A Three-Oscillator Lead Sound - Arturia Minimoog V User Manual

Increase the decay time for the filter envelope («Decay») to a value somewhere
around 400 ms so that the cut-off frequency progressively decays when you press a
key.
You will thus obtain a simple yet efficient bass sound.
You can now save your sound by clicking on the «Save As» situated on the left of the
toolbar. It will be useful as a base template for programming lots of other sounds.
6.1.2 A 3 oscillator lead sound
Keeping the current sound and we will now go a little further and create a rich lead
sound.
It will contain:
• 3 oscillators
• A low pass filter (Filter)
• An output VCA (Output)
• The envelope corresponding to the filter
• The envelope corresponding to the output amp (Loudness contour)
Start by again increasing the «Decay» time for the filter envelope so as to prolong the
fall of the cut-off frequency. (By using a value somewhere around 2000 ms, the
sound will seem more «bright»).
So as to hear the sound from the 2 other oscillators, click on the 3
«Mixer» switches.
Change the range of oscillator 3 with the «range» switch. Set it to 4' for example.
The sound takes another form. Don't hesitate in changing the waveforms of the three
oscillators to hear the different tones that result. You can also change the volume of
these oscillators to create a different balance.
Now change the coarse tone of oscillator 3 to give it another tone. For this, click on
the central knob with the right mouse button and turn it gently to the right until you
reach the value «7 semi tone».
