    Hey, for anyone watching in 2020, they've updated the vst since then. So if anyone experiences a consistently lingering tone that get's annoying, turn down the input gain all the way on the amplifier. You'll still hear everything because the main volume will still be the same.

I was going totally wacky but your tutorial gavotte spring board to get my head around it. Obviously as my first day I won't remember it all but I'll keep coming back and also trying myself to "toss some spaghetti around".

    1) I'm quite misunderstood - how exactly connect "stop" and "play" jacks in step sequencer to make them playable with my keyboard?
    I'm really confused and see no logic around here, because i need to connect it where exactly?
    I understand, that i can go with anything to "play" jack, but how to stop it properly?
    I mean only when i'm hitting the keys it's making sequence and when i'm releasing keys - it's stops.
    2) How about using it as VST and syncing with DAW tempo?

  • @blu5keezvibes516

    Hello I'm got this with a bundle that came with my Presonus interface. My question is how and when do I use this. I'm using studio one for my DAW and I thought if i just dragged this into the desired track that I choose that I could then play my keyboard but trigger Voltage which seems not to be working? Also if I play something and record it can I just slap this on what I played and try to change it? Thanks for you help and the video was awesome I just could not get it to work tonight.

    What does it mean to connect two outputs to the same input?

    • @dewil7313
      @dewil7313 2 роки тому

      You could connect two (or all) of the oscillators waveform outputs to the input of the amplifier for example. You would have two or more cables going for the input in this case. Makes for a whole different sound than just a sinewave. Or you could try it with LFO ?? ;)

    heyo, thanks for the tutorial!
    Quick question: when I patched the line from pitch, into amplifier, then into MAIN OUTS, the saw sound keeps on playing. It still responds to key triggers, but it just keeps on playing. Any idea how to stop it/make it completely key-trigger only? Cheers

    • @deedee8229
      @deedee8229 4 роки тому

      re the connection:
      just realised that I don't have KEYB CV, but rather just a PITCH CV. Maybe that's the problem?

    • @VenusTheory
      @VenusTheory  4 роки тому +1

      Yo! For that you would need to add an Envelope with the CV modifying the Amplifier and trigger the envelope with the Gate in the I/O panel.
      As for Keyb CV and Pitch CV - these are the same thing, it was just renamed in the updated version.

      Not a biggie, but when following this tutorial I had to add 1 to every value given. I don't know if there is some basic setting (in the whole application or only for the step sequencer) that can change that, but as said - It's not really a problem.

    Thanks for this tutorial , i just discover "Voltage Modular Nucleus" which is free actually with the sanitary crysis and in the same time the modular synthesis.
    Little questions :
    - my arp's CV sliders are limited into the range C2 to C7, impossible to put a C1, it is from a parameter or do you think it is from the version?
    - is there a module in this bundle able to manage the mid/side?
    Hope you will do more videos with this kind of powerfull technique of "double arp" which allows a lot of possibilities and fun !!
    Once again THANKS for the great job !
