Helm Software Synthesizer - Cross Modulation
======================
We have been looking at the two oscillators in Helm. Today we will explore the function "Cross Modulation" and how it changes the sound of both oscillators.

If you are not sure how to use both oscillators in Helm I have a couple of tutorials here for you:

Cross Modulation

Cross Modulation, "MOD" is a single knob in Helm, but it controls the sound generation for both your oscillators. The Cross Modulator takes data from Oscillator 1 and uses it to alter the 'phase' of Oscillator 2. It uses data from Oscillator 2 to alter the 'tone' of Oscillator 1.

As with many things in Helm the best way to learn about it is to use it. Try playing with Cross Modulation as see what you get.
