THE YAMAHA C7 PATCHES
The provided instruments can be divided into 3 categories: CLOSE, AMBIENT & MIXED.
The close and ambient samples were recorded in phase. You can freely mix these samples
during playback or mixdown without any artefacts or phase cancellations. This gives
you absolute control over the exact amount of ambience. The option to create your own
balance between the two microphone perspectives is possible when both CLOSE and
AMBIENT programs are loaded in your sampler application.
CLOSE
�� CLOSE C7 + sustain - The basic close miked patch. It uses 8 velocity layers with
sustain pedal up and 8 velocity layers with the sustain pedal down. The samples
were recorded from a short distance and have more presence and “ringing” sound.
These samples may seem better for pop songs but in busy mixes with lots of instruments
playing, they tend to get lost in the mix and the ambient samples are
known to “cut trough the mix” better no matter what first impression they offer.
That is because the CLOSE samples lack body and fundamentals. I suggest using
the CLOSE samples with care and add them to the ambient samples to add realism
and presence.
�� CLOSE C7 16 pedal up or down* Same as above but these patches only use one set
of sustain status samples. The are to intended to be used in situations where a full
sound (pedal down) or thin sound (pedal up) is preferred.
�� CLOSE C7 16 pedal up or down with release* Same as above patches but with the
release samples. These patches have the release samples layers built-in. They need
an extra stereo voice for the release triggered samples.
�� CLOSE C7 realtime sustain* Same as basic CLOSE C7 + sustain but with an additional
sustain pedal controlled crossfade between the sustain pedal up and sustain
pedal down samples.
�� RELEASE The release samples patch. Can be used for overdubs or when layering
programs in multi-setup.
* You can use the modulation wheel on your master keyboard to control the level of the
release samples.
AMBIENT
�� AMBIENT C7 + sustain* Basic ambient patch. It uses 8 velocity layers with sustain
pedal up and 8 velocity layers with the sustain pedal down.
�� AMBIENT C7 + release (prog. Nr 2)* Same as parent patches but with release samples.
�� AMBIENT C7 (prog. Nr 3)* Wet patch which has both release samples and separate
sustain pedal up and down samples.
*modulation wheel controls release time
MIXED SETUPS
The mixed setups are different for Giga and Kontakt. Please refer to the section involved.
More programs will be announced with future updates.
