NOISE AS A MODULATION SOURCE
Now slowly turn the NOISE / VCF MOD knob all the way up. Notice the
difference when Noise is used as a Modulation Source for the Filter.
Instead of creating depth, it makes the sound seem distorted or lo-fi.
SET THE NOISE MODULATION
Set the NOISE / VCF MOD knob to 9 O’clock.
SHORTENING VCA DECAY
Turn the VCA DECAY knob to 10 O’clock and listen to how the sound tightens
up. This is because the natural Decay tails are being chopped off by the VCA,
which is essentially a dynamic volume control.
EXTENDING THE VCA DECAY
Turn the VCA DECAY knob to 1 O’clock and listen to how the sound opens up.
This is because the natural Decay tails are allowed to pass through.
SOFTENING THE ATTACK
Set the VCA EG switch to SLOW and turn the VCA DECAY knob between 9
and 10 O’clock. Listen to how it softens the attack of the sound.
NOTE: Shorter VCA DECAY settings will result in more dramatic results when
the VCA EG switch is set to SLOW.
This concludes our walkthrough.
REMEMBER: Experimentation and learning will reward you with a lifetime of rich synthesizer experiences.
