[A6] sustainor

[Richard]

thanks robert, I thought I had about got to grips with the A6 but I just
realised I don't know what the hell the tracking generator does as a mod
source. If it does THAT then I need to know about it.

There is also a faster random oscillation which comes in and out sounds as
if it is speeding up and slowing down. This seems to be derived from LFO3
working on F2 but the rhythm of it is not what I would expect a random
source to create as its changes are so musical and gradual

Do you think I am right in assuming that it is the random waveform creating
the illusion of speeding and slowing whereas in fact the tempo is fixed?

this really is similar to some of things the nord modular can do but the
overall sonics effect is so smooth that it feels completely different from
thye nord's cooler VA sound

I'm in love with this A6

Richard
