However, the Ensembletron is by no means a copy. Apart from offering a high quality yet gritty and slightly rough string sound with a great balance of fidelity and warmth, the Ensembletron features a unique three-stage Ensemble section which animates and adds stereo spatial spread to the output. As you might expect, there are adjustments for slow attack, decay and sustain, but there’s also an advanced yet simple-to-use Tone Management system which can significantly change the character of the sound from vintage to modern. And it’s on simplicity that this VSTi majors. Bsa airsporter serial numbers3305100 check. The whole control set can be explained in one blog post.

If you want to add analogue-type string pads and melody lines whilst controlling literally everything from the front panel (and do so for free), you’ve come to the right place. MAIN CONTROLS To the left of the keyboard, you’ll find the Ensembletron’s Main Controls, comprising a Tuning knob, a Master Volume knob, and a Preset Selector. You can select from 12 presets by clicking on the selector window. ENVELOPE TOOLS The Envelope Tools set the note attack and sustain time, as well as allowing you to select between infinite and variable decay. The Attack slider adjusts between instant attack (with a ‘soft’ string-type impact), and slow attack, in which each note fades in gradually. The Decay slider (which can be disengaged using the adjacent Infinite slider) determines how quickly each held (as opposed to released) note will die away.

The Infinite slider is really just an on/off switch for the Decay slider. Set to On (up), the Infinite slider disengages the Decay and enables the Ensembletron to produce organ-style infinity in which notes will persist at the same volume for as long as you hold them down. Set to Off (down), Infinite allows the Decay to become active, so each held note will die away - at a rate depending on how the Decay is set. The Sustain slider adds levels of sustain after each note is released.

With this control set at its lowest level, the sustain on release is removed. With the control at its highest you get a long, post-release fade, which works well in some moody and atmospheric contexts. TONE MANAGEMENT The Tone Management section governs the personality of the Ensembletron’s basic string sound. The Rumblr slider adds or subtracts deep, rumbling bass in accordance with your taste.

Shape 1 controls the low midrange area of the basic tone. This is particularly useful in instances where you’ve employed the Sub waveform (more info coming up) and you want to lessen or exaggerate its impact on the sound. Shape 2 controls the high midrange area of the basic tone.

This is particularly useful in conjunction with the Treble slider. With Shape 2 set high and Treble set low, you’ll get a more vintage, lo-fi sound. With Shape 2 reduced and Treble set high, things will sound more modern. Take Shape 2 right down to its lowest level in instances where a mix is busy with punchy instruments and you want your string pad to add warmth without confusing the punch. The Treble control adjusts the highest frequencies, and works well in conjunction with Shape 2, as previously mentioned.

SUB & 5th By default, the Ensembletron produces a pure fundamental string note. However, the Sub switch can add a lower, ‘cello-pitch’ register one octave beneath the main fundamental.

This expands on the ensemble feel and makes the overall sound more substantial and ‘orchestral’. I’m using the quotes because this instrument simulates an old analogue string synthesizer and not a real string section – but in pitch terms the relationship with real string instruments is still relevant. If you feel the Sub frequency makes your sound too bassy or bottom-heavy, try cutting the Shape 1 level. The Fifth switch adds another string voice one fifth above the fundamental. If you find this extra component too dominant, try reducing the Shape 2 level - or Shape 1 to a lesser degree. Tip: The sound from this instrument is potentially very rich, so when you have multiple stages of Ensemble animation engaged, you may find that activating both the Sub and Fifth voices together produces a sound that's too thick to integrate into most mixes.
