Unit 35 Task 4
Unit 35, Task 4 To demonstrate a combination of patching and sampling skills, I have created a short project featuring both. Synthesis The first patch I created implements frequency modulation. The waveform is asymmetrical which is what lends it its stilted character. Having a high release lets you properly hear everything going on for a sustained period of time after keys are let go of. The combination of the settings come together to produce a sound that 'charges up' when keys are held, followed by a sound of silence that remains until the keys are let go at which point there is a slow burst of energy. I feel that 8 voices was a nice compromise between detailed texture and a light, airy feel. The second patch is monophonic. It has a thick and heavy feeling, partially because it is comprised of 32 voices. There is a moderate amount of glide which allows the legato bass to sound more naturalistic. Cutoff is geared towards the lower end to emphasise bass fr...
