110 Combining Samples and Synthesis Dave Smith Instruments
Combining Samples and Synthesis
When you combine sampled instruments with oscillators and other synth
functions you can create instruments of considerable depth and richness.
Here are a few examples.
Blending Real and Synthesized Strings
This example mixes similar sounds for a thicker result.
To select sampled strings:
1. Recall the Basic Program.
2. For the moment, in the Mixer section, turn Oscillator 1 level down to 0.
(We’re going to work with the sampled instrument first.)
3. In the Sample Playback section use the
type
knob to select
strings
and
use the
instrument
knob to select
ensemble
x
short far
.
4. Play a few notes and chords and listen to the instrument’s sound: a
small string ensemble with a vigorously bowed attack.
5. We want the raw, unfiltered sound, so disable the low-pass filter for the
sampled instrument by pressing Soft Button 2 to select the
instr
1
misc
menu tab, then turning Soft Knob 4 to enable
lpf bypass
.
Next, let’s add some synthesized strings to thicken the sound.
To add synth:
1. In the mixer section, turn the level of Oscillator 1 and Oscillator 2 to
50. (Refer to the display to see the values.)
2. Set both oscillators to
super saw
and set
shape mod
for osc 1 to -30 and
osc 2 to 30 to detune and thicken them.
3. With the Mixer parameters shown in the display, press Soft Button 2
to select
panning
, then set
osc
1
pan
to -64L and
osc
2
pan
to 63R for an
ultra-wide stereo spread.
4. In the
oscillators
section, set
slop
1&2 to 15 to add a little analog-
style oscillator drift.
5. In the
filter
section, set
cutoff
to 12,
resonance
to 0, and
drive
to 86.
6. In the
filter envelope
section, set the
env amount
to 80, the
attack
to
11,
decay
to 65,
sustain
to 0, and
release
to 35.
