ENSEMBLE

What it does

Copies drifting past each other: a modulated delay with RATE, DEPTH in milliseconds, and MIX. The ensemble sound on a string pad, the width on a lead, the thickness on a bass if you keep the depth small.

DEPTH 6 ms, RATE 0.8 Hz is the classic string machine
On a bass keep DEPTH under 2 ms or the low end wobbles

Where it goes

PADSINSTRUMENTSCHANNELSBUSESMASTER

Four to a socket, in order: sound runs through the slots top to bottom. Open the box and every knob is in real units; BYPASS takes it out of the path without losing its settings; the presets are along the top; any knob learns a controller and gets an automation lane.
