2:4 Amp section
Strobe’s amp section can be overloaded like that of a real analogue synth VCA (voltage-controlled
amplifier). There is a waveshaping stage between the
Amp and final Level controls, which is capable
of distortion when its components are driven hard.
If you want a cleaner sound, keep the Amp control at low settings and increase the Level.
If you want to overload the amp by increasing the Amp parameter, remember to turn down the Level
control. Otherwise, the output of Strobe may clip.
Amp
The
Amp
parameter is directly modulated by the Amp Envelope. Its value represents the amplitude at
the maximum value of the AmpEnv (at the end of its attack stage).
In order to achieve velocity-sensitivity for amplitude, modulate the Amp parameter with the OnVel+
source (found in TransMod slot 1 in all DCAM: Synth Squad presets).
Pan
The Pan parameter sets the position of the voice in the stereo field.
Try modulating this control with the TransMod system, using a Voice modulation source – this leads to a rich stereo spread
of the voices when playing chords.
Level
This parameter sets the final Level of the voice before it is summed with all other active voices.
Analogue
The Analogue parameter simulates the effect of noise and mains hum in certain parts of the audio and control signal
paths, something that always occurs in real analogue synth circuits. At lower settings, it leads to a subtly gritty and slurring
character, while higher settings create a more unstable and noisy sound.
2:5 Other functions
Built-in Arpeggiator
The arpeggiator is common to both Strobe and Cypher. See section 6:1
for details on using the arpeggiator.
Settings, Glide and Keying controls
These parameters are common to all synths, and are covered in sections 6:2, 6:3 and 6:4.
Visualizer Scope
The visualizer scope provides context-sensitive graphical
feedback for each section of Strobe. See section 6:6 for
more details on this feature.
