 Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2018 7:25 pm Post subject: EXi instrument-type default tone ?? |
 |
|
I’m still trying to learn how to program this Beast of-a-keyboard. So much to Learn.
After initializing an EXi program, I may choose for the EXI1 instrument type as “AL-1 Analog Synthesizer” and the initial tone/patch seems to always default to a bad “Jump’ish” type of brass sound.(haha)
My question: besides always starting with the ‘jump’ish brass sound’ (for the AL-1 Analog Synthesizer), is there a way to access a list of AL-1 Analog Synthesizer tones already pre-programmed to choose as the initial default tone? To be able to do this would definitely speed up the process of programming an init program from scratch. |

| You could also start with an existing EXi program after saving elsewhere in an EXi bank. You also have the "Copy EXi oscillator function" which can help you save time. |

you get a jump-ish tone??
...that does not sound normal.
The init sound should just be two phase aligned saws going through a 2-pole LPF.

phase aligned not detuned. The amp would also need a bit of release to be more like Jump. There's probably a Jump synth somewhere in the Kronos factory patches that you could study to see just how different it is from an init AL-1 patch, Sweat.
But yeah, engineerjoel, I've done what KK suggested. Simply modify an init AL-1 patch with the amp sustain up, no release and the drive circuit bypassed. I'd also turn down oscillator 2 and switch both oscillators to saws instead of saw/squares. I sometimes still use my init AL-1 patch as a starting point but it's not that much different from the default init. When making vids I start with the default init since that's easier for everyone else.
