A pluck

PluckALG · AMP ENV · ENV2 · DSP MOD · FX

A pluck dies away by itself: no sustain, a filter that snaps shut, and an echo to fill the space between the notes. It is the sound for fast arpeggios and sequences: each note short, clear and in time.

Computed in your browser with KINSPIRATION's engine, sample by sample, from each step's whole program: its oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs and effects. It is close to the K2700, not the K2700 itself.

WHAT TO KNOW

NO SUSTAIN

Dec1 to 0 %: the note fades while the key is held. The release only matters for notes let go early.

THE ECHO AT THE TEMPO

Basic Delay 1/8 follows the tempo: at 120 BPM an eighth is 0.25 s, the space of two sixteenths.

IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMS

339 oscillator layers decay to 0 % while held: the plucks, basses and percussion. Their Dec1:

HOW TO ON YOUR K2700 · your start

Build the pluck on your start: a pulse, no sustain, a filter that snaps shut, brighter up high, an echo.

  1. In Program mode choose your start, saved at the end of lesson 1 (My Sound, on its USER ID).

    Program mode with My Pluck

  2. Press EDIT, then ALG (Algorithm 6): the cursor on F1-F2, and the Alpha Wheel from SAW to PWM.

    The ALG page of My Pluck, layer 1, the cursor on Algorithm (6)

  3. DSP CTL: PWM Wid 30, its Pad 0 dB.

    The DSP CTL page of My Pluck, layer 1, the cursor on PWM Wid (30)

  4. Press AMP ENV: Dec1 0.5 s to 0 %, Rel1 0.3 s.

    The AMP ENV page of My Pluck, layer 1, the cursor on Decay1's time (0.500)

  5. Press ENV2: Att1 2 ms, Dec1 0.22 s to 0 %.

  6. DSP CTL: LP Frq D 4 294 Hz.

    The DSP CTL page of My Pluck, layer 1, the cursor on LP Frq (D 4 294 Hz)

  7. DSP MOD: the LP Frq row's Source 2 ENV2, Depth Ctl AttVel, from 2400 ct to 5400 ct.

    The DSP MOD page of My Pluck, layer 1, the cursor on Depth Ctl (AttVel)

  8. DSP CTL: LP Frq's KeyTrk 50 ct/key.

    The DSP CTL page of My Pluck, layer 1, the cursor on KeyTrk (50 ct/key)

  9. Press FX: Aux 2's chain 25, Basic Delay 1/8, Send 2 at 25%.

    The FX page of My Pluck, the cursor on Aux 2 (25)

  10. Press SAVE, RENAME it, and SAVE it on a USER ID of its own.
