Blended harmonic frequency shifting smoothly morphs the fundamental to the nearest integer harmonic. Damped cross phase modulation drives the system to chaos. Asymmetric phase modulation removes half of the phase modulation sidebands, similar to granular pulse trains. Formant synthesis narrows the window and generates overtones. Sync damping progressively synchronises the oscillator to the function generator. Damped Self feedback interacts with folding and blending in unique and surprising ways. Harmonic stretching frequency shifts all the generated harmonics whilst keeping the fundamental unaltered, allowing you to detune the harmonics within a sound. The hyper-flexible function generator can be driven at audio rates for pulsar synthesis, independent to the main oscillators morphing wavehsaping matrix.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eManifold structure:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eK-ACCUMULATOR smoothly morphs between super-positions of an eight node matrix, progressively remapping the panel controls to waveshaping destinations for the Carrier \/ Modulator Oscillator section.
