Love to hear what people are doing with the ribbon controller.I like
filter cutoff for the x axis, resonance and/or release for the Z.
Will try some of the suggestions.
How about some free eg tips? Probably this is old hat but I hear a
lot of people complaining about the "sterile" sound of digital synths-
nothing sounds as good as real analog.
To get a more realistic sound, I set the Free eg to modulate the fine
tuning of the oscillators, to get a very slight drift (2-3 cents) in
the tuning. Keyboard tracking can do this as well. Pitch modualtion
can be set differently for each oscillator for a fatter sound.
For pads-set up a pad sound, then use free eg to modulate the volume
of the second oscillator (tune to 7 semi tones above osc 1)-bring the
harmonics in and out. Also set up a dual voicing, use free eg to
modulate the volume of the scene 2 oscillators(set 12 and 19
semitones above)-now 3 sets of harmonics weaving in and out-cool!
