That Syntakt Sound

@adamantium3 Yes, basically any combination of speed and mult that results in LFO frequencies above 20Hz. Per definition, audio-rate means any frequency between 20Hz and 20kHz, but it’s above 200-300Hz things start to get interesting wrt sidebands.

Here’s a little write-up on audio-rate modulation of amplitude:

SSLS #2: Syntakt oddballs (sound design)

@sdkboi If you’re modulating the VOL parameter it’s usually called audio-rate amplitude modulation. Applied to PAN I assume it’s the same, only applied across the stereo field. I agree it’s a nice and efficient way to introduce a stereo effect. Here’s how amp mod works: When the carrier and modulator both creep above 20Hz, two sidebands are introduced: the sum and the difference of the two original signals. It’s a simple but cool way of introducing more overtones. An example: You have two s…

And here’s an example of using audio-rate LFOs to pitch (used on all the drum sounds, everything coming from the SY chord machine)
