SECTION SEVEN: ADSR AND AR GENERATORS - 06112. While conducting experiment #9, create a patch that has only sustain. If low enough notes areplayed, is this an effective bass sound? CD track 3513. While conducting experiment #9, create a patch that has only release. Is it an effective technique tochange the release time while notes are being played? When a long enough attack time is selected,and slurred notes are played, what begins to happen to the notes? CD track 3614. Are the EG’s a useful way to control the filter’s cutoff frequency? Where does one usually have theFc set for this operation? What happens to this patch with the addition of resonance? Is itpossible to create an automated filter sweep? CD track 2715. Try creating the patch in experiment #9 simultaneously with the patch in experiment #1. How isthis not as useful as each patch alone? Use the AR generator to control the pitch of an oscillatorwhile using the ADSR generator to control the filter’s Fc. Is this more useful than the patch in#14? CD track 3716. Now create a patch in which the AR EG controls Fc and the ADSR controls the pitch of an oscillator.In general, which is better suited to controlling the pitch of an oscillator, the AR or ADSRgenerator? CD track 3817. Why would it be useful to have an extra EG on the 2600?18. Create a bass patch with a short decay, little sustain, medium release and the attack set to about80%. Can this patch be played in such a way that true legato is possible?19. Using the ADSR generator to control the frequency of an oscillator, create a patch which automaticallybends up to the proper pitch each time a key is pressed. CD track 3920. Patch the ADSR generator to all of the oscillators (review Section 1 if you forgot how) and setdifferent modulation depths for each oscillator. Route the VCO’s to the VCF and use the ARgenerator to control the Fc. CD track 4021. Draw the envelopes of several common instruments. Be sure to include snare drum, piano, flute,and voice. Draw several.22. Use the ADSR generator to PWM VCO-2. How is this timbral shift made even more interestingwhen the same EG is controlling the VCF’s Fc? CD track 41
