Vermona PERfourMER MKII - quad analog synthesizer - Manual (Page 26)

played independently in Mono-1-mode, disregarding the selected
PLAYMODE setting.
NOTE Mono-1-mode allows stacking of synthesizer chan-
nels. Here, you may use identical or different settings
for oscillators, filters and modulators. With wave-
form, octave, filter etc. being adjusted roughly iden-
tical, the PerFourMer MKII will react like a common
synthesizer with multiple oscillators. However, it
offers the advantage to spread channel across the
stereo panorama and achieve a wide image without
using a chorus effect.
With oscillators, filters and modulators being
adjusted differently, you will create "stacked" sounds
that are often used in today's music productions. A
PerFourMer stack might look like this: Synthesizer
channel 1 delivers a deep foundation using a heavily
filtered saw tooth waveform, synthesizer channel 2
creates movement by using a square waveform,
being modulated in pulse width as well as being fil-
tered with high resonance. Synthesizer channels 3
and 4 form a sync-sound with short decay time that
will add a pronounced attack to the sound. Feel free
to experiment with stacks - you will come across
endless sound variations.
MONO 2 (M2)
This PLAYMODE is monophonic, too. Here, the combined synthesizer
channels are not addressed in parallel but one after another. The first MIDI-
note will trigger e.g. channel 1, the next channel 2 and so on ...
NOTE Try out the same application as for Mono-1-mode.
When setting all four channels with identical settings
but different panning positions, the result will not
sound chorus-like. Instead, the sound will be
jumping in the stereo image rhythmically. This mode
is well suited for fast sequences and arpeggios.
