menu 2. frequency ratio
in FM synthesis, the frequency ratio determines the relationship between the carrier and
modulator frequencies. changing the frequency ratio can create unique and interesting
sounds.
once selected this menu with the right switch, the left knob controls the operator's
frequency multiplier. this determines the pitch of the operator and how it will interact
with the other operators in the synth.
the right knob controls the fine detune of the selected frequency multiplier. this allows
you to fine-tune the pitch of the operator for even more precise control over your sound.
remember that different frequency ratios between the carrier and its modulator will
produce different overtones, giving you a wide range of sounds to experiment with.
