      Hello everyone,

      who could either give an algorithm or advice to create a swell or violoning effect with the H90 .

      Thanks

      Thierry

      There is an UltraTap preset called “Ultraswell” that should do the trick.

      You can also check out the new PolySynth algorithm and that can give you some violin swell style effects. Start with the “PWM Strings” preset, turn the attack up for a slower swell, and adjust the filter cutoff/resonance to taste.

      Hello ,

      I’m going to try the PolySynth algorithm.
      I had tried with the ultra tap without results because there are many parameters.
      Thanks for your help.

      PolySynth is a good route to take, but don’t give up on UltraTap (or DynaVerb) just yet.  Here’s a little “test” Program I just put together:

      https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/44ap1ndcafjgve75ac2e9/UltraTap-DynaVerb-Swells.pgm90?rlkey=s1mr133ejndeyxq3rywsi40kb&raw=1

      UltraTap & DynaVerb in parallel.  You can bypass either one in the Performance Switches, or dial the (P) Hotknob to 0 OR 100.

      Everyone’s playing style and system specifics are different.  So the critical adjustments will be:

      • The threshold level where the swell will be triggered.
      • The time it will take to swell to full volume.
      • How long it will take to release that for the next swell trigger.

      I mapped the other two HotKnobs to some of those parameters, to make it easier to adjust.

      • (A) HotKnob – UltraTap (Chop) Swell sensitivity & Rise time
      • (B) HotKnob – DynaVerb Threshold level & Release time

      I added a few bells ‘n’ whistles to experiment with (expression pedal swells, HotSwitch options for simulating ensemble swells, using diffusion & reverb).

      Hello ,
      thank you for your help and advice, it’s really nice of you. I will try to program the preset that you propose with Ultra Tap, namely that I have no volume pedal.
      But I think you’ve understood.

      Best regards.

      The expression pedal part is just an option, Thierry.  The Program is ready to go, with both UltraTap and DynaVerb active.  Just consider that you may have to adjust the Swell / Threshold parameters to make the best use of your setup.

      Hello ,

      and thanks again for your feedback, I don’t want to seem like a pain. I’m French and even with the translation, I’m having trouble with all these options in Ultra Tap and Dynaverb.
      I’ve tried to open the links you sent me and I can’t open them.
      I’d really like to see the settings you suggest on the application, but I don’t know if that’s possible.

      I won’t take up any more of your time.

      Best regards.

      Thierry

      I am not sure why you can’t open the link, Thierry.  I set it up as a direct download of a Program file, which you can then import into H90 Control.

      When I can, I will take some screenshots of the UltraTap and DynaVerb Presets in that Program, so you can input them into the H90 manually.  Or perhaps I can list each parameter value for you to reconstruct.

      Hello ,
      I didn’t understand how to send your file that I couldn’t open.
      At the moment, it’s the end-of-year holidays, so I’ll check after this period to try to download the file in the application.
      In the meantime, thank you for your precious help.
      I wish you a very happy holiday season.

      Best wishes.

      Thierry
