un-mono instruments...

un-mono instruments...

2003-08-27 by nodalterror

hey howdy all.... made this amazing little preset today.....great sound 
but....unfortunately, it was based on a preset that was mono. i need 
some help to un-mono this sound... i'm kinda stuck. any help 
appreciated....

on a side note... realm, listening to your live set has re-kindled my 
love affair with my xx-7...hearing 60 mins straight of non stop xx-7 
action has really inspired me to dig deeper into my purple box...

>>>You could go to the Preset Edit menu, and change the pan settings, that 
would be the easiest.  If that doesn't do what you're after, and if you're 
preset has less than two layers being used, you can use this little trick 
to make the preset more "stereo like":

1. Go into the Save menu and copy the layer and patchcords for the first 
layer to the second layer.  If you're using two layers already (I assume 
1&2), do the same, but copy layer 1 to layer 3, and layer 2 to layer 4. 
Patchcords too. Save the Preset to a new location real quick just to be 
safe.
2. In the Preset Edit menu, go to the Tuning Page, and set the first layer 
to +3, second layer to -3, (third to +3, and the fourth to -3).
3. Still in Preset Edit, go to the Amplifier page and set layer one's pan 
to 64R, layer two to 64L, (layer three to 64R, and layer four to 64L).

There you have it, instant stereo spread.  Obviously you can play with 
this some to fit your needs, you don't have to use panning all the way to 
the extremes, and you can increase the tuning amount to increase the 
effect too. <<<

affair with my xx-7...hearing 60 mins straight of non stop xx-7 action has

>>>Hmmm, so many jokes waiting to be said with this one...  ;)  Glad you 
enjoyed it though! <<<

Your little trick is cool rEalm but I always thought that Mono refers 
to monophonic not monoaural (the contrary of Polyphonic...one 
sample "kills" the other), as you must know, basically every sample 
is mono in a synth, especially in the XL1/XL7 ...(I'm sure it works 
like like this on the orbit3 which is one of the rare synths to have 
stereo samples onboard though!)....So it may have more to do with 
groups in preset edit than Pan...But maybe I'm wrong.........
