In my endless search for synth sounds I spend a whole day on programming this one. I started out with a simple single S-Disc program but soon wanted more (as always). The finished product is everything I could dream for when I would want to make soundscapes like Fripp does. If you are really good you could even play the intro of Wish You Were Here from Pink Floyd, both the solo and the synths. If you want to, you could loose a few things and add a whammy to it to shift the pitch of either the "realtime" sounds or of the soundscape. Check out my website for more patches.

And is a great way to start and to # add things to your liking. # # In short we use a AWah for sound. This goes # to a Phaser + Delay and an inverted signal is # fedback from # the delay to the phaser to make # a smooth and endless soundscape. This sound is # going through a reverb, chorus, (surround sound) # delay and phaser to make it thick and wide. # # Settings for the noise gate, EQ, preamp # and AutoWah depend on your style. The noise # gate is only used to bring down the background # noise. Thanx to it slow fade in, it allows you # to "solo" over the soundscape with a mix of # dry signal and a slow synthsound fade-in after # it. COOL !! The 2Tap Delay is "surround sound" # to make the whole signal an even wider stereo. # Watch out for the 4PPhaser, too much and the # sound gets boomy. I have a Low Pass Filter in # the beginning, you could moce it and place it # before the Phaser only. # # The external expression pedal is used to # control the hold time of the sound. The # internal expression pedal allows you to add # sounds to the "soundscape" or to play normal # over the soundscape without changing it. #================================================ # Device: Digitech GSP2101 # Version: 3.00.00a (Dual S-Disc needed) # Algorithm number: User #================================================ #================================================ # MODEL PARAMETER SETTINGS #================================================ LINK AS FOLLOW: Left input to Awah Awah to HPF Left input to 2x1a 1 HPF to 2x1a 2 MDly out to Inv a 2x1a out to 2x1b 1 Inv to 2x1b 2 2x1b out to Pha input Pha out to MDly input 2x1a out to 2x1c 1 MDly out to 2x1c 2 2x1c to MRvb 2x1a out to 2TDly 2TDly 2 to Inv b 2TDly 1 to Inv c MDly to 3x1 1 2x1c to 3x1 2 MRvb 1 to 3x1 3 3x1 to 4PCho 3x1 to 4PPha 3x1 to 14x2 1 4PCho to 14x2 2-5 4PPha to 14x2 6-9 2TDly 1 to 14x2 10 Inv b to 14x2 11 2TDly 2 to 14x2 12 Inv c to 14x2 13 Mrvb 1 to 14x2 14 PARAMETERS: S-DISC I: Compr (On, 2:1, -30, 0) Distr (Bypass) EQ (-4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) MVol (+7) FxL (Bypass) SNgt (On, -70, 0, 0, 800, 0, 100, 0.0) AWAH (what you like) HPF (100Hz) 2x1a (83, 100, 49 [int 49 to 91]) Inva (out, 100) 2x1b (70 [int 70 to 0], 90 [ext 90 to 99 or 100 for endless], 100) Pha (100, off, 0.43, 70, S) Dly (0.1, 0%, 100) 2x1c (0 [int 0 to 100], 100, 100) MRvb (0, 100, 10, 3150, 6300, 8, 4.00, 50) S-DISC II: 2TDl (0.5, 0.3, 47%, 100) Invb (out, 100) Invc (out, 100) 3x1 (100, 100, 100) 4PCh (0, 10, 20, 13, 0.42, 3.25) 4PPh (100, 31%, 0.52, 22) 14x2 (0/0, 100/-50, 100/50 x6, 2x full left and 2x full right at 100, 0, output 100) Wet/Dry (100, 100) #================================================ # Additional notes #================================================ I've changed a few things for myself since I've made the patch. The LPF now only works on the 4Phase Phaser. The 3x1 gets a signal from the 2x1a, the Dly and the Reverb. The levels of the inverted delays are set at 50 in the 14x2 mixer. #================================================
