  • @benja303

    Summary: Make your sounds more Life like, make them evolve on a macro and micro level
    -Adding More release so it doesnt cut off so abrutly.
    -Adding a little attack to remove some click
    Reducing release to make it more life Like.
    Things sound realistic and life like because they have dynamics.
    Make soubds velocity sensitive.
    Cntrl and draw aumation line.
    Use the velocity to modulate paramters so some notes have slightly different wave forms than others Modulate the oscilator. Try maybe modulating a filter.
    Allow the velocity to mess with the Unison amount or even just draw in and automate other effects like reverb.
