The Modifiers
As described in the “VL1-m Basics” section (page 8), the VL1-m
has five “Modifier” stages that shape the overal timbre of the sound. Al-
though the modifiers can vary the sound over a considerable range, the
fundamental timbre of each voice is determined by its physical instrument
model. If you start with a trumpet voice, for example, the modifiers will
let you create an broad range of timbres, but the final sound will always
be more or less trumpet-like. It is therefore important to choose a voice
that provides the right foundation for the sound you are trying to achieve
when attempting to create an original sound.
The five modifier stages are:
Harmonic Enhancer
Of the five modifier stages, the Harmonic Enhancer has the most pronounced effect
on the actual harmonic structure of the sound. It allows you to create radical timbral
variations within the current instrument “family”.
