4. Lag Generator used to smooth Pressure
This is a way to smooth a Pressure CV signal to enhance performance expressiveness.
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters.
- Using a patch cord, connect the VX-351 KBD PRESS output to the CP-251’s Lag Processor Input.
- Using another patch cord, connect CP-251’s Lag Processor Output to an Attenuator Input.
- With another patch cord, connect the Attenuator Output to the other end to the Voyager’s
FILTER Input jack (the FILTER CUTOFF jack on the VX-352)
- Set the Lag Processor
RISE
and
FALL
controls to ‘10’
Play a note and press down into the keybed a bit. Adjust the
ATTENUATOR
control to achieve the desired
pressure effect on the sound.
5. Envelope to Noise level for noise component at the attack of a note.
Some sounds have a burst of noise at the beginnings of a note or “chiff ” – for instance a flute or a pipe
organ. This configuration digs a little deeper into the Voyager to achieve this effect.
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters.
- Set the
OSC1
WAVE
control to Triangle wave
- Set the FILTER ENVELOPE controls to the following settings:
ATTACK:
1 msec
DECAY
: 100 msec
SUSTAIN:
0
RELEASE:
0
- Using a patch cable, connect the VX-351 Filter Envelope output (ENVS FILTERS) to the
CP-251
MIXER 1
input.
- Set the CP-251
MIXER 1
Input and the
MASTER
level controls to 10. Set the
OFFSET
control
to –2 (about 10 o’ clock on the dial).
- Using a patch cable, connect the CP-251 Mixer Output (OUT +) to the Voyager’s MOD2 Input.
- Set the Voyager’s PEDAL/ON MOD BUSS controls to the following settings:
SOURCE:
ON/MOD2
DESTINATION:
LFO/PGM
SHAPING:
ON/PGM
AMOUNT:
10.
- In the Edit menu select menu 2.4, ‘PGM PEDAL DEST’ and press
ENTER
. Scroll through the
programmable destinations and select ‘NOISE LEVEL’
- In the Voyager’s Mixer section, set the
NOISE
switch to ‘ON’, and adjust the
NOISE
level
control to 5.
- Set the Voyager’s
AMOUNT TO FILTER
control to +2.
- In the Edit Menu select menu 3.4, ‘TRIGGER MODES’. Set the trigger mode to ‘Multi-triggering’.
If you are using the RME with a MIDI keyboard controller that does not provide Aftertouch
(Pressure), try using the VX-351 Pitch Bend (WHEELS PITCH) or Mod Wheel (WHEELS
MOD) outputs instead of KBD PRESS. A little bit of lag can add a touch of organic
expressiveness to these controls.
