Crumar Spirit - Sound Sources

6
1. Start from the Preparatory Pattern.
This assures that controls that do not playa part in the sound will not
interfere.
2. Set up the sound chart accurately .
3.
Change the MASTER CUTOFF control to alter tone color.
4. Adjust ENVELOPE settings, especially "A" and "D."
5. When simulating orchestral instruments , place the synthesized sound in
context by playing in the appropriate pitch range, and select musical
lines
that could be played on that instrument .
6.
Don't forget you are playing a soloistic instrument; such instruments are
played expressively. Use
the PITCH BEND wheel and the MOD X wheel
to do what solo instruments do best: bend pitch and vary vibrato.
The following sound charts illustrate some of the Spirit's sound world. Play
with them in any orde r. Try them by the book first, and then experiment .

Push RING slider (only) up. Play with INTERVAL and Octave.
7. Push NOISE slider (only) up .
4. Play
with each control - - individually - - in the MASTER, OSCI L-
LATOR A, and OSCI LLATOR B sections. Return each control to its
original position after you play with it.
YOU LEARNED : The MASTER section affects both oscillators. There are
individual controls for A and B. Each oscillator has its own WAVESHAPE
control, which changes the basic tone color . RING can produce bell-like
sounds; WAVEFORM controls have no effect on RI NG, or Ring Modulator
output. NOISE sounds like static - - has no definite pitch.
5. Repeat step 4, with (only) slider B pushed up.
