When
synthesizing
sounds with the
synthe-
sizer, it
is
recommended to start
with a
setting for the
sound
of
a
conventional
acoustica!
instrument,
then proceed
to
make
variations on
that sound.
This
method
is very
effective for
becoming
familiar with
synthesizer
functions as wet! as
with the
actual synthesis
of sounds you
like.
The
Sound
Examples in this
manual include
settings for
18 acoustical
instruments. By
gradually modifying
the sounds
into
variations, a
large number
of sounds
can be
produced.
What follows is an
example
of the method
to
use in
producing
variations.
VARIATION
OF BASIC
SETTING
The setting at
the top
of
this
page is
an
example of a
setting for a
violin sound.
Try to
make some
variations on
this.
First change
the
depth
and
speed
of vibrato,
portamento and
autobend effects. The
resulting sound
will be fairly
different from
that of the basic
setting.
Then
change the
range and
waveform,
which will
greatly vary the
sound.
With the
settings
shown in
(3),
the
waveform
is set at
IU
and
modulated by the
IFO,
which will cause
a
largely "electronic"
sound.
When the
range is changed
greatly,
the sound will
become quite
different (for
example,
bass
sound at
32'.)
Now,
change the
VCF settings as
shown
in
(4).
The result
will
be
a
completely dif-
ferent, new
sound unique to
the synthesizer.
Use
8'
or
16'
PWM wave
(setting
of
(3))
to
produce
interesting tone
color.
