Using the step modulator
Tips for using the step
modulator and the effects
|
By using the step modulator in conjunction with the various
effects, you can create a variety of interesting results.
Applying complex changes to the effect
parameters
By using the step modulator to control effect parameters, you
can create results that would be impossible by manually
moving the knobs or by using the LFO (an oscillator that
|
creates cyclic change).
Smooth changes or abrupt changes can be adjusted visually,
using the sliders. It is particularly effective to adjust the steps
to the timing intervals at which the rhythm or the
instruments are heard. By using this together with the
|
SMOOTH function, you can even produce continuous
|
changes.
|
Example parameters: CUTOFF (FILTER), DEPTH
|
(FLANGER, PHASER), PITCH (PITCH+DLY), LEVEL
(SLICER+PAN), FREQUENCY (RING MOD),
|
FORMANT(VOICE), etc.
Applying an effect at a specific timing
By using the step modulator to control EFFECT BALANCE,
|
you can apply the effect at a specific timing.
|
For example by changing this parameter to the DIRECT
setting (lowering the slider) at the timing of the bass drum
(beginning of the beats), you can make the rhythm stand out
while still applying the effect to the overall sound.
Example parameters: EFFECT BALANCE (АЛ Effects)
Creating a phrase
By using the step modulator to control PITCH, you can
compose a melody of up to sixteen steps.
You can use RUN MODE, DIRECTION, and END STEP
settings to modify the phrase, and use GATE TIME, SLIDE/
REST, and VELOCITY settings to create staccato, rests, and
adjust the loudness of the sound.
By using this together with the System settings KEY and
SCALE, you can even create musical expressions.
Adjustments will be easier to make if you reduce the SLIDER
RANGE.
You can also expand your system by using an external sound
module.
Parameter examples: NOTE (VO MOD, SYN+DLY, SYN
BASS, SYN RHYTHM)
