240:OTODAMA-East meets west
The V-Synth is a great tool to create ethnic type sounds out of
rather conventional sources like a piano multi sample. Otodama
means the spirit of sound and I felt inspired by the name to use
the piano waveform and see if I can turn it into a different
instrument.
Oscillator one plays the sample in reverse and creates the body
of the new sound.
Try setting the time to -39 and the envelope amount to a value
of 63 to change the character of that OSC into a more brasslike
tone. OSC2 uses another piano wave and provides the attack of
the sound. Time is set to zero to freeze the waveform and the
envelope modifies that so we get a very fast attack followed by
a frozen sustain. Try experimenting with setting time to -63 and
change the envelope shape and amount.
Use the formant to control the amount of overtones in the
sound.
223:Cutting Edge
223:Cutting Edge combines a PCM wave and an analog
waveform for the best of both worlds.
Try to change the waveforms for different results. This patch
uses the dual filter for COSM1 with a release time that is shorter
than the release time of the TVA to produce an audible release
noise like on a harpsichord or clavinet.
It's a simple trick but helps a lot to simulate the sound of a
plucked string.
255:V-ocoder
255:V-ocoder sounds like a sideband filter but it isn't. This
patch uses the ring modulator and LFOs to create a pulsing
sound that has a breathy quality like a drum loop animating a
vocal sample. Change the pitch of OSC2 for some tonal changes.
COSM1 is using the wave shaper to tame the sound of OSC1.
Try different waveforms for the shaper for different results.
009:Phraselab
009:Phraselab uses the attack menu waveform and the
arpeggiator to create wave sequences.
Time of OSC1 is set to zero and is controlled by an S&H LFO to
create periodic changes.
Try different LFO waveforms, rates and offsets for different
results. The attack and sustain menu waveforms are a great
source for giving patches an always changing character as they
provide a different waveform for every key. In their original form
every key is tuned to the same pitch which can get a bit boring.
Activate ROBOT to have the pitch of these waveforms follow the
keyboard. Now you can play melodies that have a different
sound on every note.
