Release Click
Start with 512:INIT PATCH and go
straight to the TVA section . Change
Release time to 33 (you will find out
why very shortly). Now go to the OSC1
/ OSC Type page . Set PCM-type
and select wave 151 “Clav Lo” .
Touch the COSM1 pad, select TVF and
touch the Cutoff tab. Take Freq down to
100 and set the envelope
parameters as follows: A = 45, D = 127,
S = 0, R = 25 (shorter than in the
main TVA) and Env Depth = -46 .
To accentuate the effect, touch the
Resonance tab and take Reso up to
about 80 . Go back to the Cutoff page
and play the keyboard.
OK, this sound is not particularly spectacular at this primitive stage, but it demonstrates the only way (in most synthesizers) of getting a
noticeable and rapid change in timbre when you release notes - setting a negative envelope depth.
Getting More out of a Sample
One of the major selling-points of the V-Synth is its Variphrase features, so you are surely aware of all that Variphrase has to offer.
However, you may not realize all the implications this has in terms of flexibility i.e. just how far you can go with a “raw” waveform.
Patch 206:FragileVoice is a good case in point. To find out how this sound was made, touch OSC1 and check which Waveform was used
to create something like a cross between a voice and an ethnic violin: “Power-B fast” is actually a nasal organ-type sample with a fast
rotary effect. Let’s find out how simple it see the potential of waveforms. Instead of defeating all the parameters in turn, go to 512:INIT
PATCH and set OSC1 / OSC Type / PCM / Waveform to 168 “Power-B fast”. Now turn the Time knob down...
