Patch: Making Notes

Making Notes (Basic)

Patch a sound source into the

Audio In A

jack, and patch the

Audio Out A

jack to your mixer or amp

so you can hear it on speakers or headphones. When choosing the sound source, try to find something

that makes a continuous tone or drone, such as a VCO like the

Ensemble Oscillator

When the left

Cycle

button is on (button is shining orange), you should hear notes being played at a

steady tempo. The notes should have a sharp attack (quick fade-in) and longer decay (slower fade-

out).

Try moving the

Rise

slider up and listen to how the sound fades in more slowly. Then move the

Fall

slider down and hear how the fade-out gets faster. Continue to experiment with the slider positions,

listening to how the sound and tempo change. Try flipping the switches to

Fast

and hear how much

faster the envelope gets.

Adjusting the

Shape

slider to exponential will cause the rise and fall to sound more snappy while

setting the slider to logarithmic will cause the envelope to sound more like a gate, with very quick rises

and falls. Notice how adjusting the

Shape

slider does not affect the cycle tempo.

Next, patch the

ENV

output jack to a modulation input on the sound source. For example, if you’re

using the

Ensemble Oscillator

, try patching it to the

Warp

jack. For other VCOs, try a PWM or wave-

shaper input. Adjust the

Level

and

Offset

knobs to control the amount of modulation. When both knobs

are centered, you should hear no modulation.

Tip: If you want to use the

Shape

slider to control the waveshape of the modulation without changing

the VCA, patch

Lin 5V

VCA CV

in order to bypass the internal connection between the shaped

envelope and the VCA.

Making Notes in Stereo

So far we’ve just used Channel A, but this patch can be duplicated on Channel B to process two sound

sources or a single stereo sound source.Try doing this now, by patching the second output of the

Ensemble Oscillator

or some other sound source into the

Audio In B

jack. If you don’t have another
