7 To give the pad a little depth, activate the Delay. Set the Delay Time to 1/4 and adjust
the Xfeed knob to 30%. The pad now has a pleasant and unobtrusive ambience; you can
leave the other Delay parameters at their original values.
Finally, you will want to optimize the sound so that it is a little more animated. The end
result you should be aiming for is subtle, which makes the jitter modulators the perfect
tool for the job. The jitter modulators are basically LFOs that use a random waveform.
To make the sound more lively using the jitter modulators
1 Click the Jitter button below the LFO section to activate the display for both of the jitter
modulators.
2 Click the 1 button to turn on the first link in Jitter 1, and choose Object1 Timbre from the
Target pop-up menu.
3 Drag the slider below the Target pop-up menu to −0.40 to adjust the Intensity, and reduce
the Rate parameter to 1 Hz. There should be subtle inconsistencies in the pressure applied
by the bow to the string. To better recognize this effect, temporarily increase the Intensity
level.
You can use the second jitter modulator for random position deviations with the
modulation target Pickup Pos A+B (pickup position A and B).
4 Activate Jitter 2 and choose the Pickup Pos A+B setting from the Target pop-up menu.
