EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE
CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual Page 73
introduce the feedback element of the sound using pressure to
create a powerful heavy metal guitar.
You can, of course, change the default selection from to
anything you like simply by placing the cursor where it says
and scrolling through the modulation options.
The effect the loudness modulation parameters have on the overall loudness of the program
depends on the modulation source you select. Here are some suggestions:
LFO 1 or 2 This will impart a tremolo effect on the sound and so is useful for
simulating old rock and roll guitars where this effect was common in
amplifiers. This may also be useful in simulating the tremolo effect
found on organs. It may also be used to simulate the tremolo effect of
woodwind on sustained notes. Using a triangle wave for modulation, it
is particularly good for vibes sounds, especially those with a static
loop. It is probably not suitable to simulate tremolando strings,
however, using LFO modulation. Of course, it may be used for special
effects.
Modwheel Use this, perhaps, instead of pressure.
Bend Use this instead of pressure or modwheel.
External Depending on the selection made in the GLOBAL MIDI page’s main
page, you could apply footpedal, volume or breath control to control
the program’s overall loudness. The breath option will be very popular
with owners of the Akai EWI MIDI wind controller.
These three modulation input sources may be combined and mixed together. When layering
programs in MULTI, identical mod sources in other programs may be inverted for crossfade
effects.
NOTE 1: You will note that if the parameter is set to full (i.e. 99) the output level of
the CD3000XL is at maximum and so you will not hear any effect if one or more modulation
sources are applied.
NOTE 2: In some cases it is possible to overload the CD3000XL and cause distortion. This will
normally only happen with particularly loud samples recorded at full level when excessive
modulation is applied. Increasing the filter resonance may also lead to distortion in some cases.
If this happens, back off the
parameter.
