aaah s#!t... here we go again.
STANK-FACE GUARANTEED.
JOURNEYMAN is a monophonic synthesizer plugin with three oscillators, two ladder filters, two envelopes and two modulation busses. The 200-program factory bank covers basses, leads, mono keys, pads, percussion and FX.
The presets go from round bass and singing leads to struck keys, moving pads, metallic percussion and electronic creatures. Every factory program has its own mod-wheel and touch assignments. The first note is only part of the sound.
200 presets.
fat basses to alien fx.
G-LOW and BOOGIE BASS cover bass; VELOUR SIGNAL and GLIDE LEAD move into leads. TINE has a struck attack and warm decay. MUTED CLAV is short and dry. GLASS FOG and SLOW VOWEL take the bank into moving pads.
The percussion bank gets into wood, metal, glass, noise and tuned membrane sounds. EIGHT-OH LONG has a pitched knock and a long, rounded bass tail. PAPER SNAP is a bright, papery crack.
Then there are the 20 FX programs: laser shots, robot voices, alien calls and engines. SPLIT RAY sends two resonant rays falling together. TENTACLE PHONE slides through an alien call with a changing throat. Modulation is part of the performance from the opening notes.

three oscillators.
two ladder filters.
The wave controls sweep continuously from triangle through saw and square to pulse. Set the oscillator ranges, balance them in the mixer, and shape them with the filters. The five-source mixer brings together the three oscillators, noise and external audio.
The two ladder filters sit left and right, with spacing between them for width. Choose dual lowpass or highpass into lowpass. Cutoff, resonance and the filter envelope are on the panel, alongside a separate volume envelope. External audio can come in, or the output can be fed back into itself.
an lfo. two modulation busses.
The mod wheel can bring in pitch vibrato, move the filter or change the oscillator waves. Each bus has its own source, shaping, destination and amount.
Choose triangle, square or sample-and-hold movement from the LFO, or use oscillator 3 and noise as modulation sources. Shape the response with velocity, pressure or the filter envelope.
mod wheel and touch surface.
Every factory program has wheel and touch assignments. Hold a note and bring the wheel up, then back down. Try an overlapping phrase or a slide between registers. Different patches use that movement for vibrato, changing oscillator relationships, filter movement or the timing of an effect.
save, import and export presets.
Build your own patch or change a factory preset, then use SAVE to keep it under USER. OPEN PRESETS FOLDER gives you the files to share, move between computers or back up. Add a preset file to that folder to import it; copy one out to export it.
