MOTM

hello wizzzzards of the deep ;o)

i'd like to sync my motm to audio 

i have no idea how :o)

i have a 300 and a 320 module with sync possibilities.

i would like to get a syncing signal out of misc audio and sync the 
300 and or 320 to this, and then use these modules to voltage control 
my other modules.

(i'd like to make remixes of some sort of some dub tracks etc that i 
have on vinyl)

i don' t know if this is possible, but i' d appreciate any input and 
brainstorming!

thank YOU!

hello there,
what you need is a gate extractor

you could get hold of an Oakley EFG envelope follower - and i should point
out that there's a MOTM envelope follower in the pipeline
or you could cobble a patch together using the MOTM700 router to to 'gate' a
voltage source (say from the MOTM830 mixer)
or there are some very simple DIY circuits for deriving a gate or trigger
from an audio signal (think like 3 components)

I'm stupid enough to take a guess at how something like this might work.  I
would think you could run your audio though one of the MOTM LPF filters
until the predominantly left audio was the bass drum thump.  Maybe the bass
drum thump might be clean enough to use for a sync pulse into the 320 to
restart your LFO wave at each thump.  Or, you might be able to set an 850
pedal interface to produce a gate from those peaks.  Might have to rectify
the audio into the 850 first.

i have a motm700 - could you please explain the patch in detail? (i'm 
not sure i understand)

greetz!

thanx larry, i will try your idea!

1. Crank the signal level up to 5 - 10 volts pp with some kind of 
preamp
2. Run into MOTM-820 Lag. Adjust up and down times to suit.
3. Run lag output into MOTM-700 to generate gates.

hello there,

my method, though i've not had chance to test it properly - would be to feed
some of your audio directly into the CV in of your motm700, but first filter
it to get a good trigger signal, so you could use a band pass filter, the EQ
on your mixing desk, an expander, or probably a motm410 with the rate &
sweep set to zero - using any of these methods you should be able to zoom in
to the rhythmic elements you want to trigger from. then route a voltage
source into input A of the motm 700, this voltage could be from an ungated
motm800 with sustain set to 10, or could be the voltage offset from the 830
mixer, connect output X from the 700 into another 800 gate input, then
adjust the motm 700 threshold control until you get a suitable trigger. the
output of the second motm800 should be your sync-ed voltage ramp.

of course dub is rather difficult to sync to live, and i'd much prefer to
dump the whole thing into a computer, and sync via midi, but if you're DJing
this stuff live, then i'd really consider getting an envelope follower /
gate extractor, and a band pass filter
