Set an Attack time value of -4 by clicking the Knob labelled A and dragging the mouse downwards.
Also notice how even such a small change can drastically influence the feel of the sound. The
V l F is important to how our sound responds to the hardness we play the notes
el to eVel aDer
with (velocity): right now we see it have a value of 1. This means that the peak amplitude of
the oscillators, as determined by the envelope, responds linearly to the velocity. Playing the
MIDI keys softly yields a different sound than hitting the keys hard. See the Control Reference
section for more information on this.
Next we want to find out how the chorus-type effect is created and how we can change its
timing. As we play the note we notice that the movement of the horizontal fader labelled
Mc3 on the top part of the screen coincides with the effect. Mc3 is one of the three macro
controllers that can be assigned to modulate a number of parameters within SPARK by the
menus and sliders to the right of the macro controllers. Note that you need to hit the MIDI
keys with a certain velocity to hear the chorus-type effect.
The Mc3 F ' settings are currently being modulated by an LFO.
aDer S
The lit LED left of the controller Mc3 indicates that the LFO, which is controlled by the knobs
in the top left part of the screen, is currently modulating this parameter. We can change the
lFo r to make the effect happen more frequently, or increase the lFo a
ate
the effect stronger.
