UltraProteus Operation Manual
STEP-BY-STEP
To illustrate the point, let's create a complete sound from scratch as an example
of how the various parameters combined with the Z-plane filter can radically
alter an instrument. In this case we'll try running a saxophone through a
clarinet and oboe filter using only the primary layer. As in previous experi-
ments, start with the default preset and change only the parameters listed.

105 Tenor Sax

Realtime Ctrl

The Tenor Saxophone is an instrument rich in harmonics, making it ideal for
filtering. The Alternate Volume Envelope has been adjusted for a fast attack and
release. The filter type is 083 Clarinet->Oboe, which models the resonance
characteristics of a clarinet and morphs into the resonance of an oboe. On this
particular filter, Transform 2 controls a lowpass filter and increases the volume
slightly (more T2 equals brighter and louder). The Morph Offset is turned down
to 000 so that it can be turned back up using Controller A (which defaults to the
Mod Wheel of your keyboard.). Control A has been routed to control the filter
Morph in the Realtime Modulation Control.
Now to the Note-On modulation. The Key Number has been routed to Key
Tracking with the standard setting of +064. This keeps the tone constant as you
play up and down the keyboard. Velocity has been routed to Transform 2, which
will make the sound brighter and louder as you play harder. Velocity increases
the Volume as you play harder.
As you increase Control A, three things happen:
1) The filter Morphs to the Oboe filter.
2) The Attack of the sound becomes just slightly longer (Ctrl A ->Attack).
3) The Frequency Tracking amount decreases slightly (Ctrl A ->Freq Trk -050).
This was done to balance the tone of the sounds.
This is just a simple example to get you started. To learn more about how great
presets are constructed, examine the factory presets in detail and discover their
secrets. Interesting and expressive sounds have many different controls occur-
ring simultaneously. Genius is in the details. Take the time to fine tune and
polish your creation!
