PATCH IDEAS
15 Patch ENV to Y, patch XY to RATE, and use the XY knob to change the
curve of the envelope. Turning XY to the right will make it more exponential.
Turning the knob left will linearise the envelope. Going further will even
make it logarithmic. Combine with the previous patch for more control
of the arpeggios.
16 Patch PULSE to TRIG, patch ENV to FILTER IN, and use higher
settings of the RATE to obtain oscillator sync sound (by loopop).
17 Patch CV to CUTOFF to make the filter track with the pitch sequence
(both CV and CUTOFF are scaled V/OCT).
18 Side-chain pumping: patch a signal with a kick drum (your side chain
signal) to the INPUT. Patch DYNAMICS to Y, XY to ACCENT, and keep
turning the XY knob to the left until it starts ducking the SP2 sound when
the side-chain signal appears.
19 Girl-boss mode: Patch dummy cable into the FILTER IN, set
RESONANCE to the max, and use the filter as a primary sine wave source.
Patch CV to CUTOFF, patch TRI to the filter MOD, and use the MOD
fader to bring in some FM timbres. Bring in some POP modulation for
even more timbral variation and patch ENV to PWM to get an even richer
character out of it. Patch PULSE to INPUT and use the INPUT fader to
fade in the default Softpop sound. Best enjoyed with the SP2 sequencer
triggering shorter envelopes controlling the amplitude.
20 Demon with a flute player behind on zoom call with shit wifi: connect
an amplified microphone to INPUT, split DYNAMICS in the MULTIPLE,
and patch it to RATE, TRIG, and TRANSPOSE. Use the DRONE mode
and play with the pitch. (by Oliver Torr)
21 A capybara and a bird dance together, and also a fly joins for a bit:
Connect contact microphone into the INPUT, split DYNAMICS in the
MULTIPLE, and patch it to CYCLE and CUTOFF MOD. Patch TRI to POP
CV, CV to RATE, and AMP to FILTER IN. Turn off the CYCLE and use
DRONE mode, and they fight (but only for fun). (by Oliver Torr)
22 Turn off the sequencer, set the DRONE/ENV switch to DRONE, and
lower the PITCH MOD fader. Set the envelope to cycle. Patch the XY pot
to the envelope RATE to increase the speed into audio range. Patch the
HOLD output to the external INPUT or into the FILTER MOD and listen
to the complex patterns that emerge as the ENV and PULSE rates both
enter the audio range.
