Volca Modular: Patching and LFO's
This is my second video about the Volca Modular. You may want to check out other one https://youtu.be/cmnzoBALCk8 first if you haven't already (in it I cover why I think this Volca would be a good choice for some people, also a walkthrough of the basics). Note: I'm not post-processing these sounds or using any additional effects. All Volca Modular except for a Pocket Operator going through the Volca in the first shot and a duet, of sorts, with the Bastl BitRanger at the end of the video. TIMELINE 00:00 This is drums-only from the PO-32 Tonic. It is syncing the Volca, and the Tonic audio out is going through the Space Out effect on the Volca. 00:25 INTRO - a brief review of the last video and an overview of this video 05:30 Some initial steps about how to use the Function 2 module. The two Function modules can team up to make more complex envelopes. 09:20 Polyrhythm patch using both Function Modules clock./4 -- Function1.gateIn clock./3 -- Function2.triggerIn Source.modAudio -- LPG2.in Function2.plus -- LPG2.level 10:50 LFO by Self-triggering Function 2 11:50 Audio Frequency LFO Patches for Modulation Function2.triggerOut -- Function2.triggerIn Function2.plus -- LPG1.level for Audio Source Function2.triggerOut -- Function2.triggerIn Function2.plus -- LPG1.in(!) BONUS PATCH: this is a way to _play_ the LFO from the keyboard. Function2.triggerOut -- Function2.triggerIn Function2.plus -- LPG1.in clock.pitch -- b (utility) a-b*c -- Function2.time (has to be the minus sign!) set the keyboard Scale to M Pent (Major Pentatonic [FUNC+key1(on keyboard), key15, FUNC] shape about 11:00 time (minimum) c (maximum) tune the shape such that key13 sounds 1 octave above key1. the keyboard is roughly chromatic now. 13:00 Patch that combines the Functions in series Function2.triggerOut -- Function2.triggerIn Function2.plus -- LPG1.level LPG1.out -- LPG2.in Function1.plus -- LPG2.level LPG2.out -- Space.in 13:40 Patch that combines the Functions in a different way source.modAudio -- LPG2.in Function1.plus -- b Function2.triggerOut -- Function2.triggerIn Function2.plus -- c.control (bottom socket on the utility) a+b*c -- LPG2.level 14:00 Playing some noise. Using the Woggle Module. 15:00 Patch that uses the Woggle's noise to modulate pitch clock.pitch -- a woggle.noise (upper left socket of Woggle) -- b a+b*c -- source.pitch c knob controls noise depth 17:00 Generative LFO Patch Function2.triggerOut -- Split2.in Split2.out1 -- Function2.triggerIn Split2.out2 -- Woggle.triggerIn Woggle.stepped -- Split1.in Split1.out1 -- Function2.time Split1.out2 -- b a+b*c -- source.pitch Function2.plus -- LPG1.level add Space Out to taste, vary shape, time, and c knobs for different effects 19:40 The Other LFO 21:40 Double LFO Patch Sync Out == CV In (3.5 mm patch cable or aux cable) CV In (upper) -- Function1.gateIn Function2.triggerOut -- Function2.triggerIn Function1.plus -- b a+b*c -- source.fold Function2.plus -- source.modKnob vary clock tempo, function parameters, and c to get various effects 22:20 Tandem LFO Patch Sync Out == CV In (3.5 mm patch cable or aux cable) CV In (upper) -- Split1.in Split1.out1 -- Function1.gateIn Split1.out2 -- Function2.triggerIn Function1.plus -- LPG1.level Function2.minus -- LPG2.level Function2.triggerOut -- Woggle.triggerIn Woggle.stepped -- source.modKnob source.modAudio -- LPG2.in 22:40 Stepped Strings Patch NOTE: I think this works due to only certain standing waves being supported within the Space Out feedback loop, but honestly I'm not exactly sure about that. source.modAudio -- Split2.out1 (using as a mixer) Split2.in -- b a+b*c -- Space.in Space.out -- Split2.out2 Space around 10:00, c around 3:00 (controls the feedback) RATIO controls the pitch in steps. the range in the video is a tiny rotation of the knob, maybe all within 5 degrees - sensitive! 23:00 Volca Modular + Bastl BitRanger I have no clue about the patch(es) - whoops. BUT I was using the sync(volca) and clock(BitRanger) to get them synced up. And then, most importantly, I hooked the Byte CV out on the BitRanger to the Volca Modular CV In (by 3.5 mm patch cable) - this establishes a mutual ground, which allows me to patch directly from device to device using the pin cables, as seen.
