Re: [DSI Synths] DSI sequencer irregularities

2009-10-25 by Stefan Trippler

If it's really the fusion bass preset: this one has pretty long release 
times of all envelopes, but only in sequencer mode.
The envelope release times are pretty short in normal mode to make the sound 
playable by the keyboard, but as soon as the sequencer is switched on, one 
line of the sequencer has a full negative amount on all envelope release 
times via the mod matrix, thus making them much longer than in keyboard 
mode. Maybe you forgot that in the PEK sequence.

I was trying to duplicate a Prophet08 patch  on my PEK,  while i got a 
diffrent but useable sound using the 2 analog oscillators , i tried to 
duplicate the sequence--it seemed that a  single 16 step sequence in 
straight 16ths would be simple-- notes and rests ,  but some how the Prophet 
plays the same sequence  step program  with  a couple  added audible 'grace 
' notes that make it sound wonderfully funkier ,a bit syncopated ,But  the 
PEK is all straight and looses that  funkieness. is there any good 
explaination?  the pattern is the same . the extra notes seem around the 8 
and 16 steps. The  basic sound isnt long or complex. im pretty sure the 
Prophet pattern was a factory program,(fusion bass?) but i may have altered 
it by now.
