Playing the sequencer
1. set sequence lenght to 5
2. meter switch to “control voltages”
3. putting pins into the matrix
4. press “record” button.
5. set “pitch spread”
6. press record
7. play a sequence
8. press “play” button

Voice patch 2 (BoS) p 17

a. Output channel 2 not monitored (feedback path)
b. Set up with channel 2 level at 0. Play middle C
and advance control until note breaks up and then retard control slightly.
Check all other notes on keyboard.
c. Alter osc. and filter levels and filter controls, add the other oscillator, or try applying the same principle in different ways, e.g. envelope out – envelope in.
d. Try output channel 2 level at different settings beyond and before the break-up point.
Oboe (BoS) p 8
From the book of sounds by David Steven. Click on pic to enlarge!
a. Follow normal two-osc. tuning procedure. Osc. 1 is an octave above osc. 2.
b. Start with output channel 2 level set at 0 (output channel 2 not monitored).
c. Play middle C and advance output Channel 2 level until note breaks up (feedback). Back control off slightly.
d. Play slow glissando from bottom to top of the keyboard tp check that all notes play normally. If any break up or are octave-doubled (i.e. note and its octave), retard the output channel 2 level while holding that note until the note is stable.
This feedback technique adds a considerable number of timbral possibilities to the Synthi A. Experiment with this patch by altering osc. levels and waveform shapes, and filter frequency controls, (filt/osc. 2 output filter). Also increase output channel 2 level by varying amounts and see what happens.

a. This is a variation of the wolf howl patch. Noise could possibly be introduced to make the effect nastier. Experiment with this one in a darkened room.

a. Output channel 2 not monitored.
b. Adjust for desired amount of vibrato.
Treatment (BoS) p 25
From the book of sounds by David Steven. Click on pic to enlarge!
a. This treatment can be used with any source. The input control should be adjusted as necessary.
b. Channel 1&2 output levels should be adjusted for the best panning.
Deep breathing (BoS) p 21
From the book of sounds by David Steven. Click on pic to enlarge!
a. Adjust balance between orig. control voltage (trapezoid) and inverted signal voltage (input channel 1) to get desired inflection on breath.

a. Tune OSC’s to unison with vibrato set at zero (osc. 3 output levels).
b. Move joystick horizontally while playing, for bowing
effect, or, if moved rapidly, for tremolo.
