A Ping Pong patch implemented three different ways of doing Inversion. Use two LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators), use the 8VERT module (attenuverter) of use an Inverted MIX module with a non-inverted MIX module.
Modules used in the Cosmic Core Synth 2d – Ping Pong patch…
Brand | Module | Function |
---|---|---|
VCV | 8VERT | Used to Send a Signal and an Inverted Signal |
VCV | VCO | Accepts musical notes and provides an audio waveform |
VCV | ADSR | Takes a Gate Input and provides and envelope for VCA MIX |
VCV | VCA | Voltage Controlled Amplifier (volume) – Left Stereo Channel |
VCV | VCA MIX | Four Channel Mixer with Volume Level Sliders controlled with voltage input from the ADSR |
VCV | SCOPE | The SCOPE shows the signals from the 8VERT module being 180 degrees out of phase. |
VCV | AUDIO | Interface to the speakers |
VCV | MIDI -> CV | MIDI notes from a keyboard converted to a Control Voltage |
VCV | WT LFO | Wave Table Low Frequency Oscillator. WT POS is set at 0% to produce a Sine Wave |
VCV | VCA | Voltage Controlled Amplifier (volume) – Right Stereo Channel |
VCV | NOTES | Information about the patch |
Notes about the patch
Use the WT LFO Knob to control the speed of the panning (Ping Pong).
The WT LFO along with the 8VERT module create the Ping Pong effect. WT POS is set at 0% so that a sine wave is generated.
The WT VCO signal is sent to two inputs on 8VERT. When an 8VERT knob is hard right, 100% of the signal passes. When an 8VERT knob is hard left a -100% signal (i.e. inverted) signal passes. The VCA’s show the speed of the effect. The ADSR Envelope is triggered by the keyboard and fed to the VCA MIX.
The SCOPE shows the signals from the 8VERT module being 180 degrees out of phase.
Suggestions for Exploration
- Change WT LFO module’s FREQ and WT POS knobs. (hard right on both knobs create a bell like sound).
- Feed SEQ-3 Clock and Control Voltages into the WT LFO modules FM and POS connections.
