Re: Re: Keeping your sets interesting
I can't remember how I did it - it was with the instruction manual on
my lap. I'm one of those Luddite electronic musicians who easily gets
frustrated with new technology. I almost gave up my microkorg because
I don't like the concept of digging through menus to change parameters
- especially during live shows. At my last band practice, I wasted 5
minutes trying to find the switch that toggles between from monophonic
and polyphonic.
Instead, I found two or three presets that were close to what I wanted
as a "basic building block". With instruction manual in hand, I turned
off most of the lfos, etc on those sounds and figured out how to save
them as the first 3 presets. They pretty much just go "ooooo" like
sine waves. When I play the instrument, it runs through the same fx
that my drum machine usually does, so the only settings I need to
change on the keyboard are filter sweeps and attack/sustain/release. I
do fuzz/tremelo/etc on external effects.
If I remember correctly, one of the menus on the matrix had a switch
for mod wheel functionality - there were 5 or 6 different options. I
think the band-pass was the default for the preset I was using. I
might be naming it wrong, but it sounds like a super resonant
band-pass filter to me.
