Play a note when you want to start the recording, and move the modulation wheel slowly upward while keeping the key on the keyboard depressed. Notice the sound variations you create while moving the modulation wheel.
At the end of the recording, return the wheel to its initial starting position and, after you release the depressed note, click the R button to deactivate the recording mode.
To give the very dry-sounding “0001 raw pad” setting a little more stereo breadth and chorus effect, modulate the Pickup positions, and assign them to the left and right channels.
In Logic Pro, load the “0001 raw pad” setting.
Drag the Spread Pickup semicircle upward until the light blue dots come to rest near the line that separates both semicircles.
This separates the stereo pan positions of the Pickups.
You can make the sound more animated with some subtle modulation, which makes the jitter modulators the perfect tool for the job. The jitter modulators are basically LFOs that use a random waveform.
In Logic Pro, click the Jitter button below the LFO section to activate the display for both of the jitter modulators.
Click the 1 button to turn on the first link in Jitter 1, and choose Object1 Timbre from the Target pop-up menu.
Drag the slider below the Target pop-up menu to −0.40 to adjust the Intensity, and reduce the Rate parameter to 1 Hz. There should be subtle inconsistencies in the pressure applied by the bow to the string. To better recognize this effect, temporarily increase the Intensity level.
You can use the second jitter modulator for random position deviations with the modulation target Pickup Pos A+B (pickup position A and B).
Activate Jitter 2 and choose the Pickup Pos A+B setting from the Target pop-up menu.
