Changing the structure of the sound

Post by SlipKnoTCraig133 »

I'm recreating a sound from a roland Jv2080 on a korg that has the first wave go through the amp, then through the first filter along with the other wave, then together they pass through the second filter, and then through the second amp. How do I route the setup so that it does this on the korg?

I assume you're talking about a Korg TR or LE? for it to be in this forum....

You can't actually change the sound structure in the triton series as such, obviously the effects are slightly more flexible and you can get some filters etc on there.

But the filters being before or after the amp shouldn't make too much difference (unless you're relying on impulse triggered resonance to make a bell or EP like noise..)

also the LE/TR only has one real resonant filter, you can either have low pass resonant, or high pass and low pass (e.g. controlled band-pass) non resonant.

The whole idea is that you use this to try and approximate the sound, you'll never get it exact, but in most cases you can get it a little close, you just have to look at the sound from the other end... Instead of seeing what you've used on the roland to create it, you need to look at the resultant sound's frequency distribution and envelope and work backwards using the synth's fixed layout.

you can use double-voicing, where you will have two 'waves', each with its own individual filter system and amp, LFOs and EGs. so you can control the volume of the different waves seperately, and if you give them the same filter settings, it will be the same as having them go through the same filter.

e.g.
osc1 > filter >
+ = _-_-_-_-_-
osc2 > filter >


is the same as:
osc1 >
+ > filter = _-_-_-_-_-
osc2 >


assuming the filters are sharing exactly the same settings
