Re: [motm] VC Resonance: is it that useful?

2014-01-25 by Jim Cowgill

Hi Paul, and Happy New Year!

I feel the opposite; I always have envelopes dedicated to VC resonance. Using an LFO to slowly modulate VC resonance during a sequence creates a wonderfully evolving effect. Robert Rich has beautifully used sequenced VC to control the VC resonance on some of his pieces.

In fact, VC Resonance is probably one of the top 3 modulation destinations in synthdom, in my opinion. VC resonance is a must have for me. 

Take care
