Filter Routing parallel / serial
The Routing function is one of the advanced features of
the Blofeld. Its purpose is to control the signal flow of the
filters. In comparison with many other synthesizers where
signal flow is static, the Blofeld offers a more flexible
configuration.
The Blofeld offers two independent filters and panning
units. In fact, the panning units are part of the filters in the
Blofeld. The routing control makes it possible to change
the signal flow from a parallel to a serial filter
configuration and vice versa.
This is how the Routing section works in detail:
•
The Oscillator section uses two separate outputs –
one connected to the input of Filter 1, the other
connected to the input of Filter 2. Each sound
source, i.e. the oscillators, the ring modulator, and
the noise generator has an individual Balance
control. By means of these controls you can
determine what portion of each source’s signal is
routed to the inputs of Filter 1 and Filter 2. E.g. this
makes it possible to send the signal of Oscillator 1
and 2 to Filter 1 and the ring modulation signal to
Filter 2.
• When the Routing parameter is set to serial, the
whole output signal of Filter 1 is routed to the
input of Filter 2, and added to the amount of signal
that is already coming from the Oscillators through
its dedicated output. This setting is equivalent to a
serial connection of the two filters.
• When the Routing parameter is set to parallel, the
whole output signal of Filter 1 is routed to the
filter’s panning unit. This setting is equivalent to a
parallel routing of two filters, each filtering the
input signals independently.
After passing the panning units, both signals are summed
up again and sent to the Amplifier and FX section.
