ableton live & motu CV control of frostwave resonator

[jakomaron]

whaaaaaa, fantastic.

thank you for sharing the waves and the knowledge.

Hi .

I wanted to know how do you creta your "control voltage signals" ?

thank you for your answer.

I don't exactly understand what are the CV/gate input and output.....

you can answer right to my email : juleshuet@gmail.com

thanks

Thanks for the vid! Do you know if this would this work with a hz/oct synth such as Korg MS-20?

[TwiggyUND23]

when i put my .wav file into a song to play with it. it sets a tempo for it and speeds it up/slows it down in certain sections. how do i put the .wav file in without altering it at all??

[tremorcore]

@feelindizzy343 the analog outputs on motu's interfaces are dc-coupled, which is what you want for CV.

[ElfMagic42]

Hey. Thanks for the vid. you inspired me to get a resonator. It is on its way.

I have a macbook pro i7 and am running ableton 8. I have an akai apc 40 and now the frostwave synth. What else should I get to complete this setup. You mentioned needing a motu interface to run the frostwave. Which model is the best and or most affordable? Is there any other gear you would recommend? thanks

[tremorcore]

@ElfMagic42 congrats on finding a resonator! they're tough to come by these days. the motu ultralite is ~$550 retail... good place to start. they have a smaller/cheaper interface, but it's not going to give you enough to ins/outs.

[ElfMagic42]

@tremorcore - I was looking at the motu ultralite and it looks like there is a new one called the hybrid. Is this the best interface to get to work with the frostwave? If you have any other suggestions they would be appreciated but if the motu ultralite mk3 hybrid is the way to go I will be purchasing one. Thanks

[tremorcore]

@ElfMagic42 the ultralite is great.. i use the mk2. go for it.

[TheRadiophobic]

This is fantastic stuff. I knew you could use software to make it into a synth, but I didn't realize it was that simple with something like Ableton.

[oticowgirl]

so sweet

[THEDEFOCATOR]

Damn another thing I am going to have to buy!

[skylerstupid]

this is a fucking fantastic feature...

[indiasrainbow]

can you reverse the process and send cv to your daw ? cv to midi?

[tremorcore]

you can record cv into your daw, for sure. if you were to record an analog LFO's cv, you'd end up with shapes not unlike the ones i created for this vid. (i've done this with my sherman.)

to convert those signals to midi would require an audio>midi or audio>midiCC plug-in... there are a few of these freely available on the web. i think reaper has one bundled...

[indiasrainbow]

thanks :) yeah ive been trying a few audio to midi plugs but i have yet to find a sample/phase accurate plugin. Even tho vst midi is sample and phase accurate , no plugin ive tested can preserve the analogs phase. this cv control looked very promising as a midi to cv, so was wondering of the reverse,. thanks again :)

[ketchupok]

Does it work with every MOTU interface? Or is it a special one with 5V Output?

[tremorcore]

it works with all of them, as far as i know.

[bbbbub]

Very nice demo - thankyou.

[wileysupergenius]

That's awesome. Question though. What kind of signal are you sending through the envelopes to control CV. I have an Ultralite and I'm pretty handy with Ableton but not sure on the exact setup.

[tremorcore]

you mean the envelope stuff that starts ~ 3:55? that clip is a wave, but it looks empty because the wave consists only of a single straight line at the very top of the wave window (it's "full_on.wav" in the LFO pack linked in the description.)

the envelopes i'm drawing are for "volume." decreasing volume = lower pitch.

[wileysupergenius]

Huge thank you for this. I used your template and samples and total success. I can't believe it's that simple. One thing I discovered is to bring the samples into "sampler" where you can take a straight level and apply any envelope ADSR or otherwise and 3 LFOs to it, so you can pretty much create anything with a simple form.

[amthemoon]

nice technique !

[cosmcosm]

Verry cool man :)
