The “Bode-Bass” patch
9.4.1.2 Electronic percussion sequence
For this example we will use the sequencer to create a simple melody with the Bode
Shifter. Sequence lines 1 and 2 will modulate the height of the Bode frequency (”
Frequency shifter modulation”).
Take the preset “Sequences” > “Bode_Seq” in the “Factory” bank. The composition of
modules is about the same as the previous example. A low pass 24dB filter has been added
to filter undesirable high-pitched harmonics as output from the Bode Shifter.
The first two sequencer lines modulate two Bode Shifter modulation inputs (the first at a
value of 0.3247 and the second at – 0.4588). The two sequences complement one another
setting the “amount of shift” parameter.
The Bode Shifter possesses a sound close to a Ring Modulator; the resulting sound is
slightly metallic. We can direct the signal to a low pass filter (LP filter 24 dB) to dampen
certain high frequencies.
It is also possible to use a waveform that is not as rich in harmonics on the oscillator (the triangle, for example) if
we don’t want to filter the sound coming from the Bode Shifter.
