Arturia 2.6 manual Electronic percussion sequence

The “Bode-Bass” patch

9.4.1.2Electronic 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.
