From the course: Learning Modular Synthesis
Processing external sounds
- You don't have to use oscillators as your sound source in your modular synth. You can bring in sounds from the outside including samples, loops, other instruments, etc., and process them through your synth. Let's try that now using some drum loops. I'm enabled in Live and I have some loops from the drummer Brain loaded up. Let's start them playing. (Drum Beats) That's the output from Live. Let's wrap that over to my external outs that go through my synth. (Drum Beats) I now have my audio interface coming into an input on the Chaos device's Sewastopol input module. There's my control. Make sure I'm not quite overloading here. Let's start processing this through say, my filter. I'll take the audio out, Into my filter in. Then take my filter out and go back to my audio out. (Muffled drum beats) Again, this is a low-pass filter, so only low harmonics, or low frequencies are getting through. (Drum Beats) It so happens the Roland filter also has a high pass filter on a switch that cuts…
