The goal is to be able to hear something in your head and go straight to the device and create it. There are very few effect sounds (or analog synth sounds) that I cannot hear and create a mental list of the settings that will recerate that sound (more or less). This may sound like a slow process but in the long run it is much more efficient. After you have explored all of the parameters, repeat the process exploring the impact of changing two at a time.etc etc ertc. Spend 15 minutes or so doing this to each paramter, each time returning to the base setting as a comparison and only exploring one parameter at a time. return it to the base setting and listen again, Increase it by 20% etc etc. Increase it by no more than 10% and listen to the change in the effect. Choose the feedback control as an example. Then selct one parameter - lets say its a delay block. Liten to the change between the block switched on and off.
In helix there are settings in place on each block when you load it. What I mean is, dont try to do this in practice time or at a rehearsal. It was actually learning to operate analog synthesizers that taught me how to do this better.īasically, put aside time that is solely for learning the device. When I first started out (back beforer electricity was dicovered) I was undisciplined with new devices and would make multple changes without really understanding the impact. I think there is value in actually learning what each parameter does rather than having someone elses settings.
