Dave Cuddihy (cuddihyd@cb.cshl.org) : Basic Juno-106 style synth: 6 voice DCO(Square,Ramp,Triangle,Ramp+Triangle)+Noise PWM, EG->DCO. Filter: Cutoff, Resonance, Key-Follow->Cutoff, LFO->Cutoff EG->VCA or VCF but not both(weird, huh?), Polarity. Arpegiator: Up, Down, Up/Down, Hold. Unison mode: Each key triggers all 6 voices simultaneously. (This can be pretty fat, but often too much of a flangey, chorusy sound for my liking) Chorus: 1, 2, or off(I hate the chorus on this!) -- Though it's got its problems, I'm always able to find new sounds on this guy. Good for bassy analog percussion, IMHO. Comments About the Sounds: This keyboard can create some fascinating sounds that I have not heard on anything else. I know it isn't as fat sounding as some of the other vintage analogs, but it can do things they can't (such as do reasonable DX7 bell sound-alikes). It's ability to do realistic brass sound is vastly underated, and it can do a hot lead patch! |
