Here is a small sequence demoing the wide sonic palette the Malekko/Wiard Anti-Oscillator can produce. Other modules involved : Malekko/Wiard Boogie Filter, Bananalogue Serge VCS, various Cwejman and Doepfer modules. Sequence made with a P3 Sequentix. Effects : Eclipse Eventide.
This question stared after having recorded 4 audio clips from my modular synth in 4 separate audio tracks. I’m wondering how to crossfade between 4 tracks in realtime using the joystick of my FaderFox micromodul LV2 ? A kind of vector mixing between these 4 tracks ?
What I’ve tried first was to make some group tracks:
- Group Track 1 = Track A + Track C
- Group Track 2 = Track B + Track D.
Then I assigned the X MIDI controller of the FaderFox’s joystick to control the level of track A and in opposite the level of track C. I did the same for Track B and D with the Y MIDI controller of the FaderFox’s joystick. But that’s not a true vector crossfader.
I think that the X MIDI controller of the FaderFox’s joystick should also control the level of the Group Track 2 and the same with the Y MIDI controller of the FaderFox’s joystick for the level of the Group Track 1. But then the MIDI controllers values must be mapped to have a special curve …
Instead of thinking about axis (X and Y) where each of the four audio sources is along these axis (axis X : source A & source C – axis Y : source B & source D), the idea was to think about a square where each corner is an audio source. Here is what I’ve done …
I’ve recently bought Thesys plug-in (formely named Eloquence) from Sugar Bytes. The main reasons of my choice are:
direct integration in a VST host (ableton Live);
good replacement of my Sequentix P3 when I’m travelling;
each sequencer’s line can have its own independant loop (which is missing in the Sequentix P3).
In this small demo, Thesys sequencer is driving a sample set done on my modular synth (from what I can recall a Plan B Model 15 and a Doepfer filter were used). I started with on of the factory preset, tweak it, put some random lines, and … that’s it !
