CL-Projects Blue Orb Trilogy Manuel utilisateur

Congratulations for acquiring the Blue Orb Trilogy. A series of three inspiring Kontakt instruments,

the so called ‘Blue Orb Series’.

Introduction

The Blue Orb Trilogy contains the three Kontakt 5 instruments from the 'Blue Orb Series’, the Blue

Orb Trilogy Bass Synthesizer, the Triode Lead Synthesizer and the Neutron Pad Synthesizer. These

synthesizers have a dual oscillator architecture with multiple envelopes, LFO's and effects. The

sounds of these instruments are highly inspirational and are therefore very suitable to translate your

musical ideas into complete tracks.

Each synthesizer has 60 different waveforms to choose from, 30 per oscillator. Each OSC has 3

envelope generators.(Amplifier, Filter and Pitch) and 3 different filters, (LP, HP and BP). There are 2

LFO’s, a Pitch LFO and a Filter LFO with a choice between 4 different waveforms (Sine, Saw, Square

& Random), or the LFO can be switched off. Both LFO’s can be used at the same time.

The sounds can be modulated via Velocity, Aftertouch, Key Follow and the Modulation wheel. And

to top this all off, you have a choice between 8 different FX (Digital Reverb, Digital Delay, Chorus,

Flanger, Phaser, Compressor, 2-Band EQ, Skreamer distortion) and an Arpeggiator. with an

integrated arp pattern generator.

These synthesizers already come with a big selection of sounds for you to play with. A total of 808

patches of which 588 are instruments (nki) and 220 are multis (nkm). The big amount of controls

encourages you to make your own. The possibillities are endless. Be ready to enter the world of the

Blue Orb Trilogy. You won't regret it.

Oscillator Amp

This section contains the Amplifier parameters of the 2 oscillators. At the top left corner of every

oscillator section, there’s a switch that lets you switch the oscillator on or off (Mute). At the top right

corner of the oscillator section, you will find 2 switches ‘A’ & ‘P’, A stands for ‘Amplifier’ and P for

‘Pitch’ (more about this later). To be able to edit the parameters of the amplifier, be sure that the ‘A’

switch is turned on (lights up).

Amp Envelope

An Amplifier uses an Envelope to control the overall loudness (or amplitude) of the sound over

time. Envelopes are activated by pressing the keys on a keyboard.

 ATK (Attack): Sets the attack time of the volume envelope. Sets the time taken to reach peak

amplitude after a note is played.

 DEC (Decay): Sets the decay time of the volume envelope. Sets the time taken for the

amplitude to ramp down to the sustain level.

 STN (Sustain): Sets the sustain time of the volume envelope, as a percentage of peak

amplitude.

 RLS (Release): Sets the release time of the volume envelope. Sets the time taken for signal

amplitude to ramp back down to zero.

Amp Modulators

 VEL (Velocity Sense): Sets the volume of the sound depending on how hard the key is struck.

 AFT (Aftertouch to Volume): Sets the amount of volume when pressure is applied after the

keyboard has been struck. It raises the volume when pressure is applied after the keyboard

has been struck.

 MDW (Modulation Wheel to Volume): Sets the volume amount when the modulation wheel

is dragged up or down. When dragged up, It raises the volume.

 KFL (Key Follow): Sets the amount of volume across the keyboard. When turned up, the

volume is getting higher the higher you play the keys on the keyboard.

Amp Main

 LVL (Level): Sets the volume level of the oscillator.

 PAN: Sets the placement of the oscillator in the stereo field.

Oscillator Pitch

This contains the Pitch parameters of the oscillators. To be able to edit the pitch parameters of the

oscillators, be sure that the ‘P’ switch at the top right corner is turned on (lights up).

Pitch Envelope

A pitch envelope will affect the tuning of the sound. With a moderate amount setting and fast

segment times, a pitch envelope can enhance the attack and/or add an organic quality to a sound.

More extreme settings can be used to create those electro sound effects that run the gamut from

squeaky to wild pitch sweeps.

 ATK (Attack): Sets the attack time of the pitch envelope. Sets the time taken to reach peak

amplitude after a note is played.

 DEC (Decay): Sets the decay time of the pitch envelope. Sets the time taken for the amplitude

to ramp down to the sustain level.

 STN (Sustain): Sets the sustain time of the pitch envelope, as a percentage of peak amplitude.

 RLS (Release): Sets the release time of the pitch envelope. Sets the time taken for signal

amplitude to ramp back down to zero.

Pitch Modulators

 BND (Bender): Sets the amount of note interval when the pitchbend wheel is dragged up or

down.

 AFT (Aftertouch to LFO): Sets the amount of vibrato when pressure is applied after the

keyboard has been struck.

 MDW (Modulation Wheel to LFO): Sets the amount of vibrato when the modulation wheel

is dragged up.

 ATP (Aftertouch to Pitch): Sets the amount of pitch rise when pressure is applied after the

keyboard has been struck.

Pitch Main

 TRP (Transpose): This transposes the oscillator to a maximum of one octave up or down in

semitone intervals.

 TUN (Tune): Sub-semitone tuning control to a maximum of -50 or +50 cent resolution.

Oscillator Filter

The filter, as its name implies, removes unwanted frequencies and also allows you to boost certain

frequencies. Which frequencies are removed and which are left depends on the type of filter used.

Most analogue synths only have one filter per voice (except modular designs, of course) and a good

many of those are limited to the low-pass type.

The synthesizers have a switchable filter type, but even then it will be the low-pass filter which gets

most use. The filter section of most synthesizers can be modulated by envelopes, LFOs, the

keyboard, or other controls such as the modulation wheel. The Blue Orb Trilogy synthesizers have

this possibility.

Filter Envelope

 ATK (Attack): Sets the attack time of the filter envelope. Sets the time taken to reach

peak amplitude after a note is played.

 DEC (Decay): Sets the decay time of the filter envelope. Sets the time taken for the amplitude

to ramp down to the sustain level.

 STN (Sustain): Sets the sustain time of the filter envelope, as a percentage of peak amplitude.

 REL (Release): Sets the release time of the filter envelope. Sets the time taken for signal

amplitude to ramp back down to zero.

Filter Modulators

 VEL (Velocity to Filter): Sets the cutoff frequency of the sound depending on how hard the key

is struck. The effect of this parameter is only noticeable when the TVF Cutoff fader is set at a

very low value.

 AFT (Aftertouch to Filter): Sets the amount of cutoff frequency when pressure is applied

after the keyboard has been struck.

 MDW (Modulation Wheel to Filter): Sets the amount of cutoff frequency when the

modulation wheel is dragged up or down.

Filter Main

 CTF (Cutoff): Sets the cutoff frequency of the dynamic low pass filter. This filter is

modulated by the filter envelope.

 RES (Resonance): Sets the resonance amount of the dynamic low pass filter. This filter is

modulated by the filter envelope.

 SNS (Filter Envelope Sensitivity): Sets the filter envelope amount.

Filter Display

This display shows the type of

filter that was selected in the

Filter Type Menu.

TIP: Click in the middle of the

waveform display to open the

Filter Type menu.

The available filters are:

 LOW PASS FILTER: This is a filter that passes low frequency signals and attenuates signals with

frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency.

 HI PASS FILTER: Is a Filter that passes high-frequency signals but attenuates signals with

frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency.

 BAND PASS FILTER: This is a filter that passes frequencies within a certain range and rejects

frequencies outside that range.

Mono

Mono is a function that when switched on, only one note can be played at one time

(monophonic). When switched off, the instrument can play multiple notes at one time

(polyphonic).

MODE

TIP: Point the mouse pointer to the MODE/NOTE display and drag up or down to change the setting.

1. OFF: Turns the Mono Mode off.

2. ON: Turns the Mono Mode on. This will always trigger a new sample.

3. LEG (Legato): Does not trigger new samples.

4. OFFST (Offset): Will trigger a new sample with a sample start offset,

determined by the length of the previous held note . Offset only works

in sampler mode!

NOTE

Note Priority: Defines which note is played when releasing a key, while a different note is held. The

availabe settings are: LAST, NEXT, LOW and HIGH.

Portamento

Portamento is a musical term that describes pitch sliding from one note to another. It is also

named as glissando as well as the glide function on synthesizers.

TIP: Point the mouse pointer to the MODE display and drag up or down to change the setting.

MODE

1. OFF: Turns Portamento off

2. ON: Turns Portamento on

3. AUTO: Only legato played notes will be played Portamento.

REL

Relative switch: When switched on, the glide time will increase with the interval. The REL switch

is only accessible when the MODE setting is set to ON or AUTO and will be reset to OFF when the

MODE setting is set to OFF.

Time

Sets the glide time between notes when portamento is on. When REL is switched on, the glide time

will increase with the note interval, otherwise the glide time will stay constant regardless of the

interval. The TIME knob is only accessible when the MODE setting is set to ON or AUTO. The TIME

knob will be reset to 0 when the MODE setting is set to OFF.

UNISONO

The term unisono is used to describe two or more oscillators/voices that are slightly detuned in

correspondence to each other, which makes the sound fatter.

The Saffron synthesizer can use up to 8 unisono voices.

TIP: Point the mouse pointer to the VOICES display and drag up

or down to change the setting.

VOICES

Sets the number of voices played when pressing a key. A maximum of 8 voices can be set.

DET

Detune: Sets the detuning between voices. When used in combination with the VOICES parameter

and with a saw type waveform, this parameter can be used to make those fat supersaw sounds used

in dance music.

SPRD

Spread: Sets the panorama spreading between voices. With a high setting, this makes the patch

sound very wide.

LFO

A Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) is a very common modulator available on most synthesizers.

Basically, an LFO is an oscillator which works at a set slow rate (perhaps between 0.1Hz to 10 Hz).

Saffron uses 2 different LFO types, a Pitch LFO and a Filter LFO. The Pitch LFO is used to make vibrato

effects. The Filter LFO is very well suited to make those typical wobble sounds and effects that are

used in Dubstep music. The Filter LFO Rate is hardwired to the Modulation wheel so the speed of the

Filter LFO can be modulated by the Modulation Wheel.

At the top right corner of the LFO section, you will find

2 switches ‘P’ and ‘F’, ‘P’ stands for ‘Pitch’ and ‘F’ for

‘Filter’ To be able to edit the parameters of the Pitch

LFO, be sure that the ‘P’ switch is turned on (lights up).

To be able to edit the parameters of the Filter LFO, be

sure that the ‘F’ switch is turned on (lights up).

INT

Intensity: This knob controls how large the parameter changes caused by the modulation signal

changes will be.
