Filter Sweeps for Dummies?

Filter Sweeps for Dummies?

2003-10-30 by earthsmoke2002

Greetings,
I simply want to take the sweep sound of the preset "A Trip", and 
apply it to some other patches.  I've tried many times, and have 
tried to copy settings from one to another.  Can someone help me in 
a few simple instructions?  Not having MidiQuest support sucks, btw, 
but you can request it here:

Thanks to all,

A Tutorial:

Basic process:  (1) deconstruct  (2)  reconstruct

Variation of process:
(1) Isolate desied effect
(2) Tweak it in lotsa combinations to understand it
(3) Create your own reconstituted preset

Concrete Steps to Teach Yourself How to Do It
(note: I used arp:A Trip mono on XLead ROM in audition mode)

1.  Set Instruments for L2, L3, L4 to none
2.  Change L1 Instrument to nse:White Noise
    [or another one just to hear what's going on]
3.  Change riff to Key-C3
4.  Change L1 LFO2 Rate [this should be an aha moment]
5.  Find Patchcord where LFO2+/- --> Filter Freq [ditto]
6.  TRY changing L1 Filter Q value
7.  TRY changing Filter Type [e.g., try BlissBatz]
8.  TRY different Instruments [e.g., try scr: instruments]
9.  TRY different arps [e.g, try SPUN]
10. When you have a layer you like, copy it->L2,L3,L4 and make changes
11. Try different layers with different sweeps
12. Try different instruments

Have fun.
Save new presets you like along the way.
 
Hope this helps.
Dr. Steve

PS:  Thanks for asking the question.  I came up with some neat ideas 
for presets.  I like the beats potential of sweep/phased kits. 

==============================================
It is beter to teach someone HOW to do something than to simply tell 
him or her what to do.

helped tremendously!
