Tutorials?

moom

Hi there,

I frequent this site and rarely post - I must apologise but I dont think I could help most people Embarassed

Anyway, I really want to get into making my own patches that arent based around subtractive synthesis. I amreally interested in the logic and sequencing modules but am a little mythed by the whole thing. I think i get the concepts generally but am having trouble making anything thatis of any worth!

Are there any online tutorials I could work with to bring up to speed?

And while I am here - can anyone help me to make a patch that uses an incoming audio signal that is pitch detected and then triggers oscillators at that pitch! I would love to stick a mic out of my window and see what tones were being made by random noises. I think Wink

Any help on anything would be better than nothing Laughing

I remember the spot you are in.

Don't worry. Here's what I did - I kept adding, and if something did not work. I took it out instead of making it complicated.

Take the synth I created in the tutorial in the manual, then added some delay and chorus. Then I add an envelope for the filter (mod input) and an lfo to the synth (mod input). Then I add an LFO which I also wanted to affect the filter. so i added a 2 input mixer. took the output of of the envelope and moved it into the 1st channel of the mixer, then connected the lfo to the 2nd input. i renamed both mixer channels so I can remember what affects what. now I connect the output of this mixer to the input of the modulation of the filter (the one with the knob - for overall effect). Now I will do the same to the pan and osc pitch modulation too -- then I will play my new synth!

Thats great peeps! Thankyou. Very Happy

The whole Subtractive thing is easy enough for me, but thankyou for the mixer advice Dasz. That should help me to cross modulate those parameters - excellent stuff.

And as for the online tutrials, DJ, they are perfect (although still a massive read) Shocked

This forum is undoubtedly priceless to Nord Modular users and makes the beast accessible to anyone who really wants to put the work in. The patches are always a great starting point too and I have survived this long by using the fantastic 'mutator' to create some unique and bizaare sounds. I am sure everyone feels this way about that addition to the OS Smile

If you get the chance, check out my website:

I write primarily dark ambient/electronic stuff but am working on video and animation too. The site is still under some construction but the sounds are all active. Let me know what you think.

Til then, Thanks again. Very Happy

This stuff is part of the teaching materials I wrote for my courses at http://english.hku.nl/hku/show.

If it's basic information you need check out the G2-Toolbox. There's a link in my signature.

First I thought this is a link to your "Introduction to the Clavia Nord Modular G2 synthesizer", but this is even better, Rob, thank you!

this is a brilliant document and a good read.. thanks for sharing!

but is it just me or is the word 'as' used in places where the word 'than' should be used instead? e.g.:

"The reason why this results in lowpass filtering is because the cycle of a high frequency is much shorter as the cycle of a very low frequency"

i reckon these links should be pinned at the top of FAQ...

absolutely awesome links, thanks so much for sharing Rob and everyone else. if i could contribute something like this i would...

OT:
I would've made the same mistake. I think "as" and "than" translate into the same word in German (als). Is there a rule when I should use "as" and when "than"?

English is the messiest language in the world. Give me finnish or at least slavian languages any day (not that I know any of them, but I wish I did).

i keep checking this post thinking that rob will magically say he's zipped up his tutorial but all i get is this primer on the relationship between symbolic logic, dutch, and english!
