The Trumpet<br />
Back in Lesson Two we asked you to describe the basic wave<br />
shapes provided by the <strong>GAIA</strong> Oscillator.<br />
Then we referred to the Sawtooth wave as something that<br />
sounded “brass like.”<br />
Let’s confirm that idea. Initialize the Patch and press the Octave<br />
Down button once.<br />
Now play a phrase like this: (note the bass clef)<br />
Yes, it sounds much like a tuba. Not a good tuba, but you can<br />
now understand why we refer to the Sawtooth wave as “brass<br />
like.”<br />
So let’s use this knowledge and try to re-create a trumpet sound<br />
with the <strong>GAIA</strong>.<br />
Press the Octave Up button twice, so that the keyboard is now<br />
one octave higher than normal, and play this phrase: (treble clef).<br />
Audio 5.1 Low Sawtooth Phrase<br />
Audio 5.2 High Sawtooth Phrase<br />
The sound is still “brass like” but you would hardly call it a<br />
trumpet. So now we introduce a useful catch phrase:<br />
“What’s Wrong With This <strong>Sound</strong>?”<br />
