emusonacid!

Hi, I'm new to this board...

Anyway, this is "emus on acid", so I was wondering if anyone has some good acid patches or tips for the E4 series... I have an E6400 Ultra, no RFX card (yet)... Anyone have the goods?


Thanks!!!

you should take a look at the tone generation bit that i posted a few pages ago. or you can look at the reese that i did.. it works kind of, i am actualy going to see if i can improve the reese abit. but you can actually do quite alot with the test tones on your emu. if you have a higher os then i do you can even have tweakable q. you should mess around with triangle and sawtooth waves from the test tones if you want acid sounds. i will goof around with it alittle and if i find anything worth it i will post it. i am going to go and mess around with that reese a bit more.

Thanks for the tips, but something I may have missed: What's the best way to sample the tones? Can you do it completely internally to the sampler or do I need to bounce them over to somewhere else first then back into the sampler? I haven't ever figured out how to record 'em straight out.

i bounced them to minidisc then back again. you can do what you want...

when you go to sample the tones, turn everything almost completely down. these tones are for calibration and they will blow your head off. seriously. for my music, when i use patches that i have made from them, i typically have the mixer inside the sampler say about 20 or even 15, while my drums will be at 127.

also, when you sample, you should sample at 440 hz.. what that is, is A4 on your keyboard. so if you set your origin after sampling and setting up a loop point, on A4, you will have a equal tempered scale that is accurate to say a piano... so when you hit c2, it will play c2 for real.

there are some really neat stuff you can do with test tones, i am making complete songs with them, for now since i don't have a synthesizer. and i may not get one, unless it is an analog modular type.. like a doepfer..

have fun and play around with it. you will actualy start making sounds kind of like how they did with old analog synths back then.
