mod almighty

mod almighty mod almighty is a 3 Osc synth with 6 LFOs for modulation overload. It also has a state variable filter and ADSR envelope per oscillator.

Each of the 6 LFOs control a parameter for all 3 oscs, but each osc can have it's upper and lower limit set differently. Each osc also has it's own volume envelope and it's own filter that can also be modulated

WARNING: mod almighty will hog your CPU if you let it. See below for some tips on conserving this precious commodity

Controls

Per oscillator

Each oscillator has its controls on a separate page. Click the 1,2 or 3 buttons in the bottom right to switch between views

oscillator on/off - highlight the button next to the oscillator name to turn the oscillator on. turn off oscillators you don't need to save CPU

waveform - choose from sine, saw, ramp, triangle, pulse, white or pink noise

octave - from -3 to +3, this will transpose the incoming midi note by the number of octaves selected

min/max values - select the upper and lower values for the modulation. If modulation is off, defaults to the upper value.

detune, +/-12 semitones

pulse width, -10 to 10 = zero to 100%, 0 = 50% is a square wave (only applies to pulse waveforms, turn off modulation if not using a pulse waveform to save CPU)

vol, 0-10, volume of the oscillator output

pan, -5 to +5, left to right

filter on/off - highlight the button next to the filter to turn it on. Turn off if not required to save CPU

filter type - low pass, high pass, band reject, band pass

cut off, 0-16 kHz
resonance, 0-6

ADSR envelope - modulates the volume

vol - the relative volume for each oscillator


modulators

type - choose from LFO, inverted LFO (180 out of phase), random and off. Switch off to save CPU if modulation is not required

shape - choose from sine, saw, ramp, triangle, pulse. does not apply to random

beats per cycle - the LFO is tempo syncd to your project, select the cycle length of the LFO in beats, larger numbers will give less frequent LFO cycles


general controls

mono - mod almighty is a 6 voice synth, so it can play a maximum of 6 notes at once. Even with this limited polyphony, mod almighty can consume a lot of CPU, so select to mono to limit to one note playable at a time to save more CPU. This can be useful for realtime playback, but you can switch it off again for rendering.

retrigger - in mono mode, if selected will retrigger the envelope if a 2nd note is played while the first note has not yet ended.

portamento - in mono mode, the time taken to change from the pitch of the first note to the pitch of the second note if the first is not yet released


Saving CPU

due to the amount of modulation, sometimes CPU can be devoured by mod almighty. Here are some tips on saving CPU

i) switch off modulators, filters and oscillators if you are not using them
ii) switch off the pulse width modulator if you have not selected a pulse wave
iii) the detune and panning modulators are very hungry, use only if necessary
iv) the filters are quite greedy too, switch off if you don't need them
iii) switch to mono mode to reduce the load, even if just for realtime playback and switch on again for rendering
