Blue 2 Synth

[Ilona Brownson]

Ive been looking for a synth pad titled "Blue Carpet". A lot of friends and other users have been raving about this patch. However, in my Channel Strip Library, I do not have such a patch. Please help. Thanks

On the channel strip near the top, just below the Expression value you'll see a box with a patch name. The default patch for a new channel strip is Suitcase Bright. Click and hold on it for a second. A dialogue box will open. Select Factory> Synthesizers> Synth Pads and choose Blue Carpet from the list. I use this patch a lot.

If you select the software instrument (2) you browse the patches for the software instruments. If you select the channel strip (1) you browse the patches for channel strips (which includes effects and are different).

Blue Synth PM is a free phase modulation virtual synthesizer. It can produce lush pads or powerful leads. It is available either as a standalone application or as VSTi for using in a host application such as Sonar, Cubase, Ableton, etc.

There are two oscillators to create the carrier waves which can both be phase modulated by a sine wave. You can choose the carrier waveform and apply an attack, decay, sustain and release envelope whose amount can be adjusted. The Freq PM knobs control the phase modulation frequency, 0 is no modulation 1 is full modulation at half sampling rate. Oscillator 2 can be detuned. The output can be fed through two filter banks with cutoff, resonance and track as well as ADSRs affecting the filters. Programs can be saved. There are 10 factory sounds preloaded in the synth courtesy of Yoa out of the 20 available program slots in each program bank. Programs/banks can be saved as text files or as fxp/fxb files using the host program for VSTi. Please set MIDI and audio preferences in standalone version first. In the VSTi the host settings fixes these parameters.

I have my library and blue color voices. When I import it into user edit and save this voices has green color.

When I save this voices to new library and install it again I see this patches blue.

Parent patch for all my voices is Normal init (AWM2) usually.

In non-standard PART Category Search, all the Performance Names are in GREEN print if Attribute = Single. But this is because you are TARGETING a SINGLE PART within any named Performance. The Part you are targeting is defined by the SOURCE Drop Down Menu which is TOP CENTRE of the Screen.

You get to Part Category Search when you click on an existing Part in your current Performance, and then click Category Search in the top Left Hand pop-up menu. The presumption here is that you want to REPLACE ONE PART with a different SINGLE PART.

I also highly recommend learning and understanding the difference between your onboard USER Storage, and onboard LIBRARY Storage. Also learn the difference between STOREing a User Performance (to the MODX), and Creating a USER LIBRARY (SAVED to a USB Memory Stick). This is different again from making a BACKUP File or making a USER (Single Performance) to USB.

2) If I have worked on a "Personal Project" Performance, I will have Many similar USER Performances each with different Version Numbers e.g. "Diamond V1", Diamond V2, ...V3.... V4... V26. You get the Picture. I will create a LIBRARY called DIAMOND VERSIONS and save it to USB. I will then DELETE all USER Diamond Performance Versions from the MODX to prevent clutter. If I want to Return to the DIAMOND PROJECT at a later date, I just load the LIBRARY off USB. I can then IMPORT a specific File or Files to my MODX USER Memory, and DELETE the Library (off the MODX).

I think you are trying to copy (Category Search) another "Multi Part" Performance into your INIT Performance. BUT what you are doing is only copying a SINGLE PART from the Donor Performance (You are Using PART CATEGORY SEARCH).

Thus when you STORE your Performance it will forever more list as GREEN because it only has 1 PART. ONLY Multi-Part Performances always appear in BLUE PRINT. Single Part Performances always appear in GREEN PRINT.

You can probably use "ab" as it's rarely used. This way you always have a reference (first part of the name unchanged) to the Part/Performance you started with, and can easily find your efforts, as the search box is able to search anywhere in a name... you can just type "ab" into the search box and there's all your works to pickup and continue with.

In Antony's example there, it's still just the Single/Multi meaning. The reason the USER MODIFIED version is a different color is not because it's user modified, but because the particular user modification changed it from a Single part sound to a Multi part sound.

I do not know what is the causal relationship, but I found what it depends on.

Montage Backup File makes all in blue.

Not sure maybe User File or maybe "MODX User File" is output mixed blue and green.

Usally I set X7L with rename from X7U

Maybe it's good to mark different types with different colors. But I have all the sounds in the library single-channel.

And it's not beautiful when they stick out for no reason of different colors.

This is important to quickly know because there are many reasons why you would want to only add single-Part Performances. You can also filter the Attribute by single-part and you will only see green. Or you can filter the Attribute by multi-part and you will only see blue.

One word of caution: although it may work - renaming user files to library files or vice versa is not recommended. The melas tools and MODX have provisions to create user or library files without renaming.

If anyone at Yamaha is watching, I would suggest adding a glossary, icon, and coloring convention section (at the beginning or at the end) as a quick reference. Make this the first "go to" place when you're just beginning to learn the machine. Icons are always intuitive "after" you have the intuition...as is coloring.

I'm hearing this harmonica-like synth sound with bending, used a lot in New Order's "Blue Monday" and can also be heard all over Don Henley "All she wants to do is dance". I'm not sure if it's synth patch but both sound pretty close to the same and was wondering if anyone knows which synths were used for both songs that might help me pinpoint which one it is....

That's brought me back - me aunt used to have one of these years ago, and would let me play it. I play tin whistle as well, and compared to a tin whistle, these things are amazingly clunky to play. Good sound though

Here is an incomplete listing of equipment that the various members of the various bands have used. Some info derived from Tom Chess's site (possibly unavailable), and some info gleaned from a postings by various people (including material from Future Music, Issue 16, February 1994).
