Your
JPS
Harmonic
Synthesizer
is
actually
two svnthesizers
in
one
unit.
\{e
feel that
more
musical excitement
is
created
when
two
things are
happening
at
once.
This
is
what you
paid
for
when
you bought
the instrument,
and now,
you
should
take
fu1l
advantage
of its
potential.
Here's
how:
Vhenever
possible,
use
both
oscillators at
the
same
time.
When
you
reach
for
osc 1
or
osc
2
to
set
up
a
sound,
think to
yourself:
"Vhat
differences are there
between
the
two
voices,
and ho{r can
T
use these
differences
to
my
advantage?"
Remember,
Osc
1
can
use
the Voltage-Controlled
Dynarnic
Filter
with
mod
wheel
pedal control
while
Osc
2
remains
static,
thus
sounds
that
require
filter
can
go
to
the
Osc 1
voice.
osc
2
can
be tuned
differently.
When
you have
set
sounds
in
both 0sci11ators,
their
relatio[ships
wilt falI
into
two
categories:
"Doubling"
or
"Contrasting".
Doubling
-
Creating
the
same
sound
or
instnaent
in
both
oscillators.
Bichness
of
sound
is
enhanced by
subtleties
in
differences
of
"attack"
and "re1ease"
parameters, "beats"
or
"phasing"
caused
by
slight
differences
in
tuni[g
between
oscillators.
Contrasting
-
Creating
different
instmments
in
two
Oscillators.
Interesting
muaic
is full of
contrasts
in
many
forms.
The
successful synthesist
will
be
fully
aware
of
a1f
areas
in
which he
or
she can create
contrasts.
Of course, the
trick ls
to
apply
these
contrasts
to
the
music
being
performed.
