NLA1 patch; starting point

Post by Marlowes »

Hej!

When I start to create a new patch I do this to get the feeling of a clean slate (tabula rasa):

Select the preferred program slot.
Turn the knobs
  • Filter freq to full
    Amp env decay to full
    Output to 6.6
    Master level to 12 o'clock
    All other knobs to 0
Then I press Shift-Init sound twice.
And then Shift-Store twice.

Now, I'm ready to start creating a new patch ... :D
Any comments or suggestions?

That looks like a great idea, Marlowes!

But don't you thing Output Gain setting would be better at 6.5? ;-)

Bless,

Pablo

Hej Pablo!

Nice joke! :D When I do the Shift-Init Sound thing and then check with the Monitor button the display shows 6.6. Try it out yourself.

Please remember that my NLA1 is one of the Swedish reference ones. Ricard is doing spectral analysis on it (comparing with NL2, NL2X and Blofeld). And Kroffe asked questions about it ... 8-)

Salut ArfNtz!

Non, it's plain Latin, meaning approx "erased slate". The Romans were using wax slates/tablets (=tabula), erasable with heat. Like putting your iPad in the microwave owen.

I'm just trying to impress Herr Doktor Doktor Synthprofessor Wolf. ;)

Arvo Part has used this latin name for his music title.
It "sounds what it means" ;)
I like it.
