You're probably getting the general idea by now. Remember not to
change presets or the preset will return to normal. If you want to save
your creation, select the last screen in the Edit menu and select a
destination preset location for your masterpiece, then press Enter.
Practice Modulating
• Try modulating the pitch with the Aux. Envelope generator
• Use velocity to modulate the Aux Envelope Amount or the filter
Fc. (Key/Vel. screen). This will brighten the sound as you play
harder.
• Program the LFO to modulate filter Fc and volume (Realtime
modulation screen).
• Modulate the LFO with the other LFO, with velocity, and with
the modulation wheel.
• Think of ten different modulation routings, then try them out.
The key to learning about Vintage Keys is to experiment.

VINTAGE SYNTHESIS

Vintage Synthesis is actually just a form of additive synthesis. Only,
instead of building a sound from simple sine waves, Vintage Keys
supplies you with complete sampled sounds or complex waveforms
allows you to combine all or part of these together to form a new
sound. The process is illustrated below.

Portions of two sounds are dynamically crossfaded in order to produce a new sound
The envelope generators controlling the DCAs (digitally controlled
amplifiers) can be used to fade between two instruments (primary and
secondary) during the course of a note. This powerful technique
allows you to combine elements of different instruments together to
form completely new sounds.
