State title

grFmStepsDualFm

Type of sound

Combined grain rate FM and grain pitch FM. Using a step function for modulation frequency, so the frequency to modulator ratio will be in different integer relationships. High modulation index will create unstable pitch slides.

Controllers

Expression1: Grain Pitch FM Frequency Step Function (0.5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).
    Steps coincide with fractional values of the expression control,
    so e.g. an expression value of 0.4 equals an FM ration of 1/4,
    while expression value 0.5 equals FM ratio 1/5
Expression2: Grain Pitch FM Index
Expression3: Grain Rate FM Frequency Step Function (0.5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).
    Steps coincide with fractional values of the expression control,
    so e.g. an expression value of 0.4 equals an FM ration of 1/4,
    while expression value 0.5 equals FM ratio 1/5
Expression4: Grain Rate and Pitch FM Index

Pitch definition mode

Grain Rate
Octave: 0
e.g.
440Hz at note num 69 = octave 0
220Hz at note num 69 = octave -1
