Routing an Oscillator or Filter

You can route the signal from any oscillator (OSC A, OSC B, OSC C, SUB, and NOISE) or any filters (FILTER 1 and FILTER 2) to a range of targets.

The following table describes the routing targets:

Target Description
Filter Route the signal to either FILTER 1, FILTER 2, or by varying degrees to both.
Main Route the signal to the main output, passing through the effects section.
Direct Route the signal to bypass the filter and effects section and play “clean” along with the main output.
None Route the signal to no output path. You can use this setting when you want to use an oscillator as a modulation source without having the sound included as part of the output signal.

You can access the routing options by clicking the button near the top right of an oscillator or filter.

When you click, a set of controls appear that are relevant to the routing path.

For example, in the case of routing to the Serum filters, you have the option of routing the signal completely to FILTER 1 (knob turned far left), completely to FILTER 2 (knob turned far right), or to some combination of both (knob set somewhere in between).

By default, OSC A is automatically routed to FILTER 1, though FILTER 1 is not enabled in new presets.

The other oscillators and filters are automatically routed to the Main output. You can change the routing at any time.

You can also send the signal to the Serum busses (BUS 1 and BUS 2) by adjusting the corresponding knobs.

To change the signal routing, click the Routing Menu Button button and choose another option, as appropriate.
