RABid Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 So I guess there is a good reason that you have not been posting much lately. I'm not sure if I am happy for you getting one or mad at you for taunting us with gas inducing pictures. Robert This post edited for speling.

I'm having to figure it out as I go. It's an interesting challenge, but I'm into it. Erik Norlander, who's a bit into the modular thing (WARNING - do NOT click on that link unless you're sitting down) was kind enough over the other day and help me figure a bunch of it out. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepay Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Just curious, but are you allowed to say "Macbeth" outloud? Bad luck for a theater actor to say it, so I was just wondering. Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica T Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Here's a question about the Macbbeth modular while I'm thinking of it: How does one "play" or control a real analog modular synth? I don't mean how to create a patch, but how to play it. I don't see keys on it anywhere. My guess would be that you'd have to connect some sort of external MIDI controller. But doesn't an analog synth use VCOs to create the pitch rather than MIDI numbers to identify notes? How does this interface work?

Ed A. Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 You would use a MIDI>CV box like the Doepfer MCV4 or Little MCV to convert the MIDI output of a modern keyboard controller to a control voltage and gate that would connect to the M5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
