Sound Designers’ Comment

008:Voco Bass

V-Synth analog oscillators may be considered as the Sound

designer’s “Swiss Army Knife”.

By offering sine, square and triangular waveforms, these

oscillators instantly provide the characteristic sound of the

“traditional” synthesizer back at the time where everything was

analog. These oscillators are best described as primitive and

static, but very powerful: the basic sound they offer literally

jumps straight onto listener’s face! By slowing the time down to

zero, Variphrase is able to turn any PCM sample into a static

sound whose potential power is comparable to the one offered

by those analog waveforms. Start from an initialized patch,

choose a PCM oscillator, enable both Variphrase and Robot

functions then make sure Time Offset parameter is set to Zero:

the Frozen World then welcomes you!

Voco Bass has been designed while experimenting such static

waves and browsing through various “frozen” PCM samples. This

patch makes use of the “

Make A Groove

” waveform, frozen

right behind waveform’s start point. To preview the resulting

sound, from the Front Panel, switch all effects off, mute OSC2,

disable COSM1 and hit a key. The static waveform you now hear

quickly becomes annoying if left as it is. The programmer bought

this patch into life by assigning the Formant parameter to the

keyboard velocity (see

OSC1/Formant

page). Furthermore,

bright hi-frequency sonic components were filtered out by using

a Dynamic time variant filter (please now enable

COSM1

) and a

sub-oscillator has been added by means of our Swiss Army Knife

emulating a sine waveform (now enable

OSC2

). This sub adds

an extra-bass character to the sound. At last, effects have been

use to polish the patch and give its final shape thanks to the

Analog Phasing effect (now enable

MFX

and

Chorus

)

Additional playability is offered by means of the Time-Trip pad

(the X/Y mode alters both formant and filter

COSM1

cutoff

frequency) and Aftertouch (increases

COSM1

cutoff frequency).

018:Pulsatronic

Pulsatronic perfectly illustrates different key-features inside a

single powerful patch. First, the arpeggiator, which here turns a

simple key-stroke into a rich up-and-down pattern. Settings can

be customized from the

Common/Arpeggio

page where one

may chose a shorter

Duration

for example. Then, the

combination of both VariPhrase and analog oscillators, achieving

a pleasant tonal balance. In this patch, the VariPhrase oscillator

is used to produce some crisp digital sounds, while its analog

counterpart adds more body to the patch. Then, the innovative

Side-Band Filter which brings the noise bursts produced by the

first Oscillator into tune. This filter is mainly responsible for the

particular tonal character of this patch. Its effect can easily be

heard by toggling the

COSM1

structure switch ON or OFF.

Furthermore, this patch also illustrates the flexibility of the

analog section, which allows the user to gradually change the

tonal characteristic of the sound while waving his hand around

the D-Beam.

110:Sidewalk

The Side Band Filter represents one of V-Synth unique features.

This filter shapes noise-like spectrums into musical waveforms by

removing all non-harmonic frequencies found in the original

source. Its effect is best heard through the preset patch called

[

111:SBSync’d

]. In this preset, a motor noise has been used as

main oscillator source. This motor can be heard by turning the

COSM1/P1 knob all the way up. By slowly decreasing the same

parameter, the noise-like content of the original waveform will

gradually dissapear until only harmonic frequencies remain. Once

all non-harmonic frequencies are gone, the resulting sound can

be played through the whole keyboard like any other musical

instrument.

The distinctive sound of [

110:Sidewalk

] has been achieved by

this same particular filter and the

COSM1/P1

knob can be used

once again to increase or decrease the non-harmonic content of

the filter’s output. In order to discover which sample has been

used to create the rhythmic feel hidden behind the patch, grab

the

COSM1/P1

potentiometer and put all non-harmonic

frequencies back into the sound! Aren’t you surprised of what

you now hear?
