You will hear a pleasant “beating” or chorus effect in the sound, which makes it broader
and more full, alleviating the unpleasant, dry character (preset 0002 lfo>pick pad).
Another unpleasant aspect is that the sound is too strong in the mid frequency range
and could use some equalization. We’ll use the Body EQ to correct this.
Activate the Body EQ, and experiment with the Lo Mid Hi model (which is the standard
setting). Our favorite setting is when Mid is reduced 0.5 and Mid Frequency is set to 0.37
but this, of course, is a matter of taste…
Now we want to give the pad a little depth by using the Stereo Delay section. Activate
the Stereo Delay, set the Delay Time to 1/4 and adjust the Crossfeed dial to 30%. The pad
now has a pleasant and unobtrusive ambience; you can leave the other Stereo Delay
parameters at their original values (preset 0003 eqfx pad).
Finally, we want to optimize the sound so that it is a little more animated. This is not-
hing too spectacular, so we’ll employ the Jitter modulators for the job. The Jitter modu-
lators are basically LFOs that use a random waveform.
Using the jitter modulators to make the sound become more lively:
1 Activate the display for both of the Jitter modulators by clicking on the Jitter switch
below the LFO.
2 Turn on the first link in Jitter 1 by clicking on the button labeled 1, and choose Object1
Timbre in the target menu.
