Videos
Introduction & the Interface (04:18) - In this first video, Larry introduces the plug-in and also outlines the function of the Main Interface, Source, Effects and Master Pages.
The Main Interface (09:49) - Larry now covers the Main Interface in more detail, as well as discusses how to set intensity and volume ranges for the XY Pad. You'll then learn how to go between both Main and Layer presets, and how to randomize sounds for endless sonic options.
Atmospheres vs Clusters (04:28) - In this video, Larry reveals the differences between Clusters and Atmospheres, as well as how they relate to preset architecture.
Atmospheres (11:13) - Now get an in-depth look at the controls for Atmospheres, including the parameters of the Mix, Tuning, Envelope, and Blend Tabs, which allow you to dial in exactly the sound you are looking for.
Clusters (09:18) - Next up look at the parameters that relate to Clusters, which give you access to the same controls for Atmospheres, but in addition, allow you to change Volume, Pan, and Tuning for each one of the available voices. You'll also discover the Strength Control which enables you to change the way in which the Strength Control is affected by the Y axis.
FX Page Pt. 1 (09:14) - Mod FX is now revealed, and you'll learn how to use it to create movement and color in your respective layers. Combined with the XY Pad, you can use these to greatly enhance the intensity of your sounds. See how in the video!
FX Page Pt. 2 (08:05) - Larry now demonstrates the EQ, Space, and Replika effects which let you dial in the correct frequency content, and also set your sounds in the appropriate environment, from small to huge spaces. Furthermore, you'll also see how to link the effects to set them identically for both layers.
The Master Page (04:37) - The Master Page is now covered in detail including the EQ, Saturation, and Dynamics sections. Larry also demonstrates how to setup the XY pad using a MIDI controller.
Sound Design Example (12:29) - In this final video, Larry shows you how to create a sound from scratch utilizing the techniques you have learnt throughout this video series, including how the XY pad can be used to really build up the intensity of the patch.
