A1 -> "Vox Humana"?

Post by kelpchofs »

Anybody have an example of the A1 doing a Moog Vox Humana patch?

I found this website where it's described how it's done but I haven't found a sound example.

Thanks!

Are you asking for an example? or the emulation made with the A1?
There is a Polymoog sample here with a demo:

I was looking for an example of the A1 producing the sound.

That is likely ASL Soundlab selling off his A1, but there's an error in the description in the links states that:
Then I whacked on the Ensemble effect and Bam! Instant Numan!
The orginal Polymoog 203A and 280A models doesn't even contain an ensemble effect so this is not accurate at all.
I've modelled the Polymoog Vox Humana (Numan-style from Direct output of the 280A) on the Nord Modular, maybe I should give it a try on the A1 again as well?

OK, here's a rough rendion of the Polymoog "Vox Humana" sans the Mode Filter, as Numan uses it.
It uses to slots, where one does the Pulse (with PWM) part and the other the Sawtooth part. The first one uses the vibrato LFO for pitch (vibrato rate set at default 6 in soundmenu) and the second part uses LFO for creating an pitch LFO that "beats" against the first. Just as the 203A and 280A models, velocity affects both brilliance (filter) and volume slightly, as well as attacktime (this is all achives through velocity mod).

Thanks for this! However, I think I should have posted in the pre-sales forum. I don't own an A1. Looking for an audio example. Sorry!

BTW, I was aware the link I provided was intended for sales purposes. I found this tutorial on youtube. I'd have to read the A1 manual to see if the proper controls are available.

Thanks, kroffe. I think I'm understanding better now what you wrote and see that it's the approach taken in the video (not to imply at all that this video is the gold standard; it was the only reference I had). You used the global LFO as the second independent LFO.

I'll see if anybody's up for offering an audio example.
