How to turn Gates to Pitch using an Envelope Generator.
A fun way to come up with arpeggios or sequences you may never think of using a conventional sequencer or playing an instrument….also a good way to get more pitch CV if you’re out of outputs.
In this video i used Intellijel Quadrax, In Part 1 i used Make Noise Maths.
Required Gear:
Gate generator – (Trigger, Gate out of Module, Pulse LFO…almost anything will do…bipolar LFOs produce odd results, but that may be what you’re going for!)
Envelope Generator – Used an Intellijel Quadrax in this video, but any AR will do…Maths (in part 1), Stages….just about any will do, but must be able to turn off/ignore re-trigger on Rise/Attack.
VCO (i used Moog Mother-32 for tutorial…and Roland 512 for demo at end)
Quantizer (I used Intellijel Scales and Expert Sleepers Disting, but any decent quantizer will do)
CV Mixer – will need to attenuate/offset and/or invert CV – I used Happy Nerding 3xMIA. Maths will of course work as will many other CV mixers.
A LOT of multiples!
Other Gear Used:
Doepfer a-101-2 Low Pass Gates
Mutable Instruments Stages (as a probability switch)
Intellijel Bifold – just a cool way to animate the Mother-32s Saw Wave
Eventide Timefactor for stereo delay
