What is the best way to record cv and trigger signals?
Let me explain.
I use rack to control external hardware synths. Most of my patches involve some sort of generative stuff, which will sound different every time I play the patch.
But the problem is: I want to record the performance. And I do not have enough channels into my recording computer. So I was thinking: what if I record the hardware synths one at a time?
For that, I would need a way to “freeze” the performance of my patch. And it seems to me the best way to do that is to record the performance, cv and trig, so I can play it back.
I seem to remember there’s a module that can do this. But I cannot find it.
Thank you.
The problem is I want to record the whole song. Most recorders just record 16 steps.
Logan is interesting, but it cannot be synced to a clock.
How did you use a sampler for this?
Will check pdarray
I’m probably not understanding what you’re trying to do. All a sampler does is record your signal so it doesn’t care whether it’s cv or audio. As I sometimes say it’s not really audio until it hits the speaker.
One thing I forgot to mention about Logan is that there’s a sister module called Nagol that reads in your csv files and makes them into cv.
Yes, I know about Nagol. Been there when Antonio came up with that, for Damien if I remember correctly.
Anyway, I think you understand what I want. It’s I who forgot about how to use a sampler for that. Now all I need is to record the output, and put the “audio” in a sampler that can hold a sample of about 4 minutes.
Thank you.
If you want to do it in a linear way, that plays linear every time the same again.
You might want to check the Entrian Sequencers CV, it is not free though, but belongs to a fine set of modules!
Thanks. I was imagining something like Nysthi’s recorder, that you just turn on or off. So you don’t have to worry about length. this will work too, I guess, as long as it can handle 1000 beats or so. And there’s still the recorder/sampler route, too.
