Putting It All Together

Tutorial home

Now, let’s create a complete reed woodwind patch, including the following features:

• Air pressure from either an envelope generator or breath controller
• Tuning every 4 notes
• Nice-sounding legato transitions
• Stabilization from squawking
• Vibrato and growling
• Breath noise created from pulsed noise
• Velocity-to-amplitude modulation
• Post-processing, EQ, and reverb

Variations 1 through 4 will be controlled by the envelope generator, and will contain different EQ settings for mimicking different instruments. Variations 5 through 8 will be have the same EQ settings, but will be controlled by the breath controller.

Variation 1 through 4 generally has these modulation sources and destinations:

Source	Destination
Mod wheel	Pipe shape
Keyboard velocity	Output level
Footswitch	Growl
Pitch stick	Pitch

Variation 5 through 8 generally has these modulation sources and destinations:

Source	Destination
Mod wheel	Pipe shape
Breath controller	Air pressure, output level, overdrive amount, parametric EQ gain
Footswitch	Growl
Pitch stick	Pitch

As with the final flute patch, this patch is too big to try to put on the screen, so it can be found here.

Some additional woodwind patches are available in the Woodwind Patch Collection.
