KLSTRBAS Description

KLSTRBAS (for "cluster bass") produces dense sounds by combining several waveforms with a fixed frequency ratio between them. Early Roland drum machines created cymbal sound in part by combining multiple square waves with non-integral frequency ratios. The combined signal was then high-pass filtered to produce a very dense cluster of high frequency harmonics. The genesis of KLSTRBAS was a failed attempt to create cymbal sounds using this technique. Parameters: MIDI key: Decay: Fractional Decay: - synth kick drum sounds can be produced by setting Decay time to zero and fractional decay to a low value. Density: - Sets the number of component waveforms, defined as four times the density value. Higher densities produce a deeper flange effect but can also cause the sound to go out of tune. Detune: {these two parameters affect the relative Flange: frequencies of the component waveforms} Wave table: - type of component waveform. These are not band limited so aliasing may result if either MIDI key or generated frequencies are too high.
