Working With Cubase LE 3 - Synths and Internal Effects

By Greg Hoffman

Internal effects although they don't have as good as quality as that of an outer effects unit, still are useable. They preserve on space and also power. Most individuals feel that they only need the interior effects. Effects are normally located at the end of the majority of the synthesizers signal paths. They genuinely arent a form of subtractive music synthesis. You could get effects in 2 methods.

One being externally from an outboard form. This's a separate unit-box like a mount or pedal. Then there's the type that's built right into your synthesiser. That is in models made after the 1980s as prior to this time period the synthesiser had no built in effects.

The effects of unison come into play to make up for the not having enough oscillators. It multiplies the signal that the synthesizer is producing. Usually it'll detune the signals against each other. The similar way detuning oscillators is achieved. Unison is likewise not truly apart of sound synthesis. It's a fixed selection. A unison effect can be average numbers like two, four, eight, and a few more. This's for the signal multiplication. Clavia Nort Lead 3 is actually very creative in its unison effect. It holds one signal in center and pans out 2 signals each to the left and right of the field. This achieves a stereo wide effect as they detune against one another.

To enhance and increase a synthesiser sound you would need the chorus effect. This is one of the very popular ways. Its a lot more complicated sound modification process. Some individual claim that unison and chorus are precisely the same, or even similar as detuning oscillators. To support this claim is the fact that it can be shown in acoustics instruments like the guitar or piano. Anywhere where multiple strings are played at the similar pitch. On another hand whenever they're just more or less out of tune it creates a soft warming sound effect.

Chorusing inside the signal chain of the synthesizer lends itself to standard interpretation. An LFO is applied to create the effect. When a signal is duplicated and mixed with multiple copies of itself and having similar pitch it creates an artificial effect.

This is at a small level, and is always being swept by an LFO. If the delay based pitch sweeps are offset from each other you could pan the delay effect with the stereo field. This signifies the effect could be utilized in stereo. Being as the LFO control the effect, the feed back and depth of the effect it means they can be changed. The flanging effect utilised the chorus effect, even though it's an artificial effect. - 16887
