Applying Various Effects to the Sound

The V-Synth provides numerous ways in which you can make your performance more expressive, such as the Time Trip pad, D Beam controller, and assignable controllers.

Applying an Effect by Touching Your Finger to the Pad (Time Trip Pad)

You can apply a variety of effects by touching your fingertip to the Time Trip pad located at the left side of the V-Synth’s panel.

What is the Time Trip function?

One of the advantages of VariPhrase is that the playback location and speed of the wave can be changed in real time. The Time Trip function takes advantage of this ability to manually control the playback location and speed of the wave. In patches that use VariPhrase, switch the Time Trip Pad function to “TIME TRIP” to use this function. While playing the keyboard, touch the Time Trip pad and the currently sounding wave will stop at the current playback location. Then as you move your finger from that point in a circle, the wave playback will advance in the direction of conventional playback (clockwise), or the reverse (counterclockwise). Unlike “scratching” on a turntable, this lets you control the playback without affecting the pitch, so you can play the sound at the pitch you specify from the keyboard.

You can use the D Beam controller to produce similar results.

1.Access the PATCH PLAY screen (p. 21).

2.Choose the function that you want to control from the Time Trip pad, and press the TIME TRIP PAD button for that function.

[TIME TRIP]: Apply the Time Trip effect.

[ASSIGNABLE]: Apply the effect that is specified by each patch. If [ASSIGNABLE] is on, the effect is applied via matrix control. This means that matrix control settings must be made separately. Set the matrix control Source to “PAD-X” or “PAD-Y,” and specify the parameter to be controlled in Destination. For details on these settings, refer to “Matrix Ctrl” (p. 38).

By setting matrix control Source to “TRIP-R,” you can apply the Time Trip effect and the matrix control effect simultaneously. In this case, turn [TIME TRIP] on.

3.While you play the keyboard to produce sound, place your fingertip on the Time Trip pad and move your finger in the following way.

If [TIME TRIP] is on

The effect will be applied when you move your finger in a circle on the Time Trip pad.

If you are using matrix control as well, the effect will be applied when you move your finger from the circumference of the Time Trip pad toward the center.
