vp9000, saving formant setting (does the XT do that?)

22 Dec 2011, 08:25

Hi.

here I am again with my vp9000.

I extensively read the manual,

but I couldn't find any info about the following:

I loaded a performance which includes just ONE encoded [solo-enconded] sample.

I then programmed the performance, played, modified the "formant" knob position, so obtaining a sound I like, and saved the performance AND the sample.

BUT:

if I reload the performance AND the sample, the formant modification is lost. I have to manually retrieve the "formant" knob position.

I find it hard to believe that a performance can't store such a basic modification (i.e., reloading the performance, with "formant" value at -32 instead of +63)

What am I missing?

Is that a software oversight in the vp9000?

If it is:

Does the v-synth XT allow for such setting?

thx in advance

I think it does yes, but honestly I'm not near my XT at the moment and so I can't check.
Let me get home later and I'll let you know.
Cheers

Thx a lot.

I bought the vp9000 becuase it's grotesquely cheap, as a way of testing variphrase before I decide upgrading to an XT (which seems too large for my live rack at 6 rack units. I'd have to move something else to make room for it, so I need to plan that carefully).

Thanks a lot for your help.

If anybody else has an answer re the vp9000, btw, please let me know

Hi there :)
Sorry I can't comment on the vp9000,
but on the V-Synth, if you have encoded the sample in a way that allows for formant shifts (like 'solo' mode),
you can of course save the formant setting in the patch where you use that sample.

Sure, the formant parameter can be saved with the patch!

I guessed that.

It is then really odd that the vp9000 can't save the formant setting.

"Odd" as in "I suspect I am missing something, some setting which is barring the knob changes to be saved, OR some setting that, at performance loading, resets the values to mid-range"

Any idea?

I'd hate RESAMPLING everything (quality degradation)
