Nebulae Programs from Steve Howell interesting discovery

Post by Jokeyman123 »

After auditioning once more the incredibly beautiful Nebulae collection of programs I made a rather interesting discovery.

Many programs if not designed carefully, within the Fusion and in many keyboards, will create an audible break or even more disturbing click when switching between continually played programs. However, not only did Steve Howell design all of these to make literally no breaks when switching between his programs, the transitions are so smooth-you can create a distinct "morphing" effect by holding down 1-2 keys, switching to another program, holding another key, and continuing. I found no limitations (except for my 10 fingers) to this working, with an amazing combination of sounds and due to the Fusion's seemingly endless polyphony. Even skipping between the Nebulae banks for example from A-1 to H-whatever-the sound transition was amazingly beautiful-and he balanced the program dynamics, so creating a morphing type sound with several different programs did not cause any particular program to jump out dynamically-the transitions and blendings are so perfect-one can create an entirely different morphing effect infinitely, depending upon how nimble-fingered you are. What a delightful surprise, especially since these individual programs are some of the most beautiful I've ever heard. Combining them like this is IMO, with such careful programming-its almost as if he programmed these, knowing this rather advanced way of playing his sounds would be possible. Truly impressive. Thanks Jesse for reminding me to check these out again. This keyboard never ceases to amaze me. And its programmers. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
