Additive synthesis can create a melody - carefully chosen DHE settings make it possible. The sound resembles a musical clock playing a 9/8 pattern. Experiment with the FF BIAS and USER1 control knobs. |

| BioReact |
Pure digital aliasing artifacts - somewhat spooky. Note how sensitive to pitch changes it is. |

| Chroom |
A dark ambient drone. |

| Dingl |
An FM-like patch, created by using the MORF function. Adjust the metallic character with the USER1 knob. |

| Etheo2 |
The timbre is somewhat choir-like, the dynamics is rather percussive. The Formant Filter setting was computed with a "virtual resonators" program made by me. |

Lovely pad. Try the USER1 ... USER4 macro controllers, pitch bend, arpeggio... |

| PsdoFlng |
A pseudo-PWM sound using the formant filter to emulate the spectral characteristics of pulse width modulation. No flanger used, and just one ADD source! |
1 * ADD |
| Quartz-5 |
From the "drones" contest: A hypnotizing rhythmic-harmonic maze. (Who cares whether it's exactly a "drone" or a piece of Minimal Music?) Playing suggestion: Push the hold pedal and arpeggiate some chord, trying to match the rhythm. Recommended controllers: USER4 (controls echo amount). With a held-chord example (850kB MP3 file) - no sequencer or arpeggiator involved! |
3 * ADD |
| Simoog |
A classic lead sound: A sawtooth wave is filtered with a 24dB/octave resonant lowpass filter. Nothing unusual - besides the fact that it is done completely with additive synthesis (even the "real" filter is switched off). |

| TimeSurf |
From the "long evolving" contest: Calm, doze-in-the-sun atmosphere. Controllers: Cutoff, USER1...4. With a held-chord example (2.8MB MP3 file) - no sequencer or arpeggiator involved! |
