a richer sound, as overtones are added to the clean signal.

This is especially interesting in conjunction with sawtooth and triangular waveshapes,

as square waveshapes are inherently very similar in structure to other overdriven

waveshapes.

Distortion is most audible when you drastically detune several oscillators in relation

to each other, especially over a range of several octaves. This effect is even more

interesting when you tune the pitch of one oscillator a semitone or several semitones

above or below the true octave.
