SonnyDaye Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi guys,I'm trying to remove (or at least lessen) the percussive attack of the Vibes patch.The factory patch seems to emulate vibes being played with a hard mallet (almost a xylophone sound) and I'd like it to sound like it's played with a soft mallet. I've messed around with changing various parameters but can't seem to get the sound I'm looking for. Any tips appreciated!Thanks!Sonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyjames Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Sonny, I am presuming you are trying to modify the Vibe tone. The tone editing menu is relatively limited. I would suggest you create a new hex layer using the vibraphone wave which is number 66 or the GM vibraphone wave which is number 76 (I have not listened to them to see how different they sound). This gives you much more detailed envelopes to work with to try to tame the attack transient to your liking. You may find it advantageous to employ two or more layers of the same wave or similar waves within you hex layer tone to get the sound you want. If you get something you like, please post it in the downloads section here! Good luck... JJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Display Name Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 We're here to help if you get stuck. I learned something new.. I didn't know that tones were not editable as waves. Makes sense. Thanks JJ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
