Snazzy FX DREAMBOAT - Manual (Page 11)

3. PATCHING!!!
To make things easier, from this section on we will refer to the TOP
OSCILLATOR SECTION as C01. (short for Chaotic Oscillator 1). We will refer to
the Bottom Oscillator Section as C02 (short for Chaotic Oscillator 2)
A chaotic oscillator (CO) is quite a bit different than a regular LFO or VCO so it is
best not to assume that the Dreamboat will be the module of choice for playing
bass lines. There are 2 sections in the Dreamboat, one that puts out audio rate
chaos and another that puts out LFO rate (sub-audio) chaos.
Since each section has its own CV in, you can patch CO2 into CO1 and C01 into
C02.
Just think of this as a feedback loop, where each section receives a signal and
sends a a signal.
This will set up a cross-coupled patch, allowing endless variations, all useful for
modulation.
The idea of CROSS-COUPLING is crucial to many of the Dreamboat’s best
tricks. Keep in mind that since the X and Y outputs of each CO have different
levels and phase, you will get different results if you listen to the X output and
use the X output for CV then if you use the opposite!
-keep in mind that with Chaos, a tiny bit of knob turning often
makes a big difference.
You
can
simply
LISTEN
to
Chaos,
by
connecting
the
top
CO
to
a
mixer.
The
X
and
Y
outputs
each
have
a
distinct
tone
and
lend
themselves
well
to
stereo
separation.
The
Dreamboat
really
shines
in
conjunction
with
external
modulation
sources,
whether
from
another
CO
or
from
a
VCO,
LFO,
or
CV
source
of
any
kind.
The
audio
section
sounds
great
with
reverb,
phaser,
flanger,
whatever.
With
so
many
outputs,
you
can
apply
CV
or
gate
to
up
to
5
locations
from
one
module!
-Not all knob movements make a big difference right away.
Make a little change and then WAIT to see what it does to the
