Which analogue polysynths offered cross modulation?


Recommended Posts

Not that i'm gassing or anything, oooh no not me, no sir... just shopping for ideas:) and remembering that one of the things i used to really like about my P600 was the 'polymod'... but i'm not sure what other analogue/hybrid polysynths offered it, aside from obviously the P5 (though iirc the Chroma Polaris has poly ringmod, but i'd stay away from those, imo great sound but i've heard terrible things about the serice issues)

 

So what others had osc crossmodulation / polymod?

Poly what?

 

 

You never owned a P5 or P600 - Sequential called the cross modulation on that 'Polymod' - don't know the technical specifics of precisely what form of crossmod it used, but i'm sure someone else does... but really anything, vintage or modern, that's of a kind with this...

One thing I've noticed is that RA frequency cross modulation, where one oscillator is also modulated with an envelope or LFO, can sound different in VA. The incredibly complex swirling sidebands this produces in RA is simplified down somewhat in VA's I've auditioned (although I certainly haven't tried them all!). Sometimes the frequency sweep is limited in VA too, thus keeping the oscillator from getting too "out there" and limiting potential aliasing.

It was a pun.

 

Oh, you mean PUN! Yes, sorry my mistake, you were correct!

 

Pulse Uber Noodulation - when a pulse wave from linear accelerator is used to modulate the shape of noodles. As electrons spin and rotate in a special Noodletron chamber they shape the raw paste forming exotic 12 dimensional quantum shapes known to us as noodles. Additional neutron phase-o-matic shielding is used to reduce time / space distortion, to prevent them entering someone's stomach, before they are actually manufactured.
