Expert Sleepers Oomingmak v1.0.0 - Manual (Page 8)

Introduction
Short version:
Oomingmak turns your guitar into an analogue monosynth.
Long version:
Oomingmak is a pitch- and envelope-tracking (re)synthesis effect.
It tracks the pitch and level of the incoming audio and uses them to:
• synthesize an entirely original sound, using classic analogue-style waveforms and
subtractive synthesis.
• apply pitch modulation to the incoming audio, while syncing to the original wave-
form (the classic ‘oscillator sync’ effect, except that the ‘oscillator’ here is your audio).
The oscillator can also be synced to the incoming audio, and the tracked envelope can be
used to modulate the pitch, filter cut-off and oscillator pulse-width. LFOs are also pro-
vided for further modulation possibilities.
Two ring modulators are also provided, allowing two different combinations of the above
sounds to be modulated against each other.
As with all pitch-tracking devices, Oomingmak tends to work best on monophonic sound
sources. It was designed particularly with the guitar in mind, in which case it tends to
work well on solo lines rather than chords. However, sending chords, or even non-pitched
sounds (e.g. drums) through Oomingmak can also have very interesting results.
