PATCH EDITOR

GET COMFORTABLE BY DOING

Let’s make a patch, OK? That way you’ll get a feel for how the Patch editor works, and you’ll have a

much better understanding of things when you read about the details later.

The patch we're going to make will be an audio compressor. A compressor reduces the audio gain when

louder signals are input. The compressor we will build is constructed from a single “ducker” module.

Here is an excerpt from the Modules Section of the Vsigfile Help System describing the module:

The ducker module is the basic building block for most dynamics control patches.

It is essentially a dynamic range compressor with separate inputs for the signal

whose gain is to be processed and for the detection (sidechain) input.

By connecting sidechain to the output, a basic compressor is built. By

connecting a dry signal to the sidechain and a processed signal to the input, the

processed signal can be ducked (have its gain reduced) during louder passages

of audio.

Ducking is often used by radio talk show hosts such that the host’s audio

overrides the guest or telephone caller. Each time the host talks the caller’s

audio is dropped down such that the host’s audio is much louder. If the host

talks loudly, the caller’s audio disappears altogether.

Since we’ll be using the ducker module as a compressor, we’ll loop the output audio back to the

sidechain input. Try the following tutorial out on your Harmonizer:

To start, go to the PROGRAM area and load the Thru’ program

from the Programming bank.

Next, go to the Patch Editor area by pressing and holding the

PARAMETER key. We're looking at an empty slate. The only

things we see are the IN and the OUT modules, which exist in

every patch. The IN module is where audio signals come into

your program, and the OUT module is where audio signals exit

your program. In its current configuration, the DSP running

Thru’ should be passing audio unchanged, just as the patch

display shows.

To start creating the compressor, insert a ducker module. Press

the <insert> SOFT KEY. You will get a list of things to insert.

We want a ducker, which is in the “Dynamic” group of

modules. You can either turn the

KNOB until you see the little

arrow pointing to ducker, or you can save a little time by
