7.5 Special Effect and Stereo modules. Additional modulation tools
By clicking on the label [close] you can access to some very
fun and useful display and modulations modules. We have
already seen the sequencer display module where you can see
and edit the sequences, but you will find the
DynaMYX
, a
powerful Dynamic Stereo Modulation YX pad, and the
PolyMYX
, a Polyphonic Modulation YX pad.
7.5.1 Sequencer display module
See above
7.5.2 DynaMYX
This module, the Dynamic stereo Modulation YX pad,
allows you to position each available voice inside the
stereo space. Click on a voice inside the 2-D
positioning screen and move it. You can put it left,
right, but also far or close to the two simulated
microphones. These microphones have a cardioid pick-
up pattern and can be oriented thanks to the
Mic
knob. They can also be moved to get a wider or
narrower stereo effect.
Width
: Change the stereo field width. Turn left to get a
very wide filed, right a smaller. Notice that with a wide
field, there is a noticeable time for the sound to go
from its source to the microphone. It could be
annoying, but can be a good way to add some groove
to your sequences.
Set
: This button opens a menu to put voices in pre-
recorded places. “Random Wide” puts them randomly
within all the available space while “Random Tiny” in
a smaller space, keeping the voices close to each other.
Dyn
:This button opens a menu to select the way
voices will be dynamically moved.
Amount
: this knob sets the amount the voices are
moved dynamically
Speed
: this knob sets the speed of the movement.
