This is a collection of Microwave patches that I spent some time and had
|
|
a lot of fun creating. I use my MicroWave for Techno and Ambient dance music,
|
|
and I thought that there might be some other folks out there doing the same,
|
|
and a set of sounds would be useful....
|
|
|
|
To that end, here is the "SPG" ambient sound bank. You may find things you
|
|
like in here, you may find things you don't. Your mileage may vary. I have
|
|
used all of the sounds in here at one time or another. And to help things along,
|
|
here are some application notes:
|
|
|
|
Bass Patches:
|
|
These are sitting in slots A1 to A8. I tried to tone these down a bit
|
|
from my normal "techno" bass sounds. I have used these with small room
|
|
reverbs and a bit of bass boost with great success.
|
|
|
|
Sweep Patches:
|
|
Sweeps are in locations A9 through A20. These are a lot of fun to add
|
|
texture to songs, I usually treat these with chorus and some plate
|
|
reverb to fatten them up. But if you have a good phaser, these are a
|
|
natural for that.
|
|
|
|
Pad Patches:
|
|
I advise the use of chorus and some chamber reverb on these guys. They
|
|
are used to "fill out" the sonic landscape on some songs. They are
|
|
found at A21 through A32.
|
|
|
|
FX Patches:
|
|
I usually uses these things with pretty heavy reverb as well. Feel free
|
|
to dump it on. Think of it as the FX patch is giving the reverb
|
|
something to bounce around with. Found in B1 to B5.
|
|
|
|
Perc Patches:
|
|
Gated reverb will make these alot more fun. I tossed these in for
|
|
grins. Look for them in slots B6 to B9
|
|
|
|
Ambient Patches:
|
|
You may listen to these and think "what the hell... these are not very
|
|
ambient!". The trick is that all of these work with Reverb patches in
|
|
my rig. Most of them should be washed in big amounts of gooey reverb.
|
|
If you want to roll your own reverb program, use something with very wet
|
|
setting. I go for the "Tile shower room" effect. The MicroWave has no
|
|
reverb of it's own, so a little boost helps out.
|
|
|
|
These are found in locations B10 to B22.
|
|
|
|
Synth Patches:
|
|
These are not the best synth patches in the world. I usually use them
|
|
stacked with something else. They do tend to layer well. Located in
|
|
B23 through B32
|
|
|
|
Multi Patches.
|
|
Yeah... Not even a full set. My favorites are Mars and Mercury. Kind
|
|
of shows you the rather frightening power of the MicroWave.
|
|
|
|
I hope you folks find some use in these. If you like them, send me mail
|
|
(bruce@pages.com).
|
|
|
|
Just so you know, these patches are considered public domain. I am
|
|
contributing them to the WavePool to further the Waldorf cause. Feel
|
|
free to use them without permission or royalty. If you feel really happy
|
|
about them you can give programming credits in you liner notes to either
|
|
Bruce Henderson or the SPG.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
