Manipulating gestures - two examples

 Here are two Lead presets intended to give you some idea how gestures can be manipulated in your custom made presets.


In the "ModdedWhistle" preset file the important parameters are "noiseMix" in the synthPatch section along with "modSource3_3Destination" and "modSource3_3Weight" which point the gesture to the noise effect. The "seekerEntry"s also needed to instigate getting data of tilt motion so it can be used - in this case it points to the midi code "74".

In the BladeTest the "ringMod" parameter is used instead of "noiseMix" - but the same priciple is used.

(There is a more generalised account of this in the reference document I have previously posted here.)


Although they were only made to demonstrate using tilt to add a gesture effect you are welcome to make use of them in your own music if you wish, or you can play with the parameter values and see what happens. If not, you can easily delete them in the Connect app. Since they only use the synth, no samples, you only need the one file for each to use them. Add them to the Lead folder in your User Artiphon folder. They have been tested on an Orba 2, but they should be fine on a Chorda.

Chords for the Chorda

This is about ten chord presets for the Chorda. Before you get too excited they all use the same sounds - a sample set for a section of strings. I didn't like the stringed instrument sounds on the Orba or Chorda so I have tried to get something I prefer. This is, I think, a good albeit synthy string sound. You can get an idea how it sounds at my previous post "A little thing you can do with Chorda Chords" although I have tweaked it a bit to sound and play better now. Since the sound "CelloBlue" sample set was working well I decided to try some things with chords and here we have the results. https://www.mediafire.com/file/saz9l1tjnlg6dnr/the_Blue_set.zip/file But I should explain what's there. BlueString-ST simply uses the Artiphon standard chord set - (ST for standard) Since I like flattened sevenths in both scales and chords BlueString-ST-f7 has one on pad 7. (f7 for flattened 7th). Adding Ext to the name means I used a pitch-bend trick so that you can get...

What I do - and you could too

Perhaps I should explain what I have been doing with modified and created presets. Presets that use the built in synth can be made with the Preset Creator. There's not real need to do other than use it, however there are tweaks that can (and perhaps should be done) before they get loaded onto your Orba 2 or Chorda. I always save the product of the Creator app to a working folder and there I can add my own name and description to my work. I mostly add an image to be used in the app for it. Sometimes they are new images of my own, sometimes I re-use existing images from Artiphon. I also ensure that two parameters, "readOnly" and "factory" are set to "0" so that I can tweak the presets later or delete them if I don't like them after all. These things apply to all presets. Presets made in the Creator app use a single sample. That can give good results but it's likely that it doesn't. The recording quality of the samples used is also important s...

A Bunch of presets for your Chordas and Orba 2s

 Here we go, bass presets to enable you to do more, lead presets to have some new sounds and greater range. There's even a drum kit there.  No chord presets though - this is because almost all the ones I have made for the Orba 2 get spoilt by the way the Chorda treats them. When I've got a handle on that I hope to start adding some other treats. Mostly diatonic and with versions that allow you play all those black notes you couldn't before. And a couple of surprises. Bear in mind that if you load the presets that use my samples they will take up storage space on your device. That shouldn't be a problem unless you have been wildly making loads of your own samples - and even then it will probably been some time before it matters. (I have a lot of other sample sets on my testing Orba and it's just fine.) Those that use existing Artiphon samples are no problem. Do read the notes that come with these presets, and you will benefit if you also look at my OrbaAlternatives P...
