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

welcome sidx

Try, on the routing window menu, modII/tutorials/tutorial1/Part1, and your'e on your way

gods will save u bro

tutorials are good sure...but ..why is no stepbystep startup manual in the tutorials =(

There's a couple of things that are interesting to know. Like what connects where, some signal types:

• 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.

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'!!

Great!
one more thing
hard to me understand...VCA - its a part of envelope? like a Amplifier?

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!

good
now i feel much better
thanx a lot 2all

wait 'till you've missed a couple nights sleep

"Modular 2 Tutorial.pdf"

Thusly were my first tentative modular steps taken...

'tis very step-by-step.

(Greetings to PZ by the way)

damn i ready to devote all nights for this !

yeah...got the mod2 tutorial.

STFM - this only one right answer was for me =)
thanx

...and at0m's tute there is worth a copy&paste folks

guys
how to make pith modulation? but not with lfo.
I need a "frog" sound u know.Every time when i play note - i want to pitch gonna down with controlled speed.plz help and sorry for incorrect description =(.In my nord lead 3 its a simple operation with a Mod Envelope control.

In your patch, put a pitch modifier between mvc & osc, then use an envelope to bend it

You may have to use e-sync add if you have multiple envelopes in the patch.

envelope u mean simple ADSR module?
ok...will try thanx
