ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 59
On the Mod panel, the following parameters are available:
•
Balancecontrol: Here you set the mix relationship between the original Waveform and the
Waveform produced by resynthesis. With a value of 0 only the original Waveform can be
heard, with a value of 1 only the resynthesized Waveform.
•
Denscontrol: Here you dene the density of the grain cloud by setting how individual
grains overlap. The values ranges from 3 to 8; small values give a raw sound, higher
value a more polished sound.
• Scattercontrol: With this you can control the diffusion, that is, the accidental scattering
of the grain cloud.
•
FrequencymenuandFrequencycontrol: Enables you to enter the oscillator’s frequency as
a transposition of the played note (Trans), as a relationship (Ratio) with the played note,
as a xed Frequency (Hz) or via a xed MIDI note (Note). See section 5.3.2, “Frequency
Menu and Frequency Control”, above for details.
5.4.9 Sample Mode
Oscillator in Sample mode
The Oscillator module rules two sample-based modes: Sample and Granular. These modes
make it possible for you to use ABSYNTH5 as a sampler, playing back previously uploaded
sound data in the WAV or AIFF format.
The basic control is the same in both modes, so the following instructions on the Sample
mode also apply to the Granular mode described in the next section.
In contrast to conventional sampling instruments, ABSYNTH lacks the usual functions such as
key mapping, velocity layering or AKAI import. Unlike the conventional samplers, ABSYNTH’s
emphasis is not on the realistic reproduction of sampled instruments, but rather the creative
possibilities that sample-supported synthesis provides.
