The starting point

TemplateALG · KEYMAP · AMP ENV · DSP MOD · PARAMS

Every sound here starts from the same program: 2046 Editor Template. It has one layer, a 2POLE LOWPASS on the ALG, and the panel already wired the way the factory wires it: Slider 1 the filter, Slider 2 its resonance, Sliders 3 and 4 the attack and release, Slider 9 and Button 9 the reverb. It plays a sample, so the first changes make room for oscillators: the Silence keymap, a saw in the ALG's first place and an envelope of your own. Save it on a USER ID at once, and every sound after starts from your copy.

WHAT TO KNOW

WHY SILENCE

An oscillator makes its own sound; the keymap would play a sample on top. 999 Silence leaves the KEY empty, and the oscillators sound alone.

WHY 0.002 AND 0.02 SECONDS

Sliders 3 and 4 multiply the attack and release times. A time of 0 stays 0 whatever it is multiplied by, so the template's shortest times let the sliders work.

OSCILLATORS IGNORE PITCH

An oscillator is tuned on its own page (Saw Pch, PWM Pch). The PITCH row moves the keymap only, so the template's vibrato on PITCH does nothing to a saw.

THE TEMPLATE'S INSERT

Its insert chain, 2219 Orchestral 02, plays a chorus and a short delay, half wet; its EQ, enhancer, phaser and tremolo wait switched out. The sounds here keep it, except the bass.

IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMS

1,388 factory layers make their sound with oscillators; 324 of them play the Silence keymap, the rest an oscillator on top of a keymap's sound.

HOW TO ON YOUR K2700 · 2046 My Sound

Make 2046 Editor Template your start: Silence, a saw, an envelope of your own, the filter on Slider 1 and the hall on.

  1. In Program mode choose 2046 Editor Template (KEYPAD, 2046, ENTER). It plays a piano through a 2POLE LOWPASS.

    Program mode with 2046 My Sound

  2. Press EDIT, then MORE and KEYMAP: Keymap 1 is 1009, Artis Stn f EQT.

    The KEYMAP page of 2046 My Sound, layer 1, the cursor on Keymap (1009)

  3. With the cursor on Keymap 1 type 999 and press ENTER: 999, Silence. Nothing sounds now.

    The KEYMAP page of My Sound, layer 1, the cursor on Keymap (999)

  4. Press ALG: Algorithm 6, two places of two blocks. Move the cursor to the first, F1-F2, empty, and turn the Alpha Wheel to SAW: a saw into the filter.

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

  5. Press AMP ENV and turn Mode to User. Set Att1 to 2 ms and Rel1 to 20 ms: short, and still long enough for Sliders 3 and 4 to stretch.

  6. Press DSP CTL. On the LP Frq row set the value to B 6 1976 Hz.

  7. Press DSP MOD. The LP Frq row's Source 1 is MIDI12, Slider 1: set its Depth to 4800 ct.

    The DSP MOD page of My Sound, layer 1, the cursor on Depth (4800 ct)

  8. Press PARAMS: Filter Freq is on Slider 1. Set its value to 0, so the program loads with the slider at the bottom.

    The PARAMS page of My Sound, the cursor on Filter Freq (0)

  9. Reverb Enable (Button 9) to 127, and Reverb Amount to 42 the same way: the hall is on.

    The PARAMS page of My Sound, the cursor on Reverb Enable (127)

  10. Press SAVE, RENAME it My Sound, and SAVE it on a USER ID: the start of every sound that follows.
