Cutoff modulations
The CV signals you can use to control VERTICE are related to the Cutoff Controls. You can do modulated
or linear control of the four Cutoffs: A, B and C filter have independent controls but the
Master Cƒ
command
all the others. So on the same filter Cutoff you can sum two CV modulation, the dedicated
and
the master,
plus the obvious results of an audio serial mode which make the latter filterboard the preeminent one, giving
it “the last word” on all the audio chain. This is actually an effect that “sum” a further modulated cutting
behavior over the resulting output audio. It’s nice, isn’t it?
GATE the EG
Besides of the dedicated, and very sensitive, AM input, the only CV input which isn't frequency related
is the
EG GATE
input. In this port you should inject a gate signal, commonly a 0/+5V square wave, but other
standards, and other waveforms, are accepted too. Try simple percussive audio, for example.
Notice that our GATE circuitry works only with the positive part of the wave and can show only the “square” behavior,
ON or OFF. Square input signal however can obviously produce smooth outputs CV thanks to the ADSR controls.
Contrabass tone routing tips: the first simple patch to do
This is a very basic configuration, hosted in this chapter only to stimulate your imagination. To obtain
a contrabass-like tone you can set the three filterboards in
SERIAL
. Inject into the A-board a medium-level
sawtooth from one singular VCO. Then close all the
Cƒ
and set the
MasterCƒ
counterclockwise enough to
obtain the classic bass tone. A bit of
Emphasis
and using the
Overload
circuit may be useful.
Disconnect the
V/oct
plug for a more solid bass note in the bottom of the range, otherwise it could close too
much the Master Cƒ between the note change, weakening the low frequency response.
Note that this is the typical tone which take advantage by an“EG-controlled VCA” instead of VCF.
Tone correcting
The VERTICE is preeminently a creative filterbank but it can also easily be used as a simple tone
corrector for re-tracking. Just explore combining soft or sharp HP or BP filtering with various SER/PAR routing
combinations. Some are clean, some have more low presence, some are more creamy or full-sounding. You
just have to take them out of the box.
