- Quote from the original Roland D-70 brochure, May 1992:
DLM (Differential Loop Modulation) lets you create your own customized waveforms for synthesis. DLM's start point and loop length parameters allow you to specify the part of a waveform you want to use. Then complex looping functions using advanced interpolation technology truncate and modulate the part you select to create a new waveform. The resulting waveform includes many inharmonic partials, ideal for TVF processing or producing unique sounds such as a ring modulation effect. DLM features two modes, each with definable Start Point (0-127) and Length (o-128), giving you 32,768 different combinations of DLM parameters from a single waveform to make your sound creation possibilities practically limitless.
You can use DLM to modify any of the D-70's internal and external sounds, and by processing DLM-modified sounds with the TVF you can produce extreme tonal changes. For instance, you can turn an acoustic piano into a synthesized brass sound, or even a crash cymbal into a distorted guitar! Because DLM is an intuitive and simple process, it's easy to experiment and explore the wide variety of new sounds you can create.
Totally usable for old school bombap or modern ambient drone music. Too bad Roland didn't make a module version of it.
I guess these sounds were too avant-garde for the musicians / times back then.
Just like 'edmx' I was very curious.
More over, I couldn't find examples, sounds or video's about this, until now!
Big thanks!
always wanted to find out about this....
Beautiful But Why?
I guess its the harmonic distortion playing your synapses….
Es…es ist wunderschön🥹
