Summary of Contents for Gotharman Gotharman’s Little deFormer 3

  • Page 1 Gotharman’s Little deFormer Granular Workstation Update Manual 12.96...
  • Page 2 -Parametric EQ insert effects added Page 3 -All sequencer steps on a subtrack can now be offset adjusted with one knob movement Page 6 -Position Rotation Modulation added to the Sequencer note tracks Page 7 -It is now possible to output one Audio BUS to another Audio BUS. Page 8 -A BUS Follower/Envelope OFF position has been added.
  • Page 3 Parametric EQ insert effect A parametric EQ with different characteristics has been added to the insert effects. The parameters: Mix: The output of the EQ is inverted. This means, that when the Mix parameter is set to 256, the EQ is actually subbed from the audio input. Set the Mix parameter to different values, to obtain different EQ effects, or just turn it fully up to 511, to get a normal parametric EQ.
  • Page 4 C/B: Cut/Boost. Setting this to a negative value, will damp frequencies on the input signal. Setting it to a positive value, will boost frequencies on the input signal.
  • Page 5 EQ Modulation Freq1/Freq2: Will modulate the EQ frequency. Q: Will modulate the EQ frequency width. C/B: Will modulate the cut/boost parameter.
  • Page 6 Sequencer Steps Offset Adjust It is now possible to adjust the offset of all steps in a sequencer sub track, from step 1 to the selected last step, by turning one knob. To do this, touch the knob select bars in the bottom of any steps page, to select step editing with knobs.
  • Page 7 Position Rotation Modulation Position Track Rotation has now been added as a modulation destination on the sequencer note tracks. This will do exactly the same, as when adjusting the offset of all steps of the position track, but it is done by a modulation source.
  • Page 8 Output An Audio BUS to another Audio BUS Many LD3 users has let me know, that they often needs to connect the output of an audio bus, to another audio bus, in order to place effects before/after the audio bus follower VCA. This could be done by adding a jack cable from an audio output to an input.
  • Page 9 BUS Follower/Envelope OFF position If you would like to just use the Audio Bus Follower as a modulation source, without it affecting the output level of the Bus itself, this is now possible, by setting the Env to OFF, on the BUS ENV page.
  • Page 10 Insert Effects Input Gain On the Insert Effects Mo2 page, it is now possible to adjust the Insert Effect input gain, using the new Gain parameter:...
  • Page 11 Audio Track BPM When recording an audio track, the BPM of this is now included in the sample name – A058_05_120_AUDTR -Preset number_Track Number_BPM.
  • Page 12 Audio Inputs Swap If you, for some reason, would like to swap the audio inputs, this is now possible. Input 1 and 2 can be swapped, and input 3 and 4 can be swapped, using the “i1<>2” and “i3<>4” parameters on the MOR>COMMON2 page:...
  • Page 13 Quick Edit Knobs Off If you don’t need the default functionality of the Edit Knobs (the parameters, that they are assigned to, when they are not used as modulation sources), it is now possible to switch them off, by using the “Qedit” parameter, on the MOR>COMMON2 page:...
  • Page 14 Bus Sub Pages Naming Some page names on the BUS pages has been changed, to make it look less cryptic (I think).
  • Page 17 Chop Mode parameter LD3 has different modes, for automatically generate non-destructive chop points on a sampling. It can create chop points by peaks, wave cycles or by dividing the sampling into a fixed number of equally sized chops. The parameter on the Sample Chops page, that was named Wave in previous OS versions, was renamed to Mode in V 8.15, but somehow this change didn’t make it to the user manual.
  • Page 18 How to set up (stereo) samplings In this chapter it will be explained, how to set up a sampling for a part, and some extra steps, that is required for setting the filters and VCA/BUS in stereo mode, when setting up a stereo sampling. From the Preset Select page, touch “EDIT”...
  • Page 19 From the Synth main page, touch the box named “OSC”, to enter the oscillator pages.
  • Page 20 Touch the “SEL” touch button, to enter the oscillator mode selection page.
  • Page 21 Set the “Mode” parameter to “Smp”. Now touch the “SMP” touch button, to enter the sample selection page.
  • Page 22 Here you can select up to 4 samplings for the part. The number of these samplings, that are used, is set by the #Smp parameter on the SEL page. The 4 samples can be selected to play back, setting the Chop parameter, and by chop select modulation. For now, just touch the sample name, that starts with “1:”, to open the sample select page for the first sampling.
  • Page 23 On each page you will view 16 of the samplings, that are held in the LD3 FLASH memory, Bank A, B, C or D. Touch A, B, C and D to select the sample bank, touch PREV and NEXT to view the previous or next 16 samplings.
  • Page 24 Extra steps required, for setting up a stereo sampling The extra steps required for setting up a stereo sampling are: -Set up the VCA to output to 2 audio busses. -Set up these audio busses to output to left and right. -Set the filters in stereo mode.
  • Page 25 Set the “Bus” parameter, so that the VCA will output to 2 busses – “1+2”, “3+4”, “5+6” or “7+8”. Now touch the “MOD” touch button.
  • Page 26 Make sure that “Pan” is set to “Man”, and pan “Amt” to “256”. Exit the VCA pages, to go back to the Synth main page.
  • Page 27 Touch the box named “BUS”, to enter the audio bus pages.
  • Page 28 On this first Bus page, set the audio busses, that the VCA is outputting to, to respectively L and R, like Bus 5 and 6 on the picture. Exit from this page, to the Synth main page.
  • Page 29 Touch the box named “FLT”, to enter the digital filter pages.
  • Page 30 Touch the “SET” touch button.
  • Page 31 On this page, set the “Stereo” parameter to “On”. It does not matter, if the digital filters are used or not, this routing has to be set to stereo, in order to get both audio channels of a stereo sampling through. Now when you trigger the selected stereo sampling, it should play back in stereo!
