VZ Programming: Long-form Patches

2009-10-23 by steve_the_composer

Thanks, Cliff. I will take a listen to those. After my post, I played around some more with one of my old patches that I had tweaked recently. Not having created new sounds for the VZ in decades, it was like re-teaching my self the voice architechture.

I "discovered" that envelopes do not have to end at zero. (I probably knew that years ago.) This is useful for creating an infinite sustain.

I have also started to get some effects by having slow rising envelopes as modulators (via internal and external phase).

Perhaps when I get a few, I will uploaded a bank-in-progress in the files board.  Again, thanks for your reply on this thread--which I have renamed VZ programming: long-form patches.

For this I used mod wheel 1 and inside of it the A ENV BIAS should be turned ON. The single patch in normal mode to work for the op mem, example MENU1, VALUE 14 of AMP SENS, and SENSITIVITY=7 for M1 or modual-1 for that particular mod wheel tweeking.

Play any keys without taking ur fingers off or sort of glide through the keys and you'll notice that sweeping effect. (without the use of a mod wheel) Anyway study them and see what you can incorperate them with. Hope i've answered all your questions.........
