Greetings JV/XP'ers!!

Well, another Monday has arrived, so it's time for another patch programming tutorial!

This time, I've programmed a rich analog-style pad, "Analog Dream". It demonstrates how
easy it is program great pads using the most basic of waveforms on your Super JV.

The heart of this patch is a sawtooth wave, to be found lurking in internal waveset B. I
dialed up a sawtooth wave on tone 1, added a reasonably long attack and release in the
TVA section, and did likewise in the TVF. A Low Pass Filter (LPF) is used to cut out
some of the natural high freqencies to be found in the raw waveform. I've activated a
slow Low Freqency Oscillator (LFO) modulating pitch in the LFO section, so that when
combined with the other sawtooth waves, it will create sort of a natural chorusing
effect. Using LFO 2, I've modulated the PAN position for the tone. This creates natural
stereo swirly effects.

Once I did this, I used the COPY TONE funtion (under UTILITY) to copy tone 1 to tone 2.
I then changed the waveform of tone 2 to a slightly different sawtooth wave (for subtle
sonic variety), detuned the two waveforms by a few cents (a cent is 1/100th of a
semitone) panned tone 1 hard-left, and tone two hard-right. This created a maximum
'natural' stereo prescence. I then copied tones 1 and 2 to tones 3 and 4, respectively.
The ANALOG FEEL parameter was set to 20, and STRETCH TUNE DEPTH was set to its maximum
value, 3. Both parameters are found under PATCH/COMMON.

This patch comes alive with the use of EFX. I've used the STEREO CHORUS program for
"Analog Dream". The PREDELAY was set to 70.0 for near maximum stereo spread, and the LOW
and HIGH EQ bands were given a boost. Try this patch without EFX, and you'll find there
is still quite a bit of 'movement' and 'buzz' in the sound.

Comments are greatly appreciated, so don't hesitate to email me. In any case, enjoy the
patch, see you next week!
