MPE Sound Design in Surge XT: Cello

Описание: In this episode, we'll synthesize the basic cello sound with a modulated pulse wave and lowpass filter, then look at some methods for modeling the resonances of the cello body and bow noise, and finally we'll employ some advanced curve techniques to achieve more realistic and playable single-string articulations when playing monophonically.
