A sound designed for the Continuum and Kyma, a variation of the Tau Trombone sound I posted earlier in 2006. In this version, !KeyTimbre no longer controls pan position but has instead is mapped to a high pass filter and modulation index of a VCF to simulate a mute on the trombone, or at least my mental recollection of what that would sound like. It wasn't important to me to be absolutely accurate.
Demo 1 is a real time improvisation showing various pitch slides and articulations, moving back and forth from muted to unmuted timbres.
Demo 2 is a real time improvisation highlighting a cool feature on the Continuum, the dynamic sustain pedal. Think of it as a normal sustain pedal with an adjustable level. The sustain level can be adjusted after the note has sounded. For instance, with the sustain pedal set to 50% when a note is released it will sustain at 50% of the maximum "z" level. The sustain pedal can then be moved to alter that relative "z" value, 100% to zero. When it reaches zero the note terminates. This sustain feature is great for creating clusters. Since this Kyma sound's Midivoice is set to 3, when the fourth note is hit the oldest one drops out.
