Excellent series Anthony. The reason that the Pulser is acting "oddly" is that it generates the pulse upon completing its cycle. That also creates the sort of cyclic effect when you trigger the EG from the Pulser, where the EG and Pulser seem to circle around one another.
You're an excellent teacher; I've been through your 2600 series, and now I'm on this. Much appreciated, and if you ever put up a Patreon channel, count me in. Question, if you get around to it: At 3:58, when you bring in the second gate, how are we hearing it, with the channel B volume all the way down in the output section? I can't make that happen, and I thought it wasn't supposed to.
Thank you! I'm currently vacillating between the RU-vid membership system and Patreon for enhanced content, and am taking far too long about it! (There are so many distractions...) As for your question... I'm totally baffled. I recreated the setup too, and, yes, you're right, with Output 2 set to zero you shouldn't be hearing both outputs... and yet we clearly are - in fact it's an integral part of the demo that when I invert the Modulation Oscillator it plays against the Complex Oscillator! I can only think of two possible answers - either I had something going on the in the advanced pages that was causing trouble, or it's a bug in the VST. Both answers are unsatisfactory and unlikely, so I'm left nonplussed.
@@OneManAndHisSongs Yeah, I haven't actually finished your tutorials on the advanced pages, I must admit; maybe I'll spot the answer in there. It's not a big deal at all, the useful point you were making with the inverter is not affected, but it got me wondering. This software has got some twists and turns to it, that's for sure!
I found a way to do it! (It's been driving me mad...) In the Advanced Page, set a Left Hand Function to Gates/Out Channel B Level, and set the Modulation Amount to maximum. This overrides the control in the main interface. Now then... why on earth I would have done that is beyond me, but at least it's an illustration of the Advanced Page overriding the default behaviour of the interface. Phew, I can sleep now ;)
I am trying to figure out the relationship between the sequential voltage source and the sequencer in the and the sequencer. It seems that they can run concurrently bit also that the svs affects the sequencer. Was this examined elsewhere. Btw-this is surely the best set of tutorials that I have ever seen. I could not make heads or tails of this synthesizer previously (and now I can). Thanks!
Yes, I examine the Sequencer (otherwise known as the Right Hand Page) here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EhEafmxLoFE.html. Just think of those two modules as control voltage sources. The Right Hand Page sequencer is fundamentally tied to the Pitch of BOTH Oscillators (more internal, hidden wiring!), whereas the SVC has to be physically connected to an Oscillator's pitch if that's what you want to do. If it is, and both of those modules are active, then yes, absolutely, they're both going to be combing together to generate a SUM of their control voltages, which we'll hear as a change in pitch.
Thanks. Sometimes when I am playing both together, it seems as if the volume of the sequencer is way down relative to everything else and I cannot figure out exactly how to boost the volume although it clearly is on the presets. This synth is really quite a rhythm machine.@@OneManAndHisSongs
I love your tutorials! So the modulation oscillator is blue and the sequencer is also blue. Does the modulation control only when the five voltage controls are at zero? I think that I may have missed something here.
Thanks! Unfortunate that they chose 2 different shades of blue, but, yes, Sequencer is dark blue and Mod Osc is mid blue. I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question about the voltage controls, but there's nothing particularly special about zero - it doesn't "enable" anything per se. If a slider is at zero it just means it's not having any effect on the synth - as you increase any particular slider, the control voltage associated with that slider also increases, and so any destination to which it's connected will be duly affected.
@@OneManAndHisSongs Thanks-I still am a little lost as the sliders seem to have the same color. How can they work then at the same time: is that the function of the mod cv out?
The Blue of the Sequencer is darker than the blue of the Mod Osc - if you mess with your display brightness and contrast you'll see they're actually different. I really have no idea why they chose two such similar colours for completely separate modules. The sequencer and mod osc are not inherently connected in any way. In fact, the Output Section and Midi Connections sections are also blue, and they ALSO have nothing to do with eachother! I think I MIGHT be starting to understand your confusion: the only output jack that's related to the mod osc is, as you say, Mod CV Out. The two jacks in the lower strip, including the jack directly underneath the mod osc, are sequencer outputs. Does that help at all?
