MST/SLV connections on G2

iPassenger

...how to emulate the mst/slv connection of the NM osc on the g2 oscs.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Cheers

Not so easy, have a look here : http://electro-music.com/forum/post-101365.html#101365

Edit : But it depends very much on the patch, the general solution is not so easy, for a particular patch it might be dead simple - maybe post the patch, or patches if not too many. Or when it's a patch from the NM Classic lib there might be a G2 translation already.

THx BH.

I haven't looked at yr link but will in a minute.. It is not a specific example i have it is just whilst reading guides and some docs for the NM1 it got me wondering how to replicate the same effect on the G2.

I'll give the link a read and come back to you if I still have a more specific question. (i had done a search on the subject on here and it lead me to the Nm1 to G2 Converter stuff, but coudln't really find the answers i was looking for in there.)

Thanks in advance.

Just been reading some of the soft sync guide to the NM1 and wondering how you can recreate that effect using the g2.

Some hints can be found in http://www.xs4all.nl/~rhordijk/G2Pages/index.htm

The only thing i really foubnd on the there which seems similar is the sync masking, is that the same thing?

I tried it out and did certainly soften the sync effect but not sure whether it is the same as reversing the wave.

The masking is different from the phase reversal; the phase reversal keeps edges out of the signal by reversing the signal (so there is no continuity jump) and the masking keeps them out by setting the amplitude to zero when they occur. At least tha't what I think Very Happy

I'm having a look at the soft sync patches (assuming you mean http://www.clavia.se/nordmodular/Modularzone/Softsync.html ) but see no quick way to convert these for the G2.

In the above patch what happens is that when the top osc is at a positive level the bottom osc will follow it's tuning and when the top osc is at a negative level the bottom osc will follow it as well only with the wave running in reverse direction.

There is no direct mapping for this on how the G2 modules work I think. Maybe someone else sees how, but I can't get the tracking of the two oscillators right on the G2, or so it seems.

Also see http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-1970.html for a related discussion.

I would suggest converting NM1 patches using g2ools because it was a very difficult problem to solve. I had to use translation tables and several 2 channel mixers (with inversion), as well as other tricks. 3phase and me spend a good part of 2 weeks trying to get it right. There are many cases that have to be accounted for. Like when the slv connection goes through blue rate signal processing (mixers, multipliers, etc.). Or when the mst inputs were using blue connections. Plus, if LFO's are in the mix that adds another level of problems.

It handles most of the cases perfectly, but there may be situations that were not accounted for (though none have been reported).

A straight G2 patch may be less of an issue because it's built with the G2 in mind from the start.
