DESCRIPTION

This is a Block emulation of Roland's MC-202 Synth, but with elements of their SH-101 as well.

One of the special things about the 202 is the ability to delay the onset of the LFO. This delay is achieved by an ADSR Decay - labeled ‘Decay-> SLEW’, modulating the SLEW in a CVP - labeled ‘CVP for LFO Delay’.The LFO and Delay settings are on the second row of Blocks.

Much of the top row tries to emulate the settings of the MC-202:

MOD Pitch - just labeled MOD on the 202 - the 'Level' knob controls how much the LFO Modulates the pitch.

PW Manual - labeled Pulse Width on the 202 - the 'Level' knob modulates the Pulse Width amount. I have used the system on the 202 where switches switch between LFO, MAN, and ENV as the modulation sources. These are selected by the Switch V1 in the second row. This was made by Jason Leiter

The Multiwave OSC is ideal as it has a Pulse, Saw and Sub just like the 202. In addition the Noise emulates the SH-101.

The Filter can be modulated on the original 202 by ENV, MDO, and KYB. On the Blocks version they are labeled ENV, MOD FILT and KYBD. As before, I have used the 'Level' knobs from a CVP to control how much modulation is going to the filter

Unlike the MC-202 or SH-101 there are seaprate ADSRs for Amplitude modulation and a second one which behaves like the original ADSR.

The folder includes some 'Preset Mapping' nrkt files that can be used in Maschine 2.3.1 and Komplete Kontrol 1.2.0. Put them in your 'User Content' folders and rescan this folder in your Preferences in Maschine and Komplete Kontrol. The reason I used the CVPs is because their Level knobs can be automated, and so they are ideal to use as ‘Modulation Amount’ controls for live tweaking but also sound design.

I will upload a 'sequencer' version of this in a few days.
