ARTURIA – CS-80 V – USER MANUAL
64
Your sound is now modulated by different parameters, adding unique
complexity.
Try different matrix settings to see how the CS-80V can become an effective
solution to design your own sounds.
5.1.3
Use of real time controllers
As we have previously seen, the use of real time controllers is one of the strong
points of the CS-80V. They will allow you to apply a large variety of simple and
quick modulations to the sound all while playing the keyboard.
5.1.3.1
Velocity and aftertouch
These 2 controllers are directly linked to the playing on the keyboard:
Velocity controls the cutoff frequency (BRILL) and the VCA volume.
Aftertouch controls the speed of the vibrato modulation, and the VCA
volume.
This was the configuration of the original CS-80. But you will be able to go
further thanks to the modulation matrix, as these controls are among the
sources of modulation.
Aftertouch can be employed to accentuate one of the 2 voices of synthesis:
apply aftertouch on the VCA volume. When you press harder on a note on the
keyboard, the volume of voice 2 will progressively appear. This will create a
morphing effect between these 2 voices.
Apply aftertouch on the VCA volume
5.1.3.2
The ring modulator
The ring modulator is essentially used to add a variety of harmonics to a sound.
Let’s use the example of the sound from a bell:
Start by activating the ring mode by clicking in the >M< logo:
