108 Creating Synth Brass Sequential
6. In the
filter
section, set
cutoff
to 26,
resonance
to 15, and
drive
to
100.
7. In the
filter envelope
section, set the
amount
to 105, the
attack
to 17,
decay
to 64,
sustain
to 50, and
release
to 90.
8. Enable touch sensitivity by pressing and enabling the
velocity
button.
9. In the
auxiliary envelope
section, select
envelope
1 and set its destina-
tion to
osc
2
coarse freq
. This routes envelope 1 to modify Osc 2 pitch
according to its ADSR (attack, decay, sustain, release) settings . This
will create the slight pitch variation at the beginning of the sound (the
“pitch blip”).
You can quickly assign the mod destination for Envelope 1 by holding down
the envelope’s selector button and turning the Oscillator 2 frequency knob. This will
auto-assign the modulation destination to the envelope.
10. Set the auxiliary
amount
to 35 and
decay
to 20.
11. Play some notes in the upper range of the keyboard. Classic synth
brass!
12. Experiment with different auxiliary envelope
amount
and
decay
settings to fine tune the “pitch blip” effect.

2. Set all three oscillators to a sawtooth wave. And set their
octave
to 2.
1. In the
filter
section, set the
cutoff
to 800 and
resonance
to 122.
2. In the
filter envelope
section, set the
env amount
to 12.
3. Set filter envelope
attack
to 59,
decay
