Well OK.
Here's one approach...
1. Use one layer of the TKB to control volume. Set all the knobs on
that layer to fully-on.
2. Send that voltage to one of the VCA's in your UPAP.
3. Send your audio signal into that VCA, then send the output into
another VCA that your DADSR or DTG is enveloping the audio with.
Now to 'turn off' or silence any sequencer step in your melody just turn
off the layer you used for step 1 above. The advantage here is, in
addtion to creating a 'rest' beat(s) wherever you want, you can also
create accenting... daDA DADAda ... by varying the volume control
stage pot on the TKB.
More efficiently, this could also be done with one VCA if you can mix DC
signals together ... You mention you have an inverter/processor.. can
that combine control voltages? I have a Dual Processor & a CV mixer
that do that. Anyway take the TKB volume control layer and your ADSR
and mix them together, biasing the whole thing by -5v, and use this to
control a VCA for your audio. You should only hear notes where the TKB
volume control stage is fully on. This can do the 'accenting' as above.
It's also fun to use another TKB layer (by layer I mean the A,B,C,D rows
of 16 steps going across) to control pan position. Makes your sequence
dance nicely!
All the above needs only simple TKB patching... clock the clock input
like you always do, and set the sequence length using a stage output &
reset input, or just run 16 step sequences.
Good luck!
