Sequential
Other modulation ideas:
• To create the classic “attack pitch blip” effect in many synth brass sounds,
choose a good three-oscillator synth brass sound then route Aux Envelope
1 to osc 2 coarse freq and set Aux Envelope 1 to Attack: 0, Decay: 30,
Sustain: 0, and Release: 0 with an amount of 18.
• Route an LFO to pan to create an auto-panning effect. Panning width is
controlled by the modulation amount. Panning speed is controlled by
the LFO frequency. Add a second mod path to control the LFO speed
with the Mod wheel for a controllable rotating speaker spin-up/spin-
down effect. Add the rotating speaker effect as Effect 1 and set up a
third mod path to control fx1 mix with the Mod wheel for even better
results.
• Route velocity to distortion to overdrive a synth lead sound the harder
you play.
• Tune Oscillator 3 to a perfect 5th (7 semitones) and set its mixer level
to 0. Then create a mod path to control Osc 3 level with the Mod
wheel or Touch slider so you can add it to the mix in live performance.
Finally, add distortion to the sound and you can create a convincing
“guitar-with-controllable-feedback” effect.
Effects
You can add two digital effects to any Pro 3 program. Not all sounds need
effects to make them interesting, but adding a touch of delay or reverb
can add a sense depth, just as adding chorus, anging, or phasing can add
movement. Effects settings are saved individually with each program.
If you enable sync for time-based effects such as the delays, their repeat
rate is synchronized to the Arpeggiator, Sequencer, or MIDI clock for repeats
that occur on the beat.
