CV Recording

[sak-rwsd]

Hi all,

Are any of you using NERDSEQ CV recording for modulation?  For instance, I would like to record modulation for "Morph" on my Basimilus Iteratis Alter.  My voltage block doesn't have enough resolution for nice smooth curves, so it's really steppy, which is fine, depending on what sounds I'm going for.  Not sure how NERDSEQ would fare relative to this? I think I would need something like a LEVIT8, which I saw in a Sonic Voltage Video?  

Of course, I can draw nice curves in Ableton and use the CV outs on my ES-9 to send this to whatever module, which is very fun in it's own way, but I'm also trying to see what I can do out of the box, with just my Eurorack.  I like the idea of having it all together - you know, NERDSEQ sequencing the beats, modulation and so on, versus it all coming from different places and hence being harder for me to keep track of...

Thanks!

Hi, maybe you can try to play with modulation glide settings to smooth it a bit and to get different curves. 

Also you can double (or more) the track speed to get more resolution.

The NerdSEQ is only capable to record into the steps (since it is a step sequencer). For really smooth recording you would need a CV recorder.

But as BleepBleep adviced, you might record and use some of the glide settings to reproduce the flow and maybe it is good enough to reproduce what you want.

If you want to have nice interresting modulation flows, you could also use multiple 'cascaded' automators in LFO mode.

Great, I didn't quite grasp that the resolution of the automation would be constrained by the steps, that it records specific values into steps, versus sampling more continuous data separately somehow (like a dedicated CV recorder must do from what I'm beginning to gather).  Makes sense.  I'll explore the glide settings to see what that leads to, and of course, part of the joy is twiddling the knobs live anyway (I just have so many hands though).

If you get time, it would be great if you could show how well this works (using glide between values) to generate a complex modulation curve! I am very interested in the results of this.

Thanks
