10. Apply vibrato to the voice.
Press KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switch [VCO1] and
press CONTROL knob 8 to display the Pmod Depth
(Pitch Modulation Depth) parameter in the LCD. Turn
the knob to set a value near "+20". This applies the
vibrato effect to the voice when you play.
Next, let's set up the vibrato to be applied by the
[MODULATION] wheel, in order to control the amount
of vibrato as you play. Change the Pmod Depth setting
back to "0".
We'll use one of the 16 sets in the Control Matrix to
assign the VCO1 Pitch Modulation Depth parameter to
the [MODULATION] wheel.
Set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the VOICE SCENE
SETUP menu.
• Press Set No [UP/DOWN] to display "Set 1" in the LCD.
• Press Param [UP/DOWN] to display "VCO1
PmodDp" in the LCD.
• Press Source [UP/DOWN] to display "A.MW" in the LCD.
NOTE You can also assign a Control Change number to the Source, by which to control
the Parameter. In this case the Control Change number must match the setting in
the UTILITY SETUP menu's Control Device and Control Number.
You can control the vibrato by moving the
[MODULATION] wheel. To further define the range of
vibrato control, press Depth [UP/DOWN] to set the
value of about "Dp+20".
There are many other parameters you may
want to adjust to get just the right sound you
want. When you're finished with the editing
process, perform a Voice Store operation to
store your creation. For information, see page
98.
Strings
First let's create the fundamental sound...
1. Select a voice that you don't mind writing
over.
Perform a Type 1 (Normal) Voice Initialize operation.
2. To achieve the sound of multiple players,
we'll use both VCO1 and VCO2 oscillators.
Press KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switch [MIX/VCF],
then press CONTROL knob 2 once to display the
VCO2 Level parameter in the LCD. Turn the knob to set
a value of "127" so that the VCO2 can be heard.
3. Adjust the interval between the oscillators.
Press KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switch [VCO2], then
press CONTROL knob 3 once to display the Fine Tune
parameter. Turn the knob to set a value of about "+7"
to create a slight interval.
4. Soften the attack of the sound.
Press KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switch [VCA], then
press CONTROL knob 1 once to display the Attack
parameter in the LCD. Turn the knob to set a value
near "50" to provide a slight delay between the time
you press the key and the sound starts.
5. Increase the release time of the sound.
Press CONTROL knob 4 once to display the Release
parameter in the LCD. Turn the knob to set a value
near "60" so that the sound lingers for a short time
when you release a key.
Next let's tweak a few parameters to add extra
depth and dimension to the sound...
6. Multiply the string sounds with Unison
Detune.
Press the [LAYER] switch once to select the Unison
mode. ("UNISON" appears accordingly in the right
area of the LCD.) Set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the
VOICE SCENE SETUP menu and press Unison Detune
[UP/DOWN] to set a value of about "12" to increase
the detuning between the Unison notes.
7. Apply the Chorus effect to the sound.
Set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the VOICE COMMON
menu and press Vari EF Dry:Wet [UP/DOWN] to set
the balance between original and Chorus to about
"D<W10". (Chorus 1 is already assigned as the
current Variation Effect.)
