- the Cheap saw patch is a dead simple patch showing how a saw wave can be approximated from a self-FMing sine wave. The result lacks a bit in the higher harmonics compared to a real saw wave, but it costs HALF has much in terms of DSP usage. - the String Ensemble patch is derived from my previous Rendez-vous 2 patch (which itself derived from the Supersaw patch). I started by replacing all the Slave saw oscillators by Slave cheap saw oscillators, thus being able to have 12 oscillators running within less than 50% of DSP power. I added a 12dB filter in the CVA. With the 4 knobs, you can control detune amount, filter cutoff and the VCA's attack and release time. On an unexpanded Nord Modular, this patch does have 7 voices of polyphony. - the Jarre's Eminent patch is derived from the String Ensemble patch by adding stereo phasing in the CVA, and tries to emulate the famous phased strings sound that are Jarre's trademark. - the Oxy6 rhythm 1 and Oxy6 rhythm 2 patch are meant to be used together. I wanted to have a very faithful rendition of Oxygene Part 6's rhythm pattern, thus I had to put a few sounds on the second patch. i hope MicroMod users will forgive me. Should be played at 116 bpm.
