CV/Gate/Trigger processing

CV/Gate/Trigger processing

2006-01-23 by c10h14no2i

Ive finally got the sound generating part of my synth fairly well
planned, so I was wondering what people thought were some good CV or
gate/trigger processing modules. I first got into synths about 12 or
so years ago, and have been using analog modeling since then. The
sound generation part was easy for me to understand, but all of this
cv and gate processing stuff is very new to me. (other than LFO's and
adsr's, analog modeling doesn't have any of this stuff) I'd like to
hear what other people are having fun with.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott, LFO's and EG's are the core of CV in most synths and are a
good
place to stock up. I like having both syncable and voltage
controllalbe LFO's on hand, and EG's that are VC'able are nice too.
A Sample and Hold is a great flexible module that helps bring the
audio
and CV worlds together, put this on your "need" list. Don't forget
DC
mixers to blend/fine tune these CV's! A pulse divider (running off
your LFO) is great to to get a few different yet related clocks
running
around your synth. And then the big pappa of CV, a sequencer. Even
a
little seq. is great fun. The bigger the better though of
course!!
For the "weirder" territory you have to think what you want to do?
Random chaos stuff?(noise/sh/uncertaintty things) Melodic stuff?
(quantizer) Percussion? (clock dividers, gate seq's)

enjoy, there are so many choices today its hard to narrow it all
down!!

hey scott!

lfo's, env's and sequencers go without saying, you need lots!

i have a LOT of fun with my wiard noise ring. i mainly use it as a cv
source into a blacet/wiard miniwave set to scale quantise mode (i have
the matthew davidson scale quantiser prom) into vco's. instant random
melodies, very nice ;)
