Vintage Sine Lead on Kronos

Post by JVL »

Im a former M50 user. Seems I can't find a Vintage sine lead preset on Kronos.

With three VA engines and a better version of the M50s own engine, it shouldn't be too hard to make one? Any special properties it should have?

Check again, i have a preset called precisely "vintage sine lead" on my Kronos and I can't remember that I programmed it myself.

Open the VNL PDF. Search "sine". Should be able to find a few. Season to taste.

i'm looking for the same sounds, and believe me...

NO KRONOS PROGRAM PROVIDES IT..

You'll have to create it using HD-1 engine, using sine waves from Jup 8 or moog for a very vintage sound..

If i have time, i'll share it for you tomorrow..
Love my kronos 88 :D
Love my yamaha psr s910 as well

What's dissapointing about polysix, AL-1 and MS-20 on kronos is:

THEY HAVE NO SINE WAVEFORM :evil:

The only way is from either MOD-7 and HD-1... But i do recommend using HD-1, as from noob's point of view (i'm a noob), MOD-7 is hard to program..

Triangle is pretty much the same. The Minimoog doesn't have a sine either.
Also, while they are often called sine leads, a true sine or triangle is often too dark so some pulse/square or even saw often gets mixed in with a dark filter setting.

Hope you can share your sine PCG here. That would be awesome. :D

A triangle consists of only a very few frequencies. They are all sinusodial (Fouriertransformation from time to frequency domain!). You can use the filter and keyboard traking to eliminate all but the lowest. With keytracking it´s possible to do that for all keys. If you modulate the pitch with LFO you get a nice legacy(=unstable) sine wave.

There are good books out there: "How to make a noise." for example.

Thanks!! Will try to find ebook of it.. I'm really interested in sound design.. But i have no clue what fourier transformation is..

He gives away his "How to make a noise" ebook free from his website.

You can get kindle versions of his more specific books (FM, analog, etc) from Amazon.

It´s a mathematical theory in physics. It describes every time signal, like a sound, that is periodic, as an infinite sum of sine or cosine functions.

Our ear transforms this signal all the time into vibrations of the basilar membrane. What we hear is a spectrum of frequencies that changes with time.

So a triangle has not many sinus functions and a square wave has many.
Also because of this a single sinus is not very loud and a square wave has much more power in it because of all the sinus waves and their amplitudes adding up.

Hope I could be helpful. :)
