Oscillator B's MOD/GAIN controls the modulation index. MODULATION MATRIX is a 3x3 array of push buttons that cross-connect the three oscillators.ДЇor example, the button B~A connects the output of oscillator B with the input of oscillator A so that B modulates A.

When a button is pressed the envelope is over riden so the soundДЄmplitude/level decays to zero. Push buttons A, B, and C route the oscillators to the output. Moving the knob further left/right increases the amplitude range. With the knob to the left the control signal is inverted, decreasing when a key is depressed and increasing when it is released. With the knob to the right, the output level increases when a key is depressed and decreases when it is released. When it is straight up there is no change in the output level when a key is pressed.

The envelope generator is triggered when a key is depressed.ДЄTTACK controls the rise time of the sound DECAY is the rate at which the sound decays after the key is released.Д®NVELOPE controls the amplitude of the envelope signal, which is added to the output level of the oscillator. GAIN/MOD is the constant output level of the oscillator.ДЄTTACK and DECAY (really RELEASE in ADSR) are standard envelope generator control parameters. Oscillators B and C also have DE-TUNE knobs that add up to В± 0.05 to the frequency ratios to create vibrato, warmth, and non-harmonic overtones.ДЄTTACK, DECAY, ENVELOPE and GAIN/MOD are controls common to all three oscillators. This insures the oscillators produce harmonic overtones, which makes it easier to program the synthesizer. Oscillators B and C run at frequency ratios B:A and C:A relative to A, which are set by the RATIO B:A and RATIO C:A knobs.ДЄlthough the knobs seem to operate in a continuous manner the frequency ratios are actually quantized to the following values. Double tap any control knob to return to the default setting for that control.ДЇREQ A shifts the pitch of oscillator A in octave increments up (knob right) or down (knob left). The refeence frequency is A=440 Hz with the TUNE knob straight up. Oscillator A sets the fundamental frequency. XMod uses FM (frequency modulation) synthesis to generate complex sounds from three cross-connected oscillators. (Make sure the app is not running so your changes are not over written.) You can also edit this file manually if you like. Each time your settings are saved this file is automatically updated.

When you restart a new copy will be created. To return to the 'factory settings' remove this file from the app's documents directory using iTunes File sharing. Which can be changed using the V1/V2 button, and blended with the rotary control knob.ДЄt start up for the first time, a file called 'patches.xml' is created that contains all of the preset patches. Sounds in the preset sound bank (the first 32 sounds) cannot be changed.

The '' buttons cycle through 32 preset and 32 custom (user programmable) sounds.Д¬/P copies settings of one patch location that you can paste into another.

In fact almost any setting works in xMod. The complexity of programming FM synthesizers is solved in xMod. The sound engine is a triple-oscillator cross-modulated FM synthesizer.ДЇM is widely regarded as the most efficient way of generating complex 'organic' musical sounds. XMod is an full-function polyphonic synthesizer designed for iOS devices. Otherwise contact us to report problems and request assistance.
