Algorithm Algorithm pattern 3 is also used for STRING 1. This has one carrier and three modulators, an algorithm used for voices having a high degree of character change. It is used in this example to reproduce the complex sounds of string instruments. Frequency of operators OP1, 3 and 4 remain at 1. The pitch of OP2 is set to 5 for creating the delicate texture associated with string instruments. Output level of operators and Feedback The output level of the modulator must not be too high. The appropriate setting is about 80 to 120. If the output level of the modulators is raised above this, the voice will begin to resemble that of a horn instrument, with some additional noise components. The feedback is used to reproduce the feeling of the vibrating string, and is set to 7. EG String instruments also have a slow attack, so that attack, or A, of the carrier is slowed down slightly by setting it between 13 and 15. The modulators are set faster than the carrier. The R (release) of the carrier is also slowed down slightly (5-6) to simulate the sound of an ensemble. This causes the sound to linger after the key has been released. LFO Vibrato is one the most important characteristics of string instruments. However, since this is an orchestral sound, there is no need for the deep vibrato heard with solo string instruments. Transposing Transposing lowers the pitch by one octave to obtain a richer middle and lower range sound. - 52 -
