Re: Faster envelopes on Matrix 12/Xpander - Conversation with one of the designers

2008-09-10 by analogholic

Hi PeWe,

My problem is that I´m not a tech by far, but get cool ideas all the 
time...
I got in touch with a tech here in Sweden the other day.

I told him about the "Studio Electronics mod" (which they had on 
their Midimoog/Midimini), where you can sweep the synced Osc with the 
filter envelope ala Prophet 5.

He said, no problem. He´s going to add a switch or two for on/off, 
and a knob for depth.

I´m going to decide if I want to sync both Osc 2 and 3 to Osc 1, or 
just Osc 2.

I can ask him about the Pedal/Modwheel controlling the sync if you 
want.

I sold my Prodigy the other day, where the sync sounds phenomenal.

You know, having Osc 2 synced, while Osc 3 is not, with its natural 
drift, sounds very exciting to me. 

You won´t of course have any LFO then, but that would come from the 
Kenton Pro Solo in that case.

Cheers
