Another 0-coast sound design experiment. This time trying to mimic the sound of a motorcycle or car engine idling, shifting through gears, then quickly slowing down. I performed the shifting gear sound by turning on slope cycle while slowly turning pitch and overtone knobs up. I turned off the slope cycle to stop shifting & maintain engine speed / idle. Added a touch of small space reverb after the fact.
# 0-coast settings
FROM SQR Wave out TO TEMPO
FROM CLK TO Contour GATE
FROM SLOPE Slope out TO LIN FM
Pitch Knob: Start at 0%, slowly move up as gear shifts up
Overtone: start at 0%, slowly move up as gear shifts up. Attenuator knob 100%
Multiply: 50%, 50%
LIN FM knob: 100%
SLOPE: Rise 100%, Fall 100%, 50% vari-response
Contour: Onset 0%, Sustain 0%, Decay 90%, vari-response 90%
Balance knob ~ 50%
Notes: SLOPE cycle button initally OFF for idle sound, then turn ON to begin shifting gears. When shifting, slowly turn pitch & overtone knobs up. Turn slope cycle OFF to stop shifting & maintain constant speed (idling, top gear).
