3.5.2. The “Extended” mode
When the Mini V is at the “Extended” position, you access an extension panel to the
parameters of synthesis. It is displayed in the form of a modulation matrix, a Low
Frequency Oscillator (LFO) which was brought in be substituted for oscillator 3 which was
being used to this effect. An arpeggiator, a chorus and stereo delay complete this extension.
3.5.2.1. The modulation matrix
The modulation matrix multiplies the possibilities for editing sound when compared to the
original instrument. You can choose 8 sources (sub osc., envelopes, etc.) to modulate 8
destinations (freq. Osc., freq. VCF, etc.).
The choice of source and destination is done via the LCD displays. The matrix offers 15
sources of modulation and 35 destinations (compared to 2 on the original!).
3.5.2.2. The LFO
On the original synthesizer (equivalent to the “Classic” mode), oscillator3 can be set to
the low frequency (“Lo” position in the range) to be used in LFO mode. This removed the
possibility of using 3 simultaneous oscillators as well as a slow modulation on the filter cut-
off frequency for example.
With the added LFO module added in the panel of the “Extended” mode, you can keep the
3rd oscillator as a base for sound and add an additional source of modulation to be used
on one of the 35 available locations.
