Arp gate time as patchcord destination

Arp gate time as patchcord destination

2006-12-18 by gonzinigonz

can this be done from an LFO source somehow?
I only see arp gate time as a destination from the assignable knobs, 
not in the patchcord destinations.

Im having loads fun a quasimidi 309 with the XL-7 using the arps n 
stuff.

It´s not posible to stablish the LFO as a source, and the gate time as a destination. but you can route the LFO to the amp decay time or amp release to obtain a similar result.

I didnt think there was having been all over it.
Just liked the effect of varing the gate time.
No worries l'll just record the knob movements in, no big deal

Thanks for bringing up this thread. Just for the fun of it, I took an 
arp and routed lfos (free-run mode) to freq cut off on different 
layers. Got some neat presets. --Steve

Hours of fun :o)
Its all about movement for me, l like some stuff to be changing texture 
wise and musically. 
The waldorf XT's good at this as you can step through wavetables which 
can be modulated by pretty much anything else. Its never the same twice 
if you want it to be that way.
I have heard some very similar wavetable type sounds out the XL-7, 
though their not as raw as with the XT.
Ive gone back to basics with gear as im just starting up again.
Only got a quasimidi 309 and a Roland JD990 hocked up to the command 
station at the moment.
Just been using the command station as a controller / seq with the arps 
running the other stuff, so not using any internal sounds yet.
Thats why i cant use the LFO to modulate the XL's VCA stages to achieve 
what i wanted to do.
Wonder why some other sources / destinations were never implemented?
Dont think it would be hardware related as this should be a software 
thing i would imagine.
You cant have all! ;O)
