frequency. Learn to excite the resonators on different frequencies within a few octaves so
that the PIPE produces clear notes on the decay.
Things you should try:
1. Sing glissando, quickly exciting resonant frequencies one by one.
2. Try to excite the resonators with the voice harmonics and not the main voice frequency.
To do this, try something similar to overtone singing.
3. Use this algorithm with percussive sounds. To do this, make the decay time shorter.
4. Turn both SIZE knobs when playing the PIPE, like if you were playing a melody.
5. Set one SIZE knob very high and the other one very low.
FILTERRA
Controls assignment:
Knob • — FREQ — controls the frequency of the resonant bandpass filter;
Knob • • — Q — controls resonance;
Knob • • • — REV TIME — reverb time and amount;
Sensor FX — FREEZE — "freezes" the sound in the reverb into a constant infinite texture.
Description:
This algorithm combines a dynamic resonant filter with a reverb. The filter frequency
depends on the FREQ knob and volume of the input. The resonance is also dynamic. The
algorithm allows playing beautiful leads, something between a duduk and a synthesizer.
You can also achieve various powerful percussive sounds and noises.
Using the FREEZE sensor, you can freeze the sound in the reverb creating a choir-like
backtrack for lead singing parts. To do this, turn the reverb knob close to the maximum and
sing a chord note by note. Then quickly touch the FX sensor. Now the choir you created
will play as an infinite texture of sound and you can sing the leading part on top of it.
When FX FREEZE is in use, the reverb input is turned off and the microphone input becomes
100% dry. If you wants FX on the lead part here you need to use a separate reverb or delay.
Tips for using this algorithm:
Learn to control the resonance frequency with the loudness of your voice. In order to hear
the resonance frequency clearly, set the Q knob to 50-80%.
Turn the Q knob to 100% and try making percussive sounds from very low to very high by
turning the FREQ knob.
Singing in unison with the resonant frequency will result in major amplification of the sound.
This way you can, for example, create powerful bass sounds by setting the FREQ knob low
enough. You can also create low-frequency vibrations by making sounds such as 'R-R-R'
or using guttural sounds. It can be useful for creating deep basses even if you don't have
a deep voice.
