EXi: AL-1 Analog Synthesizer
178
Carrier
[OSC 2, Ext Input]
Selects the carrier source for the ring modulator.
Ext Input
uses the audio input selected under Sub
OSC/Audio Input, on the Mixer page. For more
information, see “4–3c: Sub OSC/Audio Input” on
page 179.
4–2c: Noise Generator
The noise generator includes
Saturation
, for creating
unique and chaotic noise effects, and a dedicated 1-
pole filter to control noise color.
For standard white noise, set the
Saturation
to
0
, and
the
Filter Frequency
to
99
.
For colored noise (such as pink noise), set the
Saturation
to
0
, and reduce the
Filter Frequency
as
desired.
To create “speckled noise” such as rocket sounds and
thunder, set
Saturation
to
99
, and
Filter Frequency
to
10
.
To create key contact noise (such as you might find on
vintage analog synths), create speckled noise as
described above, and then use a fast EG to control its
volume in the mixer.
Saturation
[0…99]
This control clips the noise signal, for added crunch.
Subtle variations in saturation are more noticeable
with very low
Filter Frequency
settings (see below),
allowing you to create organic, rumbling timbres.
Filter Frequency
[0…99]
This is a simple, 1-pole lowpass filter for controlling
the “color” of the noise.

4–2: Page Menu Commands
The number before each command shows its ENTER +
number-key shortcut. For more information on these
shortcuts, see “ENTER + 0-9: shortcuts for menu
commands” on page 138.

4–3: Mixer
The Mixer page controls the volume levels for the five
main parts of the Oscillator, and also controls the
routing to the filter section. For instance, you can:
• Control the volume levels for Oscillator 1,
Oscillator 2, the Sub Oscillator (or an Audio Input),
the Ring Modulator, and the Noise Generator.
• Modulate these volume levels via AMS.
• When the
Filter Routing
is set to either
Serial
or
Parallel
, you can route each of the five Oscillator
elements through Filter A, Filter B, or a
combination of the two - and then modulate that
routing via AMS.
• Select an audio input to route through the filters,
driver, ring modulator, and effects.
4–3a: Oscillator 1
Level
[0…99]
This controls the volume level for Oscillator 1.
