Insert Mode Program. Configured for Series Routing. The heavy filter emphasis gets pushed back – just a little – in optional Parallel Routing. Program MIX 35-50% (via EXP2). HarPeggiator into PolySynth. Programmed for stereo use.
Semi-modular subtractive synthesis for the H90. In the past, I’d have sold my soul for a synth with these capabilities. Let alone one that could process a guitar with hands-free variations.
The Base Program uses sequenced patterns to trigger a resonant filter sweep over a 3-oscillator octave spread. Under foot control, the deep S&H LFO modulation slows while transforming processor shapes.
The triggered patterns will also slow down, semi-synchronized, for a variety of classic filter sweeps & glides. More under foot control: panning, detuning, pattern gating, pitch-bending, Program tap timing, pattern or LFO retriggering, FREEZE, and momentary switching of a Square chop effect.
EXP1 is mapped to the [P] HotKnob parameters (below), with HarPeggiator Dynamics and PolySynth Detune. EXP2 is mapped to the Program Mix (35-45%), and adds Rhythm A & B influences to HarPeggiator triggers. It also changes LFO Amount & Spread in PolySynth, while sweeping Pitch Wheel up 1200 cents (saved at Heel).
All three HotKnobs are pre-programmed for making fine adjustments to several of the effects. Customize the sound, using these variations:
* [P] HotKnob (C/W or EXP2) – adjust HarPeggiator Length with PolySynth LFO Rate & Shape [default = 0 / EXP2]
* [A] HotKnob (+/-) – change Sequence A + B in HarPeggiator [default = 50].
* [B] HotKnob (+/-) – adjust Env Amount + Env Sens in PolySynth [default = 65].

If you start to drift out-of-sync, go to page 1 of the Performance Parameters, and press the RESTART & LFO RETRIG simultaneously. See the Program Notes for more information on the PERFORM switch mappings.
