Ensemble strings

StringsDSP MOD · ALG · DSP CTL · AMP ENV · FX

Synth strings are many players made of few: a pulse whose width keeps moving, a second layer a few cents away, a soft attack and release, and a chorus that spreads them into an ensemble.

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

PULSE WIDTH MODULATION

An LFO on PWM Wid makes the pulse's tone sway: two layers at two LFO rates never sway together.

THE CHORUS IN THE INSERT

Chorusier is a dual chorus in the insert: all the sound goes through it, half wet.

HOW TO ON YOUR K2700 · your start

Build the strings on your start: a moving pulse, a second player, a softer tone, a bowed envelope and a chorus.

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

    Program mode with My Strings

  2. Press EDIT, then ALG (Algorithm 6): the cursor on F1-F2, and the Alpha Wheel from SAW to PWM; on DSP CTL its Pad to 0 dB.

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

  3. Press LFO+: LFO1 a Triangle at 0.70 Hz.

    The LFO+ page of My Strings, layer 1, the cursor on MnRate (0.70H)

  4. DSP MOD: on the PWM Wid row Source 1 LFO1, Depth 18.

    The DSP MOD page of My Strings, layer 1, the cursor on Source 1 (LFO1)

  5. DUP LYR; on layer 2's DSP CTL the PWM Pch row's Fine to 7 ct.

    The DSP CTL page of My Strings, layer 2, the cursor on Tune (7 ct)

  6. Layer 2's LFO+: LFO1 at 0.95 Hz.

    The LFO+ page of My Strings, layer 2, the cursor on MnRate (0.95H)

  7. DSP CTL on both layers: LP Frq A 6 1760 Hz.

    The DSP CTL page of My Strings, layer 1, the cursor on LP Frq (A 6 1760 Hz)

  8. The Amp row: -8 dB, VelTrk 20 dB.

    The DSP CTL page of My Strings, layer 1, the cursor on VelTrk (20 dB)

  9. Press AMP ENV: on both layers Att1 0.34 s, Rel1 0.8 s.

    The AMP ENV page of My Strings, layer 1, the cursor on Attack1's time (0.340)

  10. Press FX: the insert chain to 31, Chorusier.

    The FX page of My Strings, the cursor on Insert (31)

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