From satti002@maroon.tc.umn.eduThu Jun 22 15:00:13 1995 Date: Tue, 6 Jun 1995 01:06:01 -0600 From: Chris Sattinger To: analogue@hyperreal.com Subject: 101 sequencer tricks Ok, I accidentaly sent my last post to someone on the list, but that's ok cause I was confusing myself a bit here (on account that the 101 was still going through the ms20. whatever) here is the sequencer function that cannot be duplicated by a midi driven (midi to cv) system. this is one reason i often use the 101 sequencer (even though it doesn't support my hard drive). sequence something with some legato steps (hold down "hold" when you enter the note) and some normal steps. vcf freq = 4 env = 10 vca = env env = gate VERY IMPORTANT decay = 6 sustain = 0 those are the important bits. while the sequencer steps through, change the decay up and down. The envelope only retriggers on non-legato steps, so legato steps trail off into silence with delicate little arcs (esp. with portamento). env = lfo will retrigger on each trigger in. It is much easier to try this than to explain this. There is a lot of sequencer fun and subtlety here, so look out. keep the resonance down, just the square wave (no pulse width), a bit of portamento and program octave jumps for lots of chicago trax style.
