5 Set the additional control that appears (as shown), to control the character of the
sound with velocity:
6 Repeat this with the other parameters of Oscillator 2, as well as pitch:
7 Within the noise generator, you’ll be working with negative modulation (the position of
the marking is below that of the base parameter value), and will modulate one
parameter directly (Max setting in the Cut Mod menu), and another indirectly (the LFO
2 setting in the Dirt Mod menu):
Our sound is now nothing like an 808 snare—and that’s exactly what we wanted to
achieve. Keep experimenting with velocity and figure out when it makes sense to use it
as a direct or indirect modulation source, in either its positive or negative form.
Note: The dynamic 808 snare drum described above is called “Snare 4 - vel” in the
tutorial set, at a pitch of G1.
