Microfreak/UG/13 Sequencer/03 Fun/02 Mix Pitches

• 13.3.2. First Experiment: Mixing Pitches

  • The sequencer controls oscillator pitch directly. Route the LFO to pitch through the Matrix as well, and the two signals add together. A slow rectangular LFO makes the sequence jump between pitch levels. Change the Matrix amount to control the size and direction of the shift.
  • Variation: Also route the LFO to filter cutoff. With enough modulation to close the filter, some parts of the sequence fall silent. Try different LFO waveforms and amounts to change the rhythm of those gaps.
  • A random LFO waveform can transpose a running sequence at unpredictable times. Change LFO speed to change when transpositions occur; increase the Matrix amount for wider jumps or use a negative amount to invert the modulation.
