F252 Breather 1
An easy to adjust filter suitable for using breath control for the simulation
of wind and brass instruments etc. Also for keyboard use with breath
controllers connected. Full effort blow gives more brightness and volume,
soft playing gives mellower, quieter sound with optional timbre change
with velocity.
Set-Up Instructions:
Set Breath Control (Ctrl B) to Morph in Realtime
Controllers. Set Velocity to Transform 2 in Note-On Controllers. Set
Key Center to C1 and Key to Filt. Freq. Track +64 in order to main-
tain the softplay timbre difference with velocity.
Morph:
Controls brightness and volume representing effort of “blow”.
Freq. Tracking:
Controls slight increase in upper register brightness
and maintains some harmonic filter tracking.
Transform 2:
Changes the timbre colour with soft playing.
F253 Breather 2
Like F252 Breather 1 with more exaggerated volume change, less timbre
change with velocity. Full effort blow gives more brightness and volume,
soft playing gives mellower, quieter sound.
Set-Up Instructions:
Set breath control to Morph in Realtime Control-
lers. Set velocity to Transform 2 in Note-On Controllers. Set Key
Center to C1 and Filt. Freq. Track +64 in order to maintain the
softplay timbre difference with velocity.
Morph:
Determines brightness and volume representing effort of
“blow”.
Freq. Tracking:
Provides slight increase in upper register brightness,
maintains some harmonic filter tracking.
Transform 2:
Determines change in timbre density on mid-power
blowing.
F254 WindNoise 1
Allows simple tuning and tracking of white noise suitable for mixing/
layering with wind instruments. Designed for use with Instrument 344
Noise Non-X.
Set-Up Instructions:
Set Key Center to C1 & Key to Filt. Tr64.
Morph:
Controls brightness and volume of noise.
Freq. Tracking:
Maintains tuning over pitch.
Transform 2:
Provides tuning adjustment.
F255 WindNoise 2
Like F254 WindNoise 1 but with a broader less harmonic effect. Designed
for use with Instrument 344 Noise Non-X.
Set-Up Instructions:
Set Key Center to C1 & Key to Filter Tr64.
Morph:
Determines brightness and volume of noise.
Freq. Tracking:
Maintains a hint of tuning over pitch.
Transform 2:
Controls high end brightness.
