Using multiple oscillators (VCOs)

Using multiple oscillators (VCOs)

(synthesizer music) - [Narrator] In the previous movie, we used one oscillator to create our synthesizer voice, and that was interesting, but you'll notice that we have three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine oscillators inside modular V. And as you can guess, it is common to use multiple oscillators in one voice or one patch to create a thicker or fatter sound, including tuning the oscillators to different musical intervals. So let's play around with that in this movie. I'm going to go to Template, Template Category, and choose one oscillator, one VCA as my starting point. And this should look very familiar to where we started out in our previous movie, hooking up one oscillator to the VCA. (synthesizer music) And there's the sound. As explained in the previous movie, the way that old Moog modulars, and therefore the modular V software, groups our oscillators is where you have a driver and three slave oscillators following what that driver does. It's the driver that determines…
