ppl realy need your help
noob in a modular
too hard to make start this hell machine make a sound.Plz someone can give me one start patch with just one osc correctly connected to all required modules for playing a sine from a keyboard =)
thanx a lot
INIT PATCH
There's a couple of things that are interesting to know. Like what connects where, some signal types:
On a synth start patch in my Mod Folder, I have:
To toy around with modular, it's fun just to insert a filter module between it's Audio In and Out, then start adding modulation parameters as it works out: an LFO to cut-off freq, or an MVC with envelope to cut-off freq etc.
That should get you started I hope
Have fun patchin'!!
- audio: usually red or green, frequency is at samplerate and AC.
- freq: blue, a DC value, adjusted to the samplerate, so osc outputs the right pitch for the corresponding note. Freq has linear relation to pitch.
- note: mostly used to control Key Follow, independant of samplerate.
- gate & esync: MVC usually makes Gate. Esync tells MVC when the gate is closed. Connect MVC gate to the input of and envelope. Typical use: In monophonic patches, shortcut gate and esync, in polyphonic patches let the ADSR tell MVC when it's finished it's envelope cycle. For volume control, connect the envelope's output to a VCA.
- various mod signals: velocity, aftertouch, envelope, LFO, ... can be used to modulate filter cutoff or other modules with (usually) blue input connectors. Do not connect these to freq inputs of osc unless you really want to.
On a synth start patch in my Mod Folder, I have:
- MIDI to MVC A
- MVC Gate connected to it's Esync input
- MVC's Gate going to an ADSR's Gate input
- ADSR's Out to Exp VCA
- VCA to a poly out to Audio Out
- and then I can start adding osc, filters etc, from which I connect the mix to the free input on the VCA.

VCA typically works in conjunction with an envelope.
VCA is 'voltage' control for amplitude. Voltage, let's take any positive signal between 0 and max, like an envelope's output, controls the amplitude of any signal.
So the blue input would be the level control, the green one takes audio.
VCA is just a multiplier really, you could use ringmod too!
