14 Ed!son –Instrument Editor
1.2 Ed!son for advanced users
At the risk of telling you, as a power user, things that you already know about the
capabilities of the WAMI BOX and Ed!son team: In principle, the MIDI audio
signal generation of the EWS synthesizer corresponds to that of a sampler with
subtractive voice architecture. The wave files loaded in the sample RAM serve
as audio sources that can be played polyphonically via MIDI. A resonant low-
pass filter, a VCA and a comprehensive modulation section with several envelope
generators and LFOs are available for each individual voice. The velocity and
keyboard position (keyboard table) are additional sources of modulation. The edge
steepness of the filter can be toggled between 12 dB/octave and 24 dB/octave.
All this and more can be set and controlled using Ed!son.
Ed!son is not only used for the audio parameters, but also for the management of
soundsets. In addition to "normal" wave files, Ed!son also imports files containing
sample loop settings. Ed!son Wave or other suitable sample editors such as
WaveLab 2.0 or Sound Forge 4.0 can be used to create wave files with sample
loops. Needless to say, multi-samples can also be created with Ed!son. This is an
important feature for the construction of drum kits or for achieving maximum
authenticity in instrument sounds (such as pianos or choruses). The multi-edit
mode implemented in Ed!son permits parallel editing of several individual samples
or keyboard zones.
Finally, you can position the MIDI instrument voices created with Ed!son on the
stereo outputs of your EWS as described in "The Wavetable & MIDI Handbook".
As you can see, Ed!son and the WAMI BOX deliver everything that you can
expect from a good sampler.
