Hi
I am not a musician but just love the sound of old analog synths
I got my self a copy of BitWig Studio and the artturia V collection
I am trying to make a patch that's sounds like the famous Gary newman string sound
with out much success.
I came across an article on the net with instructions to make this patch
which I think really nails that Vox Humana sound
I have tried to enter the correct values but I am bloody rubbish
so I wonder if someone would kindly see if they can do it
and post the patch on here Please
Here are the settings
and thnks in advance
Step 1.
Choose a saw wave for VCO-1 and a pulse wave for VCO-2. Set the range to 8' for both. Detune VCO-2 a tiny bit, and set the oscillator mix at equal volume for both oscillators.
Step 2.
Set the LFO to a sine (or triangle) wave with a rate of 5.72Hz. In the VCO Modulator section, set the PWM slider to 0.625 and the source switch to “LFO.” Th is routes the LFO to modulate VCO-2’s pulse width for animation.
Step 3.
Set the VCF cutoff frequency to 1,986Hz and resonance to zero. I used a 12dB slope for a little more brightness. Set “Key Flw” (key follow) to 0.75—this makes the sound brighten as you ascend the keyboard.
Step 4.
Set ENV2 as follows: attack at 453ms, decay at zero, sustain at full, and release at 4,942ms. Remember to turn up the ENV2 level in the VCA section or you won’t hear anything.
Step 5.
Now for the secret sauce. Access JP-8V’s extra LFOs by clicking the Open button in the upper right corner, then click the Modulations tab. Set both LFOs to a triangle wave. Set one to 5.04Hz and the other to 3.5Hz—these exact settings aren’t crucial as long as they’re different. In the Y Output, set the top pop-up menu to “VCO1 Pitch” and the amount knob to 0.084. In the X Output, set the top pop-up menu to “VCO2 Pitch” and the amount knob to 0.052.
That’s it! You can add delays or reverb, but the patch stands up pretty well on its own.
