use_synth :sc808_cowbell
Cowbell of the SC808 drum machine based on Yoshinosuke Horiuchi’s implementation of the legendary rhythm composer from the early 80s. This is a percussive synth, so it does not use the standard envelope parameters, neither does it feature slideable parameters.
Introduced in v4.5
note: |
Note to play. Either a MIDI number or a symbol representing a note. For example:
Default: 79.59
|
detune: |
Distance (in MIDI notes) between components of sound. Affects thickness, sense of tuning and harmony. Tiny values such as 0.1 create a thick sound. Larger values such as 0.5 make the tuning sound strange. Even bigger values such as 5 create chord-like sounds.
Default: -7.084
|
amp: |
The amplitude of the sound. Typically a value between 0 and 1. Higher amplitudes may be used, but won’t make the sound louder, they will just reduce the quality of all the sounds currently being played (due to compression.)
Default: 1
|
pan: |
Position of sound in stereo. With headphones on, this means how much of the sound is in the left ear, and how much is in the right ear. With a value of -1, the sound is completely in the left ear, a value of 0 puts the sound equally in both ears and a value of 1 puts the sound in the right ear. Values in between -1 and 1 move the sound accordingly.
Default: 0
|
hpf: |
High pass filter cutoff value for the cowbell. A MIDI note representing the lowest frequencies allowed to be present in the sound. A high value like 100 makes the sound thin and whispy, a low value like 40 removes just the lower bass components of the sound.
Default: 113
|
decay: |
Amount of decay for the cowbell. Higher numbers increase the decay duration.
Default: 9.5
|
decay_curve: |
Curve value for the decay of the cowbell
Default: -90
|
Any parameter that is slidable has three additional options named _slide, _slide_curve, and _slide_shape. For example, 'amp' is slidable, so you can also set amp_slide, amp_slide_curve, and amp_slide_shape with the following effects:
_slide: |
Amount of time (in beats) for the parameter value to change. A long parameter_slide value means that the parameter takes a long time to slide from the previous value to the new value. A parameter_slide of 0 means that the parameter instantly changes to the new value. Default: 0 |
_slide_shape: |
Shape of curve. 0: step, 1: linear, 3: sine, 4: welch, 5: custom (use *_slide_curve: opt e.g. amp_slide_curve:), 6: squared, 7: cubed. Default: 5 |
_slide_curve: |
Shape of the slide curve (only honoured if slide shape is 5). 0 means linear and positive and negative numbers curve the segment up and down respectively. Default: 0 |
