mod wheel madness

2002-04-24 by spaceanimals

I wiped out preset 26 and built a sync lead on scene 1. Later after 
messing around and not knowing what I was doing, I got a great fuzzed 
out organ tone on scene 2. Always believing that too much of 
everything is just enough, I layered the sounds. So the Spaceanimals 
jammed the other day and I'm playing this patch noodling with the mod 
wheel and getting this real nice phase shifted sound, with the note 
slightly out of tune when I first bring up the wheel, but going back 
into tune as the wheel goes up. It sounds almost like I'm morphing 
between the sounds, but only only one scene button is pushed. So I 
check the matrix for both scenes. You know what the mod wheel is 
asigned too? Nothing! Not only that, but both scenes are tuned 
exactly the same so if somehow I'm morphing the scenes, they 
shouldn't be out of tune.

I set all four free egs to control the fine tune parameters, 1 and 
two covering the oscillators in scene one, and 3 and 4 covering the 
oscillators on scene two. A nice very subtle effect the tuning 
drifting-only a few cents just like the old analog beasts.
