Sub-Mixer
WHAT’S IT FOR?
The Sub-Mixer alters the levels of the basic kantos waveforms that make up
the output.
WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS?
NAME RANGE WHAT IT DOES
Osc1 -∞ to +6dB Sets the level of the signal generated by
Oscillator 1
Fund1 -∞ to +6dB Sets the level of the sine wave extracted
from the input signal and modified by the
Osc1 tuning and constraint controls
Osc2 -∞ to +6dB Sets the level of the signal generated by
Oscillator 2
Fund2 -∞ to +6dB Sets the level of the sine wave extracted
from...

44
Input -∞ to 0dB Mixes the original input signal into the
overall output
Output -∞ to 0dB Sets the overall kantos level
Mute On/off Each channel has a mute button. Enabling
this takes the associated channel out of
the mixer. The output mute silences
kantos completely.
Solo On/off The Synth, Delay, and Input channels each
have a solo button. Enabling this mutes
any non-soloed channels.
Pan Continuously When kantos is instantiated as a stereo
effect, the Synth, Delay, and Input
channels each have a pan...

45
Floor -80dB to -2dB kantos ignores signals below this level.
Set this above any hum, residual noise,
etc. so kantos isn’t confused by these
signals.
Hold 10 to 999ms Sets a minimum time before a note off
occurs, regardless of the input signal
status
Manual Gate On/off Click on this to momentarily let the
oscillator sound through without any
filter or Articulator processing. This is
ideal for hearing an oscillator wave’s raw,
unprocessed sound.
LFOs
WHAT ARE THEY FOR?
The LFOs (low frequency...

46
Amt -100 to +100% Sets how much of the modulation source
affects the modulation destination, and
whether the modulation adds to the
destination parameter value (+ numbers)
or subtracts from it (- numbers).
Destination 36 options Chooses one of 35 modulation destina-
tions, including the modulation amount
controls, or no modulation destination
(none).
Amp Env
WHAT’S IT FOR?
The Amp envelope generates a control signal that can serve as a modula-
tion source. It is triggered according to signals produced...

47
WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS?
Parameters are changed either by entering a value in the numeric field, or
clicking within the area indicated by the graphic and dragging.
NAME RANGE WHAT IT DOES
A(ttack) 1 to 999ms After triggering, this is the time required
to go from full off to maximum level
D(ecay) 1 to 999ms After reaching maximum level, decay sets
the amount of time until the envelope
reaches the sustain level
S(ustain) 0 to 100% The envelope stays at this level for as
long as the trigger remains on...
