Percussion Synth 2

This Patch is an enhanced version of the Percussion Synth, adding independent
control of oscillator and noise output levels, a selection of filter types for the noise
generator, and a full ADSR amplitude envelope.
Oscillator
Waveform
Triangle, Sine. This selects the waveform for the oscillator.
Pitch
+/-48.0. This sets the tuning of the oscillator, in semitones.
Phase
+/-100. This is the initial phase of the oscillator when triggered by the Phase Reset
controller, as set below. Extreme values (+/-100) will cause an extra click when the
phase is reset, which can be good for enhancing the attack transient.
Phase Reset
List of Modulation Sources. This sets the modulation source for controlling the
phase reset. For a complete list, please see "Modulation Sources" on page 2.
The oscillator is free-running, and does not necessarily reset its phase every time
that the sound is triggered. By setting the Phase Reset to Note Gate, you can make
the phase retrigger on note-on.
If you like, you can also set Phase Reset to None. This will cause the phase to be
essentially random on note-on, so that each note sounds a little different.
Level
0-100. This sets the volume level of the oscillator.
Pitch Modulation
Type
Saw, Square, Triangle, Random, Noise EG, Envelope. This selects the way in
which the pitch is modulated.
Saw, Square, Triangle. The pitch will be modulated by an LFO, with the specified
waveform. The speed and depth of the LFO are set by the Speed and Depth
parameters, below.
Random. The pitch will be modulated by a sample-and-hold LFO, with speed and
depth as set below. The sample-and-hold mechanism uses the main noise
generator, so that the Noise Color parameters will affect the LFO as well. The
Random setting gives especially interesting results with high Speed settings.
