MOTM

inspiring.<<

Thanks for the compliments.  I noticed when patching up the flute patch that 
if I cranked up the oscillator FM knob that causes more breath from the BC3 
to change the pitch, that I started to get a more primitive flute sound, 
possibly more along the lines of some South American Andean type instrument.  
And I'm sure there are probably a bunch of other things that could be 
modified.

What's next, anybody got a good accordian patch HA! Seriously though it would 
be great to hear some guitar and drums samples too. I am working on drums but 
I would love to hear everybodies impressions and versions of MOTM 
percussion.<<

Again thanks for the comments.  Guitars are probably better done on a 
polyphonic and I'm going to be doing more of that on the Nord Modular.  If 
played through a distortion unit, the polyphonic notes affect the sound in a 
way that doesn't happen when just playing one note at a time.  And percussion 
was also something I was considering doing on the Nord Mod but might do some 
on the MOTM.  But I will probably stick to the cymbals I did on my JP-8080 
because they require the full resources of a polyphonic synth.  Link below 
for sound snippet which shows a milder cymbal strike patch (kind of like ride 
cymbal) followed at the end by a huge cymbal crash patch.

All it does is sense breath pressure.  Although if you also make a vocal 
sound with your throat it sounds different for some reason.  If you want to 
get more elaborate then that, then you will probably want to hook up foot 
pedals or something else to further control and alter the sound.  I wish the 
BC3 could sense reverse breath so if you sucked in you could use that to do 
something different or output negative values.
