By Sam Mims

Hackerpatch is intended to be a place where patch vendors can show then-

wares and musicians can share their goodies and impress their friends.

Patches designated "ESQ-1" wiU also work on the SQ-80. The reverse is not

always true. Once something's published here, it's free for aU. Please don't

submit patches that you know to be minor tweaks on copyrighted commer

cial patches unless you have permission from the copyright owner. AU sub

mitted patches are subject to consideration for mutilation and comments by

Sam Mims-our resident patch analyst. If you send in a patch, please include

your phone number. Requests for particular patches are also very welcome.

SQ-80 Patch: HYMN

chorus sound. As the wheel is turned toward you, a pipe organ kicks

The Hack

ESQ Patch: PABIMS

by Steve Munro, Guilderland Center, NY

I wanted a keyboard sound using the "round sound" of square

waves, but mellow, especially in the low end. So, oscillators 1 and 3

use the SQUARE! waveform, and are beefed up by OSC 2 using the

SINE wave, with SEMI=07. LEO 2 handles the panning, and the

mod wheel adds vibrato via LEO 3. ENV1 gives the ﬁlter velocity

control and release time.

The Hack

Turning on the AM on the MODES page gives PABIMS less of a

round sound, and turning SYNC on gives yet another nice variation.

I also liked changing the ﬁlter parameters for another variation; try

FREQ=100, RES=31. To smooth out the sotmd into more of a pad,

try changing T1 on the ENV 4 page to 22, and T4 to 32.1 also had

fun changing the waveforms of oscillators 1 and 3; this works best

on an SQ-80, with SAW 2, VOICE3, and BREATH waves.

The SQ-80's "R" feature on the T4 envelope parameters adds a

great reverb simulation to patches, and it makes quite a difference

on this one. Other than that, ESQ users can type this one straight in.

I'd suggest a T4 value of 34 for ENV 4, to simulate the ambience of

Craig's patch. The VOICE 3 wave works nicely in OSC 1 and 2 if

you want a more breathy new-age sotmd. Alternatively, try replac

ing the ORGAN of OSC 3 with BREATH 3, and changing its OCT

to -1; this creates a nice fat vocal sotmd. For even more breath, set

the ﬁlter resonance to 31, and the cutoff FREQuency to 90. To turn

Craig's original choir into a chorus of un

derwater mermaids, simply turn the AM
