We woke up one morning and decided that we, who have never played the electric guitar, should make a bunch of electric guitar instruments for Picotron. We are releasing all of these under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
Contained in the set are two versions of an FM electric guitar patch, one using 3 nodes per voice and one containing 2 nodes per voice, used to create 22 27 Picotron instruments:
- clean and clean 2 (the 2 versions use the simplified 2-node patch);
- space (stacked echo effects);
- vibrato;
- tremolo;
- "wahmelo" (we couldn't figure out how to make a real wah effect but what we did make sounded cool);
- chorus and chorus 2;
- drive, drive power chords, drive tritones;
- drive 2, drive 2 power chords, drive 2 major chords, drive 2 diminished chords;
- fuzz;
- fuzz 2, fuzz 2 power chords, fuzz 2 tritones;
- fold, fold power chords, and fold tritones; and
- palm mute, palm mute 2, palm mute 2 power chords, fuzz mute 2, and fuzz mute 2 power chords (new in v1.1.1!).
It should be fairly simple to convert the power chord or tritone patches to other intervals by changing the TUNE knob values and to change the frequency of vibrato, tremolo, and 'wahmelo' by changing the ENV-3 LFO frequency; I imagine other changes will not be difficult either.
If you have questions, suggestions, or comments on any of it, please share!
"Drive 2 Major" gives me major Truxton on the Sega Genesis vibes. Pretty cool!
Thank you very much for your work.
Since I am someone clueless in instrument making, you have saved me lots of clueless suffering (before I'd probably give up).
