    4 why synthesize? Samplers are synths that use actual recordings of instruments to create sounds, and many synth keyboards use pre-programmed sounds, but a truly modular synthesizer like the timewarp 2600 lets you create your own sounds from the ground up. By supplying you with the tools to generate...

A typical eq is really just a set of filters grouped together. Filter cutoff (fc) - the point at which a filter begins to re...

    6 i/o jacks the panel has eighty-one mini-jacks. Forty-five are inputs, twenty-nine are outputs, and seven operate as both input and output. Of the 45 inputs, 32 are in a row running across the center of the panel. (there are actually 34 jacks in the row, but the two labeled “gate” and “trig” are out...

Patch in these if you want to feed some other signal into the module. Outputs are the resulting signal of a module. Patch in these if you want to divert the o...

    8 preamp section preamp/gain control the preamp section controls the gain of the audio signal(s) from the track in which the timewarp 2600 is running. A rotary knob labeled gain adjusts the signal level. If the timewarp 2600 is running in full stereo configuration–as a plug-in to a stereo track–the p...

    Timewarp 2600 getting started guide 9 vco 1 vco 1 ➊ generates saw, square, and sine outputs. The default signal to the first (unattenuated) fm control input is from the keyboard. The audio/lf switch ➋ above this input switches the mode of the vco from audio (10hz - 20,000hz) to lfo mode (0.03hz – 30h...

    10 vco 3 the vco3 pulse ➊ width is manually variable, just like in vco2. Vco 3 generates sawtooth, sine, and pulse ❷ outputs. The default signals to the next three fm control inputs are from: a) the noise generator ❸ b) the adsr envelope generator c) vco2 sine ❹ , which is the output of vco2’s sine ...

    12 vca with the initial gain control ❶ at maximum, and with no control input, the vca will pass with unchanged amplitude any signal presented to its signal input. On the other hand, with the initial gain control at minimum, no signal will pass through the amplifier at all unless some positive signal ...

    Timewarp 2600 getting started guide 13 ring modulator the ring modulator ❶ adds or subtracts the inputs from vco1 and vco2 together. It works with a carrier signal and a modulator. The term “ring modulator” is the most common name in sound synthesis and comes from the original analog method for crea...

The stepped levels it produces are useful for controlling oscillator and filter frequencies and occasionally vca gain. Any signal whatsoever may be sampled. Th...
