Patch 020 - endless??!!

I just stumbled across something in the manual I hadn't spotted before, and that's the note in Table 3.1 regarding Oscillator 35 in the DWGS section:

So how on earth does that work?! Right enough, play from the lowest C to the highest C on the keyboard I can clearly hear an ascending scale and yet all the Cs have the same pitch. Bizarre....

So yes, the simplest of patches this week, initialize the patch, select the DWGS waveform and scroll to Oscillator 35 and have a play...

Here are the settings (starting from init, shift+3):

Patch 019 - panning arp

A progression from Patch 018.... now the arp spans 3 octaves with LFO 2 modulating the panoramic position. Every synth should have an arpeggiator, so much fun! (I went again with steps 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 on the arp but again, experiment!)

Here are the settings (starting from init, shift+3):

Voice: SYT, SGL, PLY, ---, --- (unchanged)
Pitch: 0, 0, 0, 2, 5 (unchanged)
Osc 1: VOX, 21, 21, ---, ---
Osc 2: SAW, OFF, -12, 0, ---
Mixer: 127, 73, 0, ---, ---
Filter: HPF, 8, 24, 11, 0
Filter EG: 0, 14, 76, 66, ON
Amp: 127, CNT, OFF, 0, ---
Amp EG: 0, 10, 111, 104, ON
LFO 1: S-H, OFF, ON, 1.8, ---
LFO 2: SIN, OFF, OFF, 27, ---

Patch 1: LF1, 1CT, 14, ---, ---
Patch 2: MOD, CUT, 31, ---, ---
Patch 3: LF2, PAN, 63, ---, ---
Patch 4: LF2, CUT, 0, ---, --- (unchanged)

Arpeg. B: ON, 0, ON, 8, ---

Patch 018 - droning chord arp

I will be on holiday for the next few weeks to Edinburgh and then onto the Lake District so I won't be going into too much detail for the next few patches which I am working on before I go.

This is a lovely drone formed from a trigger arp (which basically repeats chords), a vocal oscillator controlled by a tempo synced LFO and a low pass filter. Play with the filter and the modulation amount of the oscillator waveform to get some quite nice and dirty tones.

Here are the settings (starting from init, shift+3):

Voice: SYT, SGL, PLY, ---, --- (unchanged)
Pitch: 0, 0, 0, 2, 5 (unchanged)
Osc 1: VOX, 21, 21, ---, ---
Osc 2: SAW, OFF, -12, 0, ---
Mixer: 127, 73, 0, ---, ---
Filter: 12L, 36, 71, 25, 0
Filter EG: 9, 14, 76, 61, ON
Amp: 111, CNT, ON, 0, ---
Amp EG: 0, 10, 111, 90, ON
LFO 1: S-H, OFF, ON, 1.8, ---
LFO 2: SIN, OFF, OFF, 70, --- (unchanged)

Patch 1: LF1, 1CT, 14, ---, ---
Patch 2: LF2, PTC, 0, ---, --- (unchanged)
Patch 3: LF1, CUT, 0, ---, --- (unchanged)
Patch 4: LF2, CUT, 0, ---, --- (unchanged)
Mod FX: PHS, 8, 39, ---, ---
Delay: STR, OFF, 40, 52, ---
EQ: 320, 0, 6.0, 0, --- (unchanged)
Arpeg. A: 106, 1.16, 80, TRG, 1
Arpeg. B: ON, 0, ON, 8, ---

I set the arp up to trigger on steps 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 with 2 note chords but get experimenting!
