Dark EnerGy DOEPFER Example Sounds
4. Metallic Lacquer
Now Dark Energy goes for some metallic percussion sounds. They feature frequency modulation in the
audiorange. As you already know, this fits best for inharmonic and noisy timbres. This sound is partly tonal
playable.
The filters resonance is fully cranked up, i.e. the filter runs as an oscillator. It‘s frequency / pitch is controlled
by the LM knob. The modulation source is the VCO, which itself is modulated by LFO1 in the audiorange.
This corresponds to a 3-operator-FM. The frequency values of VCF, VCO and LFO1 as well as the modula-
tion depths (VCF-LM and VCO-FM) have to be adjusted very carefully to make the sound tonally playable
at least over a range of two octaves.
The modwheel (CV4 to VCO F or VCF F) provides wild noise effects.
