Well, been a bit quiet, partly because I took a break to go to Andorra to spend some time walking in the mountains, and partly, having now got the CDP package set, I wanted to run through the basic tutorials.

This software is incredibly deep, and offers a level of control I’ve rarely seen before. It really does encourage you to think very hard about what you want to achieve with your modifications of sounds.

Not a Samba, nor one note, but here is the outcome of a test I set myself. I started with one note from a DX7 -type FM Rhodes piano sound from a softsynth (which I didn’t use in the final exercise), the following is what I came up with by barely scratching the surface of the CDP package. Short, but points well for my future learning with this tool.
