Hi DMANX

I don't have a computer editor so no anx files but try these tricks.

Use effects-rotating speaker, phase shifter, flange, chorus. A tube
amp or a fuzz box can thicken the sound nicely.

For sweeps-use the filter envelope. Set the attack number to
something higher than 50. There's also a knob for the amount the
filter envelope affects the sound. Sometimes I set this for a high
number, sometimes for a high negative number.

LFO-set it to triangle and use it to affect the filter, the synch
pitch, the pulse modulation, the pitch modulation. Start out with low
numbers for LFO speed-1-19 and turn it up until you get the sound you
want.Once you find a cool sound, try experimenting to see what the
other LFO waves do to the sound.Try setting some things to LFO 1 and
some to LFO 2. Have 2 different LFO speeds. Set each scene with a
different sound and different settings, then layer them-use dual-for
a thicker sound.


Don't despair-your card will do anything you need an analog
synthesizer to do. It does take time to learn how to program it, but
learning how to program it is a lot of fun.
