I’m sure this has been discussed before, so my apologies.
I’m wondering what exactly I would need in order to sync the frequency of my RM to whatever I am playing on guitar/synth. Would I just need a freqbox set to sync?
Again, sorry. I’m just getting into the line and only have the midi murf right now.
The freqbox will work for that, but it will not sound clean, if you like crazy distortion this is the way to go. Freqbox to murf to carrier input should sound cleaner. Also with guitar you could try using a pitch shifting pedal into the carrier. If your keyboard has midi, you could use a midi to cv converter, such as the mp 201 to make the internal oscillator of the ringmod track. If you decide to go the midi to cv route sonnus makes a pitch to midi converter for guitar, but it’s tracking is kinda slow, so youre gonna want a little portamento on your midi to cv.
How exactly would I connect the guitar → murf → ring mod?
I’m only interested in the ring mod if there is a somewhat easy way to make the pitch track correctly, otherwise the atonal thing won’t work for me right now.
The easiest would be guitar> pitch shifter > carrier input of ringmod, and guitar > audio input of the ringmod. some pitch shifters, such as the whammy pedal have a clean output and an effect output. Effect to carrier in and clean to audio in will do what you want.
You might get some luck using the Pitch CV out to the Frequency or Carier input. Try them both. It won’t sync perfectly but it will sound different than just using audio. I used an audio signal and cv signal like this before and it sounded different than just using the audio signal. THis has been awhile though.
