>> It's almost there (a6)... uhrrr... HERE I mean :-), one hour to go :-)))
>> 
>> Excited as I am, I created this: ( http://www.synthmusic.info/mp3s/steps.mp3
>> ) this morning.
>> 
>> Can't wait to top it off with a screaming Minimoog-alike sound from the
>> Andromeda.
>> 
>> (It's selfoscillating filters from the Q+, Evolver sequence, Jomox Xbase and
>> WAVE bells, in a one-track live recording :-))
>> 
>> Oh, and to stay on topic:
>> 
>> Reading the manual I was asking myself when and why one should/could use
>> FM-ing the filters? What is the precise effect of it?
>> 
>> FM is hard to understand for me anyway. Anyone knowing a good simple
>> explanation of it somewhereonline, or willing to share his/her thoughts
>> here? Also the differences between exp. and lin. FM?
>> 
>> Well, I can test it a lot soon!

> Hiiii boele!

> FM:
> Well you can mod the filters in audio speed!!
> This allows us to have interesting nice spectra using the filter as an
> oscillator (with resonance!)..
> If you want some subtle dirt or not-so-subtle heavy "aliasing"-like sounds you
> can use it to create intereting "overtones"..
> 
> Well, you never used it on your Q? Any synth that has "audio speed lfos" like
> the jupiter 4,the andro or Q etc.. are known for their FX sounds using this
> feature..
> 
> If you did not ever touch any FM synth (well you still have one!!) first try 2
> OSCs . 
> Say osc1 mods the frequency of OSC2.
> 
> This lets OSC2 become sound "metallic" the more influence of OSC1's frequency
> you send to OSC2!..
> The DX7 uses this to create clusters of hi-harmonic overtones that can be
> controlled by the amplitude of impact (modulation) on the carrier (the
> osc,that mods the other can be seen as the "amount of FM")
> 
> There are lots of sounds, use an envelope to control the FM!!
> So you got 2 Ops of the DX7!! the carrier always controls the
> amplitude/volume, but the modulator controls the harmonic content.
> 
> Use SINE WAVES!!! why? They consist of NO OVERTONES!!
> 
> Hope that helped a bit..
> 
> You did know,that the Q has very fast LFOs?..
> 
> On the andromeda you can mod filter 1 directly by OSC !
> The filter 2 can also be used ,but you only have an offset!!.. So be careful
> adjusting the FM amount..
> 
> Results are quite large.. Especially on filter 2 with resonating filter!!
> (means: filter works as sine OSC!!!..)
> 
> So you can have 2 OP FM on the andro this way, or use 2 OSCs..
