More Crystl synth fun using FC-300 EXP1 wah-wah. For those interested, I've included all patches used in the demo in the attached ZIP.

PS. I tend to run the GK sensitivity high for synth work. Somewhere in the 50-65 range. For COSM guitar I'm down to 10-25.
To V or not to V: That is the question.

Really nice!  Is the rhythm/pad part also generated by the crystal synth?

The crystl synth is used for the drums and the scratch part. The rest is mostly wave synth.

Oh, wow, the crystal synth made the drum sounds?  That's really interesting and I would not have guessed that.  I have yet to get my head fully around the HRM stuff.  Looking at the number of parameters included with most of them, they don't seem all that versatile, but the demos and patches here indicate otherwise.  They apparently take a different mindset than a more traditional synth to master!

A neat trick is to use the chorus with 0 depth and adjust the delay for coarse comb filtering. The 0-4 ms range provides the most drastic sonical changes.


The polyphonic pitch section also alters timbre quite drastically.

Thanks for the tip!  This is something I'd probably have never thought to try.  Unbelievable how deep and wide the VG-99 is - just an endless playground.

I still have so much to learn about this beast.  I downloaded the giant compilation of patches and have checked out a lot of them, but I get the feeling I'm missing a lot by not going through the posts too, as there are probably performance notes, patch design hints, etc. accompanying a lot of them.

Looking forward to trying out your patches, hopefully later this week!  Cheers!
