back in the days, I was able to get my Rogue singing by itself (without playing the keyboard).
I can’t remember how I did this and because of that, don’t know how to do it on my Voyager.
All I remember is, I got some very unexpected and non repeating rhythmic results depending on how I set the A and D settings on the Rogue (in the most positive sense). For the lack of a better means to illustrate my memory, I’ll use silly words:
It never was “da-da-da-da-da-da” etc, but more something like “da—dawapwapdada------daaaaaaa-dapwapwda-------------da–da”.
Hope this makes sense.
It could have something to do with the Contour Generaters VCA Mode setting on the Rogue and also Cuttoff and maybe the Modulation sections Auto Trigger.
But I’m not sure… also the Rogue could have been broken , but I was able to switch this singing off and play it like any other monosynth, everything working as expected.
And even if I could remember… how would I setup the Voyager for a similar thing? I have a vague idea, maybe randomly triggering the filter and/or volume envelope, with some clever routing to make the LFO’s speed random and then routing that to influence the filter envelope amount, or something like that.
Unfortunately the Voyager is in the rehearsal room, and I won’t have access to it for a few days.
Yeah, I know… it’s all really vague.
Unfortunately I don’t own the Rogue anymore, and so I can’t recreate those settings.
But I’d love to.
The Voyager should be able to do what the Rogue could do, shouldn’t it?
Any ideas?
I’m comfortable digging in my Voyagers menus, so if it involves some fiddling, don’t hesitate to post your ideas here.
Also I have the VX-351, so patching is a possibility as well (though I’d like to know, whether this is possible without patching… the Rogue could do it, so…ehrm.).
I think I’ve uploaded my “Repeater” patch. .syx to Knobtweak. You could easily reverse engineer it for an example. That rocker on the bottom right of the panel is your friend for self running. Hint.
Been busy here. Finally got that patch uploaded.
Play the top f# and adjust the fine tune. It should be a series of continuously rising or falling pulses. The initial pitch is critical what happens from there gets nuts. But is should help you to figure out free running patches.
Thanks!
But because of the glissandi, I couldn’t focus on what I originally wanted to achieve.
Instead I find my after 2 hours of fiddling, trying to get a create a good Shepard patch with the Voyager.
Its difficult.
My best results involved FMing the oscillators and using external oscillators that allowed feedback loops. As soon as i went to my modular, it got easy and good. I quit fine tuning that patch at that point. If you have a vx351 and cp251, you can get really creative with patches like that one feeding back the TS.
If you have the time, could you elaborate what you mean by feedback loop in an oscillator?
For example, looking at my Moonmodular VCOs, I see Hard Sync In, Soft Sync In, PWM Control In (attenuated), PWM Control In (unattenuated), FM In (AC/DC), Frequency Control Inputs (2x). The outputs are: Sine, Triangular, Sawtooth, Rectangular plus one Auxiliary Out with a switch to choose the waveform that is sent out at that output.
Also I’m not sure what you mean by “TS”. Do you mean Tone Signal?
I have the VX-351 sitting next to the Voyager but no CP-251. Would I be able to patch something up with the Voyager and the VX-351, or would I have to use the Moonmodular system as well?
My idea is to get as close as possible to the Shepard sound while using the Voyager and the VX-351 alone since I don’t take the modular to gigs.
