More Morgasmatron! 2- Operator FM and 4 Pole filtering

Published on Jul 26, 2018 Intellijel

"Did you know Morgasmatron can be used as a 2-Op FM Synth Voice? How about as a 4-Pole Low pass filter? This video walks you through a few more techniques to try with Morgasmatron that may have been overlooked.

2-OPFM:
1. Set the filters to parallel and turn Q for both all the way up.
2. Switch A to DRY and turn input A down.
3. Feed the MIX out to filter A’s FM1. This allows you use XFADE as the FM Index. Now Filter A is the Carrier and Filter B is the modulator.
4. Experiment with using Q-drive and filter A’s distortion, or feeding the Filter B output into other parameters like the 2 FM inputs. Also be sure to try modulating the XFADE input.
5. Because the left 1v/oct input controls the the pitch of both filters, they will track together and you can use the cutoff of B to create different FM ratios.

Combining Poles:
1. Set Morgasmatron to SERIAL.
2. a) Set both filters to LP2 to create a 4-pole low pass filter.
b) Set both to HP2 to create a 4-pole high pass filter.
c) Or set A to HP2 and B to LP2 to create a 2-pole bandpass filter.
3. Feed a control signal from something like Planar, Quadratt, or Tetrapad to filter A’s FM2 and set their cutoff and FM2 identically to control the two filters in tandem."
