Topic: How to get a bluegrass mandolin "tremelo" sound on Genos?

[Dave Nuttall]

Subject is my question!  Assume R1 or R2.

TIA.

Hi Dave,

I just searched the Genos Data List for the term "mandolin":

There is a voice "MandolinTremolo" in the "A.Guitar" category. Have you already tried this voice?


Best regards,
Chris

I had simply overlooked that!
Will probably try mandolin in R1 and mandolintremolo in R2 and play them together.
Thanks, Chris.

Thanks for your feedback, Dave!

By the way: If you combine a normal Mandolin voice on R1 with the MandolinTremolo voice on R2, you could try setting the EG ATTACK (TIME) parameter to a slightly higher value for the tremolo voice in "Voice Edit > Sound". The tremolo voice on R2 is then slightly delayed so that on short notes you actually only hear the voice of R1.

Hi Dave,
You also may have a voice called Mediterrain on your Genos. It is something I use quite often...
On my S-950 it is in the Choir&Pad voice section.

@Dave
On the Genos you will find the voice "Mediterrain" in the "Pad" voice folder.

P.S.
You could also try using a normal Mandolin voice, but additionally using the Tremolo option of the "Keyboard Harmony/Arpeggio" function ("Menu > Kbd Harmony/Arp > Category "Echo" > Type "Tremolo"). Please see also the attached picture!


Best regards,

Thanks for the tips, Bruce/Chris.
It would have taken me YEARS to ever think about looking in the "Pad" sector!   I simply don't "hear" music with pad sounds.
