Well explained and very helpful! I have to agree that it took me quite some days to figure out whats actually going on. There is a learning curve with MYTH for sure, yet it is also rewarding imho.Okay this just clicked for me.... Helps to read the manual sometimes!![:D]( "Very Happy")
The Irises are essentially oscillator creators, and quite cool ones at that. The color transformers (bottom row of transformers) provide variety and change throughout the Iris, though sometimes that change makes everything sound the same, however you will see this on the Iris by the color indicator (colors become the same). So, if you want more change in your oscillator, use the transformers to provide more color to the Iris.
Make sense so far?
Then, the way you reach the different sections of each Iris is through the modulation system and the position transformer, with of course the option to fade or ring modulate between the two Irises!This can make for some really cool oscillators, in essence the starting point of your patch.
Reminds me a bit of wavetable synthesis, so it may not reinvent the wheel per se, as it's sort of the same concept.
From there, you add: filter, FX, traditional osc, more modulation, etc.
Hope that helps those curiously sniffing and poking at this synth.
EDIT: And yes, some of the transformers on the top row also alter the Iris, but just the shape and not the color. Bottom line, the transformers as whole create your Iris for you, create your wavetable-esque oscillator.
This can make for some really cool oscillators, in essence the starting point of your patch.Another thing to try out is overdriving the Output using the Gain - knob, maybe compensating using the -6dB function. Leads to some good results, making things a bit fuller also slightly warmer.
