Modular LFOs work to analog output!!
Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 9:52 am
I just discovered something AWESOME -- the LFOs from Modular III can be passed through straight to the audio outputs of Scope (I'm using A16U for D/A). I'm using it to control my Synthesizers.com analog modular synth -- and it works amazingly well. It also allows me to use mod wheel and aftertouch modulation which is not possible on the modular synth itself. I had no idea in the past that this would work because the A16U manual said the frequency response of the D/A converters is 20hz-20khz, but I decided to try it on a whim and it worked!! Thank you CreamWare/Sonic|Core!
The only downside is that the A16 seems to have built-in DC offset compensation, so I can't use Scope as a full-on automation programmer because as soon as the signal stops changing value, the signal returns to neutral. Envelopes didn't seem to work too well either. But the LFOs are working great. I don't think this would have been possible with any VST synth.
There's always some reason why I need to keep my 10-year-old CreamWare hardware!
