I know the Evolver’s filter/mixer section doesn’t overdrive like on the Pro1/Prophet5 but does the Prophet 08’s filter/mixer overdrive at all as from what I can tell its based more around the Evolver more than the original Sequential synths?
My Pro~One does not do this. In fact, turning up both oscillators causes increased inter-modulation between the oscillators as the summed phase of one affects the other.(exceptions being Osc A is synced or only one is audible) This actually makes it less fat sounding part of the time. I suppose not all CEM3320's are created equal, but I've gone through two on my unit and not observed this, so I would be suprised if any of them do it.Soundwave wrote:If you turn up the VCO levels on your Pro1 the filter charateristics change and the waveforms fatten up slighty being overdriven...
That's what I'm after thank you.DocT wrote:There is a very slight saturation in the P'08 at high osc levels, but not comparable to what happens in the Pulse for example.
I can confirm this as well. If you for example turn of osc 2 and use the mixerknob to control the volume of osc 1 the filter changes characteristics. I wish one could control osc volumes indepently from each other, cus I like the cleaner sound aswell.Soundwave wrote:That's what I'm after thank you.DocT wrote:There is a very slight saturation in the P'08 at high osc levels, but not comparable to what happens in the Pulse for example.
If both oscillators are active you can adjust the mix level via VCA-envelope amount.Niijaooh wrote:I wish one could control osc volumes indepently from each other, cus I like the cleaner sound aswell.
Wow thanks, gotta try that when I get home, I thought osc1+osc2=100% when both are on no matter what. And topology wise I thought it was the VCA after VCF that was adjusted by the VCA amount, which I never understood why was even there as I change volume in the misc parameters. Also the manual only states "Env Amount: 0…127 – Sets the amount of VCA envelope to the VCA level."DocT wrote:If both oscillators are active you can adjust the mix level via VCA-envelope amount.Niijaooh wrote:I wish one could control osc volumes indepently from each other, cus I like the cleaner sound aswell.
