Wavy FM pad?

[annikk.exe]

When I was using the Subtractor in Reason, I could create a cool wavy warbly sound by doing the following:


osc 1 + 2 on, mix 50% each, both saws
noise level - 8%
noise colour - 0% (ie "darkest" noise)
FM level - 5%

This would result in an organic sounding wavy pitch effect.
Unlike the Virus, there was only one mode of FM on the Subtractor. I have no idea what "mode" it might have been though..

How can I replicate this on the Virus TI? What FM mode should I use and how can I change the noise colour?

An example/soundclip/sample would help us help you

Yea.. that would help I guess :P
I'll post one when I get home tonight.

Ok. Here is a very basic Subtractor setup which shows the setting I am using to get the sound:



You can see here I have made the following relevant settings to attain this sound:

1. Turned Oscillator 2 on.
2. Turned FM up to 6.
3. Turned Noise level up to 15.
4. Turned Noise colour down to 0.

The result is this sound. (mp3, 193 KB, right click save-as)


How can I replicate this on the Virus?

And liek, srsly, how do I change the noise colour?

In this thread the guy claims to have found the location after reading the manual. I've read the same page he's talking about and gone through all the edit menus including after I'd turned noise level up a bit, and there is still no mention of noise colour anywhere.

I've been through all the edit menus for oscillators 1, 2, and 3, the master edit menu, the config menu, the filter menus... I can't think where else to check.

Using OS 2.7.3 until later this week when I get my new DAW and I can install Virus Control and update it... Is the noise colour control just missing in this OS or something?

Noise colour is still where it's been since VirusC AFAIK, it might have changed button clicks but not location.

On hardware TI:
Select Osc1 and press edit twice, hit the parameter button right a few times.

There ya go. It's available as a modulation destination too.
