NB: This Bank B has entirely been created using the editor.
This is my favorite patch in that bank. It illustrates what the Manatee can do like a warm FM full body pad (that you can do on a DX synth) but with an aggressive attack and subtle spectral decay and movement that only the Manatee can do AFAIK.
Thanks to Fred’s Lab for providing me with the MIDI NRPN (and CC) specifications.
