Description

Learn the function of and how to use the Voicing control

The Voicing control allows you to choose the inversion of the chord. Rotating the dial upward will leap-frog the lowest sounding note to the highest, creating a 1st inversion. Rotating more will create second inversion and so on. The same is true in the opposite direction.

Learn the function of and how to use the Parts control

The Parts dial allows you to choose the number of notes played in each chord. The lowest being 3 notes and the highest 7.

Learn the function of and how to use the Transpose control

The Transpose control rotates the circles of fifths one semitone at a time. This simply transposes all chords.

Learn the function of and how to use the Maj/min - Aug/dim control

When switched to Maj/min all chords will be based on either Major or minor chords depending on where the selector 'ball' is on the circles of fifths. The same is true for Aug/dim chords.

Learn the function of and how to use the Sus control

Switching the Sus toggle on or off moves from suspension chords (sus4) to fifth-axis

Learn how to effectively use the Lisajous LFO to control Riemann

The Lisajous LFO is a great module. It can be used to create a wide variety of organic sounding control voltages. This is excellent for a complex module like Riemann.

You can watch a full tutorial I did on the Lisajous LFO here - Lisajous LFO Tutorial
