pitch tracking 102?

is it possible with the help of the freqbox to create a pitch tracking ringmod? freqbox hardsynced osc out to ring mod carrier in?

I might be mistaken, but I think you can take your keyboard out and send it into the Osc in, then send the audio out into your filter. But youll have to run it through a cp251 first. Did you ever get a phatty or something like that or are you still using the MicroMoog?

I did that before with th Voyager and I was happy with the results. THe RIngmod did give me the sum and difference and it tracked the pitch as well as it could with giving me that same sum and difference. I vaguely remember it sounding different than just using the audio in.

No the Freq Box doesn’t provide you with this, as you are simply tracking the same pitch. You end up with original pitch + original pitch (= double amplitude original pitch); original pitch - original pitch (= theoretically no pitch); and a bunch of hard sync crackle. You essentially modify the tone (flavour) of the sound when you do this.

The easiest way to do this is to use a whammy pedal with a direct out, or play two instruments at the same time in different keys. That would provide you the ability to track your original pitch, and bend it higher or lower, thus creating a sum and difference that are audible as a pitch, and not a tone.

I just tired it with my HOG, and it works.

Erick: yes this does work with the micro but i shoould have clarified i wanted to do this for guitar. No Phatty yet, im holding off until they have a really good deal like free cp251 or something again

Alien8: thanks im starting to miss my whammy, i used to have TWO! did a pretty sweet balancing act on them rocking both pedals at once lol. but i really like what the hog has to offer and even the pog2

Im going to try it with my HOG, thanks for the tip :slight_smile:

About the Freqbox and tracking-- I play bass, and use smooth analog suboctave’s played an octave up the neck as my base tone to shape and filter.

Aside from EQ’ing (boosting lows and cutting highs in my application helps a lot), I’ve found that placing a buffer between the Freqbox and suboctave or clean passive bass helps the Freqbox to track very well! Im referring specifically the first position where Im playing at roughly 25+hz, and for instnace with a triangle or saw, the Freq at 0-2, and the Freqbox produces clean fat waves that track well with clean playing and has good sustain. I love this thing and am looking to add a second to my rig- im running a squared octaver in parallel with the freqbox at the moment, but would like to replace it with another freqbox :smiling_imp:

Anyway if I remember correctly you’re playing guitar, and the Freqbox tracks higher frequencies much better, but for anyone playing it in subfrequencies, I’d highly recommend placing a buffer in the middle of the chain, pre-freqbox.(and if you have a long chain, preferably towards the beginning of it) Boss and crappy old DOD bypasses work great.
