Ocean Waves

Post by Lengai » Fri Jul 08, 2005 7:57 pm

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to make ocean wave sounds with the Voyager? I have never tried it before so I'm not sure how to program that type of sound. My wife was listening to a relaxation CD earlier this week and the idea of making waves on the Voyager has been on my mind ever since.

If anyone can help me out on how to accomplish this (if it's even possible) I'd love to know how to do it.

Thanks!

I guess you can get a good result by using the noise generator and the touchpad. Someone else might be able to elaborate on this.

yes! I done it!

turn off all OSCs, turn noise generator ON, and play with the filters, filter envelope, AND VCA envelope. touchpad is ok for oceanesque sounds but, the attack is pretty edgey...I wouldn't use it for that :+)

have fun!

Feed only noise into the filter. Use a slow LFO to modulate the filter cutoff frequency by a triangle wave. Use a very long Release on the VCA and don't use the filter ADSR or Emphasis (Resonance) that much. Hit a key and relax ;-)
keep on turning these Moog knobs
