SP CV-in experiments
SP CV-in experiments
have you ever tried plugging somethng '"strange" into the Filter/Vol/Pitch CV in of the SP (e.g. a headphones out of a TV, a pocket radio, etc.)? have you had any successes (whatever you might call a "success" in art...), and especially are there any do's and dont's with that? i might have read here in another thread about the possibilities and effects of that, though it was only a speculation about these things. thanks!

Re: SP CV-in experiments
I was doing some crazy stuff with routing the output of the phatty itself to the CV in of the filter and pitch, pretty funny results! sometimes really phat sounding too
I don't know about any do's or don'ts, so I'm curious about that

Nice ideas, thanks!
I have plugged in my pocket-radio with a y-cable so it both affects pitch and filter-cv. you can get pretty interesting textures as the radio "talks through" the filter and pitch.
this one, for instance turned out to be pretty creepy

Re: SP CV-in experiments
THAT IS AWESOME.
could you just use a microphone with a y-cable and talk through the pitch and filter...like a vocoder?

Re: SP CV-in experiments
Yes although you might need a mixer to amplify the microphone to good Control Voltage levels; microphones usually put out only a small signal on their own.Lazerface wrote:THAT IS AWESOME.

No it won't be like a vocoder, which is a much more complex affair requiring many bandpass filters, envelope followers and VCAs. But it will probably sound cool.Lazerface wrote:...like a vocoder?

indeed you can get very nice and subtle textures!Amos wrote: But it will probably sound cool.

weekend's mission is try this.
I didnt mean EXACTLY like a vocoder...just the talking through a synthesizer part
Re: SP CV-in experiments
sure! well, our next stop here will be feeding a drum machine into it. it will surely be nice as it's gonna get into the grooveLazerface wrote:weekend's mission is try this. I didnt mean EXACTLY like a vocoder...just the talking through a synthesizer part

Re: SP CV-in experiments
this time, i've plugged in an FM radio's broadcast. obviously, the speech bears more clarity, and it has a kind of "ring-modulated" sound:
