Resonance Offset at the same time, each with a definable depth and definable direc-
tion (polarity).
Please Note: The Freq Mod parameter was set to a default setting of "8.00 Oct"
when we created the various Style settings and should be set to this value if you
wish to hear the Style settings "au natural". The Res Mod, Res Offset Mod and L/R
Offset were all set to "0" (12 o’clock). However, in creating the full, standard
PhaseMistress presets (as opposed to the Style settings) these parameters will
likely be set all over the place. To accurately audition the Style settings set these
controls as described above or simply select the "STYLE AUDITION" preset as
previously described.
Freq Mod
The Freq Mod determines both the direction of the modulation applied to the
Frequency parameter as well as defining the maximum depth that can be applied
when the front panel Depth knob is turned all the way up. The knob is center justified
with the 12 o’clock position being "0" or no modulation. Turning the knob clockwise
or inputting a positive number into the numerical field will add positive modulation.
Turning the knob counter clockwise will also add modulation but in a negative direc-
tion. The available values are; "-10.00 Oct" to "10.00 Oct"
For example, a setting of "8.00 Oct" means that the modulation applied to the
Frequency will modulate the frequency of the filters in a positive manner (based on
the front panel Frequency knob’s "center" setting) and that the maximum depth
available when the Depth knob on the front panel is turned all the way up is "8"
octaves. This was used as the "default" setting when we created the various "Mode"
presets but may be set quite differently as you create "standard" PhaseMistress pre-
sets.
Conversely, if you set the Freq Mod to a negative setting of say "-5.00 Oct", the
modulation applied to the Frequency will modulate the frequency in a negative man-
ner with the maximum modulation available being minus (5) octaves with the front
panel Depth knob turned all the way up.
Again, if you set the Freq Mod to "0" (12 o’clock) NO modulation will be applied to
the Frequency regardless of the setting of the front panel Depth knob. So it is really
important to note that the Freq Mod parameter is highly interactive with the front
panel Frequency and Depth knobs!
