One of the main things that get affected is the sound harmonics and distortion.
VSDSX lets you switch between a CLEAN (read ideal mode) and ANALOG (harmonics and filtering)
The nature of the tone VCO will be affected by this setting, especially because an ideal triangle wave
contains only odd harmonics, it has a characteristic sound, similar to a square wave. When in analog
mode, different harmonics will be introduced; included even ones and the sound characteristic will
change a bit.
The graphic shows the differences between clean (ideal triangle) and analog
.
The
analog clipping
also happens on CLEAN mode and will affect the sound depending on the voice
volume. Note that the more you mix CLICK with the sound body, the less volume the sound body will
have. If you set the NOISE TONE mix to full body, no click the volume will increase significantly and
you might reach clipping earlier. The analog clipping is pretty nice and can bring some punch and
presence to the sound, it depends what you are after.
This graphic shows the waveform from really clipped to none.
