Transition Shape
In the graphic at the beginning
of this chapter, each Segment
progresses in a straight line from
its beginning voltage level to its
target level. But one of the most
powerful
features of
Control Forge
is that each
Segment
can travel in
a trajectory
defined by
one of 67
different
transition
shapes,
from linear
and exponential shapes to various flavors of
random, chaotic, and many more unusual
shapes, including the ability to pass CVs
directly through to the output for individual
stages.
The available shapes include:
Linear
Exponential 1-7
Circle 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 1.16
Squeeze
Fast Line 1-3
Medium Line 1-2
Slow Ramp 1-2
Bloom and Bloom 2
Circle 1.16, 1.8, 1.6, 1.4 Reverse
Slow Curve 1-2
Delay DC and DC Delay
Curve 2x
Curve 2x B-C
Zig Zag 1-3
Chaos 03, 06, 12, 16, 25, 33, 37, 50, 66, 75,
95, 99
Linear Shuffle and Linear Shuffle 2
Random A-L, Z
CV1-4 Passthrough
You’ll find graphs of all the shapes in
Chapter
21
.
About Delay DC and DC Delay Shapes
These two
shapes are
special cases
designed
primarily for
use in step
sequences,
where you’d
typically
like each
segment’s
“note” to
remain
unchanged for the entire length of the
segment.
With
DC Delay,
the segment’s CV jumps
immediately to the
Target Level
and remains
there for the entire length of the segment.
With
Delay DC
, the segment’s CV stays at the
ending voltage of the previous segment for
the entire length of the segment and then
jumps to it’s own
Target Level
at the very end
of the segment.
About the ZigZag 1, 2, and 3 Shapes
These shapes appear to have two separate
curves in the same space, but what happens
when they’re selected is that the CV output
alternates back and forth, point by point,
between the two curves. (Check out their
plots in
Chapter 21
or listen to them driving a
VCO and it will be clear how each works.)
About CV 1-4 Passthrough Shapes
When one of the four
CV Passthrough
Shapes
are selected for a segment, during
the
Time
programmed for that segment, the
CV output is exactly the CV that is present at
the
CV 1
or
CV 2
inputs or the CV that results
from the positions of the
CV 3
or
CV 4
knobs.
This vastly expands the range of possible CV
contours, as well as offers dramatic effects
when Control Forge is operated at audio
rates (see
Chapter 16
for details).
