The results of using different frequency ratios, as well relative output levels between operators; the greater the feedback paths are part of every algorithm, feedback is 25 as different algorithms, are shown graphically in the level of the modulator, the more harmonics are present. not used in every voice; an editing function permits the accompanying illustration. In the left column, you see amount of feedback to be set to any of 8 values from the resulting waveforms created by 1:1,2:1 and 3:1 Feedback is available in every algorithm none (0) to a maximum (7). frequency ratios when a modulator is stacked atop a Notice that every algorithm includes one FEEDBACK Often, the only difference between two algorithms is carrier - for example, operators 1 and 2 in Algorithm 5 path. The feedback is usually "wrapped around" a single the location of the feedback loop. This is true with algo- or 16. In the right column you see the resulting wave- operator, with a few exceptions noted below. The feed- rithms #3 and #4, and with algorithms #5 and #6, as forms from these same 3 frequency ratios when the two back returns a portion of the operators output back to illustrated. If you were to switch between either of the operators are side-by-side, both serving as carriers so there is no frequency modulation, but instead there is an additional input on the same operator (except in algorithms #4 & #6, where the feedback is returned to two algorithms in a pair with the feedback level at 0, there would be no difference in the sound, whereas additive synthesis. the top modulator on the "stack". In effect, the operator with the feedback at a higher setting, the sound could Still more variations can be achieved by changing the is modulating itself when feedback is used. While the differ significantly. If FEEDBACK is at 0, these two algorithms become identical
