Release Click
Start with
512:INIT PATCH
and go
straight to the
TVA
section .
Change
Release
time to
33
(you will find out
why very shortly). Now go to the
OSC1
/
OSC Type
page .
Set
PCM-type
and select wave
151
“
Clav Lo
” .

Touch the
COSM1
pad, select
TVF
and
touch the
Cutoff
tab. Take
Freq
down to
100
and set the envelope
parameters as follows:
A
= 45,
D
= 127,
S
= 0,
R
= 25
(shorter than in the
main
TVA
) and
Env Depth
= -46
.
To accentuate the effect, touch the
Resonance
tab and take
Reso
up to
about
80
. Go back to the
Cutoff
page
and play the keyboard.

OK, this sound is not particularly spectacular at this primitive stage, but it demonstrates the only way (in most synthesizers) of getting a
noticeable and rapid change in timbre when you release notes - setting a negative envelope depth.

Getting More out of a Sample
One of the major selling-points of the
V-Synth
is its
Variphrase features
, so you are surely aware of all that Variphrase has to offer.
However, you may not realize all the implications this has in terms of flexibility i.e. just how far you can go with a “raw” waveform.
Patch
206:FragileVoice
is a good case in point. To find out how this sound was made, touch
OSC1
and check which Waveform was used
to create something like a cross between a voice and an ethnic violin: “
Power-B fast
” is actually a nasal organ-type sample with a fast
rotary effect. Let’s find out how simple it see the potential of waveforms. Instead of defeating all the parameters in turn, go to
512:INIT
PATCH
and set
OSC1
/
OSC Type
/
PCM
/
Waveform
to
168
“
Power-B fast
”. Now turn the
Time
knob down...
