This should prove out to be interesting:
http://www.midiwall.com/gear/misc/20090721_TubeHeadDemo.mp3
Five segments, setup like this:
- Semi mellow patch running an arpeggiation
- starts with no effect
- DRIVE is about 70%
- BLEND is increased to only effect
- DRIVE comes up to 100%
- Silly notes with bad playing
1) no effect
2) DRIVE = 70%, BLEND = 100%
3) DRIVE = 100%, BLEND = 100%
- note the noise level
4) DRIVE = 90%, BLEND = 100%
- this is appx the max that you can set DRIVE and still
keep the output gate closed to clamp the noise
Hope that helps!
