Summary of Contents for CL-Projects Blue Orb Trilogy
- Page 2 ‘Blue Orb Series’. Introduction The Blue Orb Trilogy contains the three Kontakt 5 instruments from the 'Blue Orb Series’, the Blue Orb Trilogy Bass Synthesizer, the Triode Lead Synthesizer and the Neutron Pad Synthesizer. These synthesizers have a dual oscillator architecture with multiple envelopes, LFO's and effects. The sounds of these instruments are highly inspirational and are therefore very suitable to translate your musical ideas into complete tracks.

Page 4: Controls Page
Controls Page Oscillator Amp This section contains the Amplifier parameters of the 2 oscillators. At the top left corner of every oscillator section, there’s a switch that lets you switch the oscillator on or off (Mute). At the top right corner of the oscillator section, you will find 2 switches ‘A’... -
Page 5: Pitch Envelope
Oscillator Pitch This contains the Pitch parameters of the oscillators. To be able to edit the pitch parameters of the oscillators, be sure that the ‘P’ switch at the top right corner is turned on (lights up). Pitch Envelope A pitch envelope will affect the tuning of the sound. With a moderate amount setting and fast segment times, a pitch envelope can enhance the attack and/or add an organic quality to a sound. - Page 6 Waveform Display This display shows the oscillator waveform that was selected from the waveform menu. There are 30 different waveforms per oscillator to choose from (See below). TIP: Click in the middle of the waveform display to open the waveform menu. The available oscillator waveforms for the synthesizers are: NEUTRON Oscillator 1 01.
- Page 7 The synthesizers have a switchable filter type, but even then it will be the low-pass filter which gets most use. The filter section of most synthesizers can be modulated by envelopes, LFOs, the keyboard, or other controls such as the modulation wheel. The Blue Orb Trilogy synthesizers have this possibility.
- Page 8 Filter Envelope ATK (Attack): Sets the attack time of the filter envelope. Sets the time taken to reach peak amplitude after a note is played. DEC (Decay): Sets the decay time of the filter envelope. Sets the time taken for the amplitude ...
- Page 9 The available filters are: LOW PASS FILTER: This is a filter that passes low frequency signals and attenuates signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. HI PASS FILTER: Is a Filter that passes high-frequency signals but attenuates signals with ...
- Page 10 Time Sets the glide time between notes when portamento is on. When REL is switched on, the glide time will increase with the note interval, otherwise the glide time will stay constant regardless of the interval. The TIME knob is only accessible when the MODE setting is set to ON or AUTO. The TIME knob will be reset to 0 when the MODE setting is set to OFF.

Page 11: Digital Reverb
RATE Sets the speed (rate) of the LFO's output signal in Hz. The rate is synced by MIDI clock. DELAY If greater than 0, the LFO will not start the waveform right away when a note is received, but rather smoothly ramp it up over time. -
Page 12: Digital Delay
TYPE Reverb Type Display: When powered on, you can set the desired reverb effect here. There are 10 different reverb types to choose from. TIP: Point the mouse pointer to the middle of the Reverb TYPE display and drag up or down to change the setting. - Page 13 FEEDB Feedback: Sends a portion of the output back into the input of the delay line, which creates repeating echoes. A value of 0 produces one echo, higher values give multiple echoes. LEVEL Sets the effect mix going to the main output. Turning the knob completely counterclockwise, turns the effect off.
- Page 14 FLANGER The Flanger effect works in much the same way as the Chorus effect, but it uses a significantly shorter delay time. In additi on, the effect signal can be fed back into the input of the delay line. Flanging is typically used to create changes that are described as adding a spacey or underwater quality to...
- Page 15 range. Sonically, phasing is used to create whooshing, sweeping sounds that wander through the frequency spectrum. It is a commonly used guitar effect, but it is suitable for a range of signals. DEPTH Determines the amount of LFO modulation. Higher values make the phaser effect stranger. SPEED Sets the speed of the LFO modulating the signal.

Page 16: Band Equalizer
DCAY Decay: Determines how long it takes for the compression action to stop after the input signal falls below the threshold level. LEVEL Sets the module’s output level. Turning the knob completely counterclockwise, turns the effect off. 2-BAND EQUALIZER Kontakt’s fully parametric peak equalizers allow for a wide range of tonal alterations and corrections. Using up to three EQ bands per module, you can boost or cut any frequency range throughout the entire spectrum by up to 18 dB, with an adjustable... - Page 17 BASS Sets the low frequency gain. BRGHT Bright: Sets the high frequency gain. Clean (Wet): Sets the ratio between clean and distorted tone. At the maximum setting, only the wet signal will be heard LEVEL Sets the module’s output level. Turning the knob completely counterclockwise, turns the effect off. ARPEGGIATOR An arpeggiator is often a built in device in synthesizers, it will listen to the keys you play (chords).
- Page 18 PITCH OCTV Octave: Sets the octave displacement, i.e. the distribution of the arpeggio pattern in various octaves. The arpeggio pattern cycles from the played octave to the octave set upwards. STRK Strike: Sets the number of strikes of each note of the note buffer. When STRK is set to any other value other than 1, each note of the note buffer will be repeated by the amount specified with STRK.
- Page 19 RATE RATE Display: This display shows the RATE setting that was selected in the RATE Menu. This dropdown menu is only accessible when the arpeggiator is switched on. The RATE menu sets the rate of the arpeggiator. The available RATE settings are: 01.
