[A6] SV: A6 Digest, Vol 121, Issue 7

Fri Sep 9 17:06:45 PDT 2005

Hehe my patches usually end up with the name The Default Program.
I'm getting faster at the naming though...it's like learning to send SMS on 
the cellphone..you go reeeal slow at first. But the A6 is odd, since it 
keeps jumping back or forth when you change position.
I cooked up some pretty nice things, but they usually work best with other 
synths playing along,
or my outboard reverb/delay effects.
Am trying to learn to hit exact notes on an Etherwave-like sound, just a 
filtered sawtooth with loud delay and 60.70% frequency modded by the ribbon. 
It sounds really good when you vibrate all the notes with your finger, and 
you don't hear a false tone so well. It works so you hold the sustain pedal 
down and start flying on the ribbon.
I try to follow the Program Group/Number buttons for the spacings, 0-1 is 
approx. one full note :)
Can play some seriously spooky songs only like that, while varying the 
volume with the modwheel. I love that sound, I usually play along to the 
nightmare scenes in Alice Cooper's 'Welcome to my Nightmare' concert video. 
Put a slightly out of tune organ sound on top playing minor chords and you 
got yourself a horror film soundtrack :)
