QWave 1.2
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 6:51 am
QWave 1.2 now has seperate Oscillator glide controls.
It is in the drop down menu of the pitch control area.
I have also discovered a way to get that fabulous chorus effect from my Eventide Eclipse by using the Unison stacking features.
It does require higher polyphony but sounds marvellous.
I would use 10 voices of poly, and then w/ a setting of 2, this turns the sound into a 5 voice FAT BASTARD.
But the beauty is when using a SpaceF CC2/5 or 8 device attached to the detune knob, I can get these luscious chorusing effects, thereby negating the Flange and Chorus effects which only take away from the analog character I seek.
Using the lag time and curve intensity settings and offsets, I can have my expression pedal in full back position. Then when I hear the LFO sweeping the wavetable Oscillilators into their highest frequency peaks, I can depress the expression pedal which will then go from a setting of 1 or 2, to a rich chorusing or 24 to 30, and as the wavetable frequencies start to decrease I can draw the pedal to full back again where the detune value is 1 or 2.
No biggie by itself really, but when you add a polyphonic pad of quad SAW's with a slow envelope, the detuned wavetable textures evolve underneath in the layer and it sounds really sweet.
I can't do a recording of the full patch until I get more DSP power, but here's a snippet of the wavetables sweeping w/ the detuning amount added.
Here's a little 2 Osc. sweeper using Shroomz Spinner and a Pair of Waldorf Wavetables.
