Creating Synth Brass
Sequential
6. In the filter section, set cutoff to 26, resonance to 15, and drive to
100.
7. In the filter envelope section, set the amount to 105, the attack to 17,
decay to 64, sustain to 50, and release to 90.
8. Enable touch sensitivity by pressing and enabling the velocity button.
9. In the auxiliary envelope section, select envelope 1 and set its destina-
tion to osc 2 coarse freq. This routes envelope 1 to modify Osc 2 pitch
according to its ADSR (attack, decay, sustain, release) settings. This
will create the slight pitch variation at the beginning of the sound (the
“pitch blip”).
You can quickly assign the mod destination for Envelope 1 by holding down
the envelope’s selector button and turning the Oscillator 2 frequency knob. This will
auto-assign the modulation destination to the envelope.
10. Set the auxiliary amount to 35 and decay to 20.
11. Play some notes in the upper range of the keyboard. Classic synth
brass!
12. Experiment with different auxiliary envelope amount and decay
settings to ne tune the “pitch blip” effect.
Turning Synth Brass into a Paraphonic String Pad
It’s a simple matter to turn the previous synth brass sound into a string
pad by simply adjusting its envelope and lter settings.
To turn the synth brass into a string pad:
1. Enable Paraphonic mode by pressing the paraphonic button on the front
panel.
1. Turn up the level of Oscillators 1, 2, and 3 to 127.
2. Set all three oscillators to a sawtooth wave. And set their octave to 2.
1. In the filter section, set the cutoff to 800 and resonance to 122.
2. In the filter envelope section, set the env amount to 12.
3. Set lter envelope attack to 59, decay to 75, sustain to 67, and release
to 71.
