Dark EnerGy DOEPFER Example Sounds
2. Basic Bass
The second example is a simple and useful bass sound.
Again, the VCO provides a mix of saw- and squarewave signals. The last-named gets a slight pulswidth
modulation by LFO2 in order to make the sound richer. Experiment with the parameter settings, especially
with VCF Freq and resonance as well as with the ADSR parameters.
With very short decay values and low cutoff settings, slight but clearly audible pops may occur. This is nor-
mal. If not desired, simply increase these values a bit.
If you connect the CV4 socket in the backside with the VCF F input, you may additionally controll the filter
cutoff with the modwheel of your MIDI keyboard.
Raise filter cutoff and resonance and crank up the LFM knob (linear FM) slowly to maximum. The sound
becomes sharper. Experiment with the filter settings and the range switch of the oscillator.
