"ElectroDrome" is a new soundset of 64 programs for the Kurzweil PC3 and Forte series, exploring the deep sonic ressources of the VAST synthesis. It uses high speed modulations by some tricks, allowing contemporary sounds for modern tracks.
This soundset is the result of months of tests and deep DSP programming to achieve things that were seen on other dedicated instruments...
In this set, you will find some nervous leads, big lush pads, strong basses, snappy synths, crazy FX, percussive electronic drums and a lot of other things for your productions.
And above all this, everything is done in pure VAST, meaning there is not a single sample involved in what your hear.
Just a few basic waveforms from the ROM have been used as modulators...(Yes, drums are pure VAST too...!)
Each sound comes with an array of realtime controls and you will be able to adjust the tone easily.
The faders have the same functions on all the programs, it's much more easy to remember !
They will allow you to adjust the post filter, EQ and auxiliary effects send levels.
Let's check the virtual rack, representing the faders' functions :

FILTER :
MIX :
This setting will allow you to blend your original sound with the FX multimode filter.
With settings different than 0% (dry) or 100%(wet), you will have a lot of original textures.
Of course, the result will also depends on the filter type...
TYPE :
The filter is coming straight from the Kurzweil effect, and you can change in real time the filter response.
You can select LPF, HPF, BPF and NOTCH by just moving the slider.
CUTOFF :
Adjust the filter cutoff frequency.
RESONANCE :
Adjust the peak point at the filter cutoff frequency.

EQUALIZER :
This section uses a 3 bands equalization stage. The settings of each part is set as follow :
LOW :
Low shelving EQ, set to 92 Hz, gain from -12dB to +12dB
MID :
Mid band EQ, set to 988 Hz, bandwith is 2.5 Oct, gain from -12dB to +12dB
HIGH :
High shelving EQ, set to 9956 Hz, gain from -12dB to +12dB

HIGH :
High shelving EQ, set to 9956 Hz, gain from -12dB to +12dB
AUX EFFECTS :
This section allows you to set the send levels to the 2 auxiliary effects.
For more informations on the Aux FX 1 & 2 used in this soundset, please refers to the 'electrodrome_controls' PDF file in the
Utility Files section above. You will also find useful informations on the additionnal controls settings like the pitchwheel, modwheel, switch and aftertouch.
As usual, you have a parameter feedback on the screen of your instrument to check what you are doing !

The insert effects chains :
I think i should give you some last infos about the insert effects chains used in ElectroDrome because they can't be changed in real time, all the hard controllers are already used ! These informations may be useful if you want to swap / change the insert effect in a program and you may find the naming of these insert effects not clear enough...

Ok, now it's time for you to explore this set and i hope you will have some fun using it.
I also hope you will discover an alternate side of your Kurzweil !
Thanks for your time !
