MOTM

Finally refined my MOTM flute patch and it now uses Breath Control for 
expression, loudness, brightness, tremelo, flutter tongue (a little messy but 
it's something).  Part of the flute patch also does a nice Renaissance 
recorder.  Two knobs control how much recorder gets mixed with the flute.  
Following are some short snippets, about 400K and 1300K respectively.  MOTM 
one right hand of split keyboard, Rompler on left hand.

The weekends are always really slow message posting days.

First I need to synthesize Oboe, Bassoon, Bass/Tenor Recorders and start 
multitracking all these sounds to see how a whole group of them playing at 
once sounds.

don't know if everyone was out enjoying their weekends, emailing eldhart 
directly, reading/posting "MOTM vs Doepfer", or what, but since it seems like 
eldhart got such a quiet list response...

The flute/recorder patches sound great. Excellant synthesis. Really really 
impressive. The same goes for the brass patches Paul put on the site. 

Im stuck using a ROMpler often for flute sounds live and in recording. 
Getting a good flute sound is a priority for me from my MOTM (its the only 
imitative sound I "need,' however I need it to be less European classical 
music and more Cuban) and your patches are inspiring. Dont have a 410 yet--Im 
trying to solve immediate casing needs first--but your patches almost make me 
order one right away so I can try to copy some of what you did. (patience is 
winning this time, but for how long can I hold out?????)

The patch sheets are a great idea as well.

Thanks for sharing your sounds and ideas!

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.

>>I am quite simply beaten with amazement.  I had no idea this was possible. 
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.
