Heres a thought,
I am using a Roland M-181 controller to control my MOTM when not using my
Kenton Converter. I have enough modules now to make 2 basic voice set ups
and I want to have 2 sounds coming out of the MOTM at the same time and with
my keyboard controller split midway to control both using the 700 switch
module. I have not tried it but I will next time I'm in my studio. Heres a
description of my thoguths about patching order.
I would have to patch the CV into the X input and the gate into the Y input
on the 700. Now I can run the A CV and Gate outs of the switch to one voice
setup and the B CV and Gate outs of the switch to the second voice setup.
For the CV input to control the switch I patch in the 1v/oct CV from my
controller keyboard and set the switch points for both sections to rollover
at middle C on my keyboard. Now if I play below middle C, I will hopefully
only trigger the bass voice and associated modules in my system and when
playing middle c or above I hope to trigger the lead voice modules.
Does this make sense? I can't wait to try it and even if it doesn't work
exactly like I said can someone give a few pointers to make it? ha! I love
my MOTM and I have been trying to look past the common ways to use it that I
have begun to take for granted (only a little) to find new uses.
PAUL, I have to interject that the Infra-red controller module thing I was
able to acquire through Frostwave, Aus would make a great MOTM module. With
the infra red beams, you get a fairly direct response range in front of the
sensors and if it was an MOTM panel in the upper left of anyones cabinet, it
could be a great handsfree controller that produces footpedal or joystick
like pitch bend and makes you look like you are trying to cast a spell on
your MOTM! You can get pretty close to the thing as long as careful and not
set off any otf the triggers or cv's. They did a good job with the module,
but I know you could add a few features and make some sort of excellent
controller module maybe down the line. Just a thought since I can't stop
waving down these busses and taxi's in front of my modular with no one
looking. Maybe to mod it to be a voltage controlled LFO onboard to increase
rate of modulation as hands begin to fly.
(Side note= The frostwave thing would not be so fun without my MOTM. Please
make sure to have a big ass modular to plug this into if you get one and
preferrably MOTM.) Sure joysticks are fun but this thing is the ultimate in
clean, look ma no hands :~)
