A lot of background information is given in order for you to fully understand DCAM: Synth Squad’s features, but some prior knowledge of synthesis and audio processing/mixing functions is assumed. Suggested further reading The Sound On Sound magazine articles database includes an excellent resource of synthesis information, particularly the comprehensive ‘Synth Secrets’ series. There are also articles on mixing, effects processing and other relevant topics when using DCAM: Synth Squad: http://www.soundonsound.com/articles/Technique.php There is also an excellent book about synthesis available for free viewing on the web (or as a downloadable PDF file), called ‘Advanced Programming Techniques for Modular Synthesizers’ by James J. Clark. It is written for the Nord Modular DSP synthesis environment, but its information is relevant for all kinds of synthesis, no matter what equipment you’re using: http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~clark/nordmodularbook/nm_book_toc.html Printing this manual Full permission is granted to print this manual for personal, non-commercial use.

  • ARP Axxe – Small Is Beautiful “Welcome to the ARP AXXE Electronic Music Synthesizer
    ARP Axxe – small is beautiful “Welcome to the ARP AXXE Electronic Music Synthesizer. Your AXXE will take you on the most important experience of your musical career. The AXXE synthesizer will broaden your creativity and expressivity and it will open to you the new world of synthesized sound. With the AXXE you can create musical textures that are new to this world, distinctly yours.” (ARP Axxe User Manual) Interesting – ARP praises the creation of musical textures “new to this world”. So what do you actually need the ARP-2600 for … ? Single-VCO version of the Odyssey As a cut-down version of ARP’s successful Odyssey, the Axxe hit the market in 1975. It only features one VCO (admittedly a very nice one) and has reduced modulation possibilities. Compared to other companies ARPs release of its smallest synthesizer came very early. Moog did bring out the Micromoog at the same time, but that instrument was no success at all. Highly successful cut-down synthesizers were released a couple of years later – like the Prodigy (1979) and the Rogue (1981). Sequentials Pro-One and Oberheims OB-1 were not out yet, but these instruments can hardly be seen as cut-downs. They are single products in every respect. | 1 ARP Axxe – small is beautiful People might tend to look at the Axxe as second-rate. But be careful there: although the features are limited, the sound is truely ARP high quality analog sound! Sonically, the Axxe is actually not too far away from the 2600, Odyssey and Avatar! Power and flexibility may be somewhat greater on the state-of-the-art 2600, but still: the Axxe is a lovely ARP synthesizer in its own.

Il sintetizzatore (abbreviato anche in synth dal termine in Sintetizzatore inglese synthesizer) è uno strumento musicale che appartiene alla famiglia degli elettrofoni. È un apparato in grado di generare Informazioni generali autonomamente segnali audio, sotto il controllo di un musicista o Classificazione Elettrofoni di un sequencer. Si tratta di uno strumento che può generare semielettronici imitazioni di strumenti musicali reali o creare suoni ed effetti non Uso esistenti in natura. Attualmente troviamo anche sintetizzatori Electronic dance music virtuali (VST, AU, RTAS standard lanciato nel 1997 ), che Musica pop e rock assolvono a questo compito interamente a livello software e che si appoggiano su schede sonore interne o esterne collegate ad un personal computer. Il sintetizzatore è generalmente comandato per mezzo di una tastiera simile a quella del pianoforte, comunque non mancano realizzazioni destinate ad essere gestite mediante il fiato, la pressione, le corde di una chitarra o altri tipi di controller di nuova concezione come quelli a Il sintetizzatore Oberheim OB-12 raggi infrarossi, a gesti e a onde cerebrali.

The default middle position is the average setting and a slide to the right is giving more treble to the sound, to the left less brilliance. Moving the Joystick down allows a sound modulation, up adds vibrato to the sound. SW1 transposes one octave down while SW2 locks the currently selected Ribbon position.
