Step 01 / 5
Shape oscillator 1 and the amplitude envelope #
Choose oscillator 1’s waveform, shape, tuning and gain. Set Envelope 1 for the note’s amplitude contour. With oscillator 1’s filter routing off, this stage exposes the source harmonics before low-pass shaping.
Use Drift with the complete starting settings. Set the source and amplitude controls below; sections marked Off stay bypassed at this stage.
Signal flow: Drift → Chorus-Ensemble → Reverb → Utility. Begin with the instrument, then add each effect in its numbered step.

Voicing and modulation #
Set the voice options and modulation source/destination menus below. Their amounts appear in the Drift parameter table. A source has no effect when its amount is zero or its destination is None.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| Filter modulation source 1 | Env 2 |
| Filter modulation source 2 | Vel |
| LFO modulation source | Mod |
| Pitch modulation source 1 | Env 2 |
| Pitch modulation source 2 | LFO |
| Shape modulation source | Slide |
| Modulation row 1 source | Mod |
| Modulation row 2 source | Vel |
| Modulation row 3 source | Press |
| Modulation row 1 destination | LP Frequency |
| Modulation row 2 destination | None |
| Modulation row 3 destination | None |
| Voice count | 8 |
| Voice mode | Poly |
Use the voicing and modulation settings for the oscillator choices, voice mode and modulation routes.

Next: Blend the second oscillator and contour the filter →Step 02 / 5
Blend the second oscillator and contour the filter #
Enable oscillator 2 and route oscillator 1 through the filter using the states below. Balance the second oscillator, then set low-pass frequency, resonance and the Envelope 2 modulation amount. Key tracking and velocity modulation make the brightness respond to pitch and playing strength.
Keep the first stage’s source and amplitude settings while making these changes. The complete instrument settings show the resulting tone before effects.

Next: Apply Chorus-Ensemble →Step 03 / 5
Apply Chorus-Ensemble #
Select the mode, then set Rate, Amount and Dry/Wet. Rate controls the speed of movement, Amount controls its depth and Width sets its stereo spread. The high-pass setting limits the low-frequency content entering the chorus.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| Mode | Chorus |
| Rate | 0.39 Hz |
| Amount | 12 % |
| Dry/Wet | 18 % |
| HP On | On |
| HP Freq | 160 Hz |
| Width | 100 % |
Place Chorus-Ensemble after Drift. The complete settings include its remaining controls.
Sound after step 3 — WebM/Opus
Next: Apply Reverb →Step 04 / 5
Apply Reverb #
Set decay, room size and Dry/Wet for the surrounding space. Predelay separates the direct attack from the room. Input filtering shapes what excites the reverb, while diffusion and high-frequency damping change the density and brightness of its tail.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| Predelay | 12.0 ms |
| In Lo Cut On | Off |
| In Hi Cut On | Off |
| Diff. Hi Freq | 4.50 kHz |
| HiShelf Gain | 0.60 |
| Density | High |
| Freeze On | Off |

| Room Size | 55.00 |
| Dry/Wet | 17 % |
Place Reverb after Chorus-Ensemble. The complete settings include its remaining controls.
Sound after step 4 — WebM/Opus
Next: Apply Utility →Step 05 / 5
Apply Utility #
Set gain and width at the end of the chain. Set Utility’s Gain knob to the Output value in the table. Width changes the balance between center and side information; Mono combines the channels. Bass Mono narrows only the low frequencies below its cutoff. Keep DC Filter and phase-inversion switches at the listed values.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| Output | -1.82 dB |
| DC Filter | On |
Place Utility after Reverb. The complete settings include its remaining controls.
