Combining Samples and Synthesis
7. Enable lter touch sensitivity by pressing and enabling the velocity
button.
8. In the amp envelope section, set the env amount to 127, the attack to 0,
decay to 95, sustain to 0, and release to 35.
9. Enable volume touch sensitivity by pressing and enabling the velocity
button.
10. Play a few notes and chords and listen to the instrument’s sound: a
thicker string ensemble with the vigorous attack of the sampled instru-
ment intact
11. Now set the pitch of oscillator 1 and oscillator 2 to C3 and play a few
chords. The ensemble sounds even bigger because the synth part is an
octave higher.
To add effects:
1. In the effects section, press the effect 1 button.
2. Turn the effect type knob and select super plate.
3. Set mix to 45, then set parameter 1 (time) to 112, parameter 2 (tone) to
118, and parameter 3 (predelay) to 21.
4. Play some chords: a nice punchy string section.
Blending Contrasting Sounds
Now lets modify the previous sound by keeping the synth sound, but
changing the sampled instrument to something that contrasts more with
the synth part.
To change the instrument again:
1. In the Sample Playback section use the type knob to select guitar and
use the instrument knob to select ukelele long finger.
2. Play a few notes and chords and listen: it’s completely different instru-
ment now.
3. In the Filter section turn resonance up to 116.
4. Play a few notes and chords: very different again.
