Re: [Doepfer_a100] Sync LFO to Midi time code?

2013-09-26 by Bakis Sirros

i'd say 'yes' it does gets expensive fast, but we are not in the Buchla or Serge list...     :-)

So you're saying, take a Gate and send it to the slew limiter and use the
output of that like an LFO? Sounds interesting! The only problem is, I
still need something to generate that constant gate in sync with my Sonar
project. 

Sounds like I need another midi module. Then I could take a cable from
the midi through port of the 190-1 (which I normally have listening on
channel 1) to a 190-2 and have the 190-2 listen on a channel 2, and send
just a repeating note on that channel. Then just use the trigger out of
that module and have it retrigger an lfo, or go to the slew limiter. Or
better yet, an ADSR.

Correct?

Still not ideal but could be good enough since I could actually create
the waveform I want (sort of) with an ADSR.

So.... along with all the other modules I want (and looking all this up I
just noticed Doepfer has a Bit Modifier, so there's another one...) I
need the 190-2 and preferably another a-140. 

Has anyone else noticed that this stuff gets really expensive FAST??? 

Thanks!
Scott

any midi to trigger converter and an LFO with Sync In, you can get a
similar effect.   It requires a but of fine tuning to get a
perfect cycle this way.  Another thing you might try is using a
trigger/gate pattern and a Slew Limiter of some type, as your trigger
pattern can certainly be synced (again, assuming you have some sort of
midi to trigger converter). With the top half of an A-170 Dual Slew you
can get something resembling a sine or parabolic. With the bottom half,
you can get ramp/saw shapes if your gate is long or short enough.
