Subject: 2 new Cloud demos w/'expander'

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...>
Date: 2007-09-02

Here are 2 more Cloud Generators showing features available with the
"Expander Module".

READ THIS FIRST TO AVOID PANIC

Both demos show how the internal parameters can be modified by the ∗ROTARY
ENCODERS∗ in real time. So, each 'detect' is a set parameter, and as we are
rotating through the sound 'jumps'. This ∗does not happen∗ with control
voltages, there will be nice smooth transitions (no zippering).

OK, now that we got that out of the way:

www.synthtech.com/m520/sqr_bwmod.mp3

The first demo is a simpe 2-operator FM patch changing the modulation index
(just like a DX-7). The second demo is a square 'cloud' that is having the
bandwidth of the noise for the chous/spread being varied.

Currently, there are ~50 different parameters that are under user control.
These can be saved as a general "patch". 6 parameters at a time are under
the rotary encoders, in 9 'pages'.
