Helm Software Synthesizer - Cross Modulation
We have been looking at the two oscillators in Helm. Today we will explore the function "Cross Modulation" and how it changes the sound of both oscillators.
If you are not sure how to use both oscillators in Helm I have a couple of tutorials here for you:
Helm Software Synth - 1st Oscillator Video Tutorial
Helm Software Synth - 2nd Oscillator Video Tutorial
Cross Modulation
Cross Modulation, "MOD" is a single knob in Helm, but it controls the sound generation for both your oscillators. The Cross Modulator takes data from Oscillator 1 and uses it to alter the 'phase' of Oscillator 2. It uses data from Oscillator 2 to alter the 'tone' of Oscillator 1.
As with many things in Helm the best way to learn about it is to use it. Try playing with Cross Modulation as see what you get.
I hope you have enjoyed this video tutorial on Helm. There will be more tutorials to follow.
Cheers,
