Shakers and Maracas
Both are made with noise, either unfiltered or used to frequency modulate Oscillator
1 in order to create strong colorization. A high pass filter can be applied to remove
some low end.
The difference between shakers and maracas from the synthesist's viewpoint is that a
shaker has a longer attack and decay phase than maracas. Of course the sound de-
pends a great deal on how you play, so don't forget to set up velocity-based changes
to the amplifier.
Claves and Woodblock
Claves and woodblock sounds are also very similar. They both consist of very short
sine or triangle waveforms. A woodblock is lower in frequency, and you can add the
second oscillator to produce a different frequency. Claves should be made with only
one sine oscillator and a very short envelope.
TR-808 Cowbell
You are waiting for this one, aren't you? The TR-808 Cowbell is made of two square
oscillators, one oscillating at 540Hz, the other oscillating at 800Hz. The attack phase
of the envelope is emphasized heavily to create the strong click. Afterwards, the
summed signal is sent through a band pass filter and an envelope that stops abruptly.
A funny side note: on the TR-808, the square oscillators were the same that were
used for the cymbal and hi-hat sounds. However, those sounds used a cluster of six
detuned square oscillators with different band pass and high pass filter settings.
MIDI Controller List
Please be sure to note:
Sounds 1 to 12 recognize MIDI controllers #12 to #59 on MIDI channels 1 to 12.
Sounds 13 to 24 recognize MIDI controllers #72 to #119 on MIDI channels 1 to 12.
Both Delay sections recognize MIDI controllers only on MIDI channel 16. Delay 1
recognizes MIDI controllers #12 to #18, and Delay 2 recognizes MIDI controllers
#72 to #78.
