4. Lag Generator used to smooth Pressure
This is a way to smooth a Pressure CV signal to enhance performance expressiveness.
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters.
- Using a patch cord, connect the VX-351 KBD PRESS output to the CP-251’s Lag Processor Input.
- Using another patch cord, connect CP-251’s Lag Processor Output to an Attenuator Input.
- With another patch cord, connect the Attenuator Output to the other end to the Voyager’s
FILTER Input jack (the FILTER CUTOFF jack on the VX-352)
- Set the Lag Processor RISE and FALL controls to ‘10’
Play a note and press down into the keybed a bit. Adjust the ATTENUATOR control to achieve the desired
pressure effect on the sound.
5. Envelope to Noise level for noise component at the attack of a note.
Some sounds have a burst of noise at the beginnings of a note or “chiff ” – for instance a flute or a pipe
organ. This configuration digs a little deeper into the Voyager to achieve this effect.
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters.
- Set the OSC1 WAVE control to Triangle wave
- Set the FILTER ENVELOPE controls to the following settings:
ATTACK: 1 msec
DECAY: 100 msec
SUSTAIN: 0
RELEASE: 0
- Using a patch cable, connect the VX-351 Filter Envelope output (ENVS FILTERS) to the
CP-251 MIXER 1 input.
- Set the CP-251 MIXER 1 Input and the MASTER level controls to 10. Set the OFFSET control
to –2 (about 10 o’ clock on the dial).
- Using a patch cable, connect the CP-251 Mixer Output (OUT +) to the Voyager’s MOD2 Input.
- Set the Voyager’s PEDAL/ON MOD BUSS controls to the following settings:
SOURCE: ON/MOD2
DESTINATION: LFO/PGM
SHAPING: ON/PGM
AMOUNT: 10.
- In the Edit menu select menu 2.4, ‘PGM PEDAL DEST’ and press ENTER. Scroll through the
programmable destinations and select ‘NOISE LEVEL’
- In the Voyager’s Mixer section, set the NOISE switch to ‘ON’, and adjust the NOISE level
control to 5.
- Set the Voyager’s AMOUNT TO FILTER control to +2.
- In the Edit Menu select menu 3.4, ‘TRIGGER MODES’. Set the trigger mode to ‘Multi-triggering’.
If you are using the RME with a MIDI keyboard controller that does not provide Aftertouch
(Pressure), try using the VX-351 Pitch Bend (WHEELS PITCH) or Mod Wheel (WHEELS
MOD) outputs instead of KBD PRESS. A little bit of lag can add a touch of organic
expressiveness to these controls.
