Entity has a variety of high quality, with thoughtful and flexible controls
kickA bass drum synthesizer that can produce It's not just a sound source, but a perfect percussive bass sound.
Resonant filter, VCA, envelopeAlso works as
The core of the Entity is a resonant filter, and the filter is input by inputting a trigger signal to Triger.
oscillationThe sound is decayed and disappears in the time that reflects the amount of resonance (Ring) (pinging). The frequency of the filter becomes the pitch of the oscillation sound, and the pitch can be controlled with the Pitch knob, FM CV, built-in envelope, etc.
In Entity, the trigger is
Built-in envelopeIs also set to start, and the envelope controls the filter frequency and the CV input of the VCA at the last stage (the control target can be selected with a switch). The envelope consists of an attack (Rise) and a decay (Fall),
Curve characteristics can be switched individuallyis.
The final OUTPUT section with a built-in VCA allows you to mix signals that have passed through the VCA with those that have not. If the sound does not pass through the VCA, it will be the sound controlled by the Ring, with only the pinging's original decay. By mixing this sound with the sound that the envelope applied to the VCA, you can create a basic and very wide kick sound. In A-Mix,
Inputs external signals such as noisecan. The final stage VCA is also applied to external signals.
Since the core of Entity is a filter, besides using it as a kick by oscillating,
Resonant filter, VCA and envelope ideal for percussive bassCan be used as Please do as follows.
- Input the output of another oscillator (square or sawtooth) to F-MIX. The output from the oscillator now passes through the entity's filter
- Patch gate from sequencer etc. to Trigger and pitch CV to 1V / Oct of oscillator
- Set the OUTPUT switch to ENV to control the VCA with the built-in envelope that rises at each gate, and set the switch so that FM can also be done with ENV
- Set FM LVL etc. as you like. By controlling the VCA with an external ADSR envelope (Output switch = AMP) and using the internal AD envelope only for FM, you can program legato and accent more flexibly.
