I thought one or two of you might appreciate this.
The FR777 is a versatile, table-top monosynth/sequencer, ostensible a "303
on steroids" but really nothing like that at all--sure, it can sound just
like a 303, but whatever--that's about 1% of its ability.
ANYWAY--I was making some hi-hat patterns with it using noise and a bit of
self-oscillation from the filter (oscs turned off), and I realized that
pitch CVs are always assigned to steps... CV out to the 1/V/OCT in of the
MOTM-420 set to self-oscillate... oh yeah baby. I went back and programmed
"desired" pitch information into the FR777 and had a great groove going in
no time at all. Also, I altered the FR777 patch, bringing in the oscillators
and turning down the noise, and of course the 420 filter was tracking
perfectly. It was a great, rich unison sound from all participants.
Voltage control is cool. ;)
