Following our tutorial on Synchronization, where the basics of the Sequencer modules were covered, we now look at more advanced uses of these modules. We explore different ways in which the sequencers can be used to create complex modulation signals to control parameters from other modules such as the ADSR, Filters, VCA, Glide and more. Building on these ideas, you will be able to experiment and create rich, exotic, and surprising patches.

Multiphonics CV-1 Tutorial 2—The Objeq Filter Module

The Objeq Filter module allows one to process a signal through acoustic objects such as a string, plate, drumhead, membrane, beam, and bar. This tutorial will teach you how to get the best out of this powerful module.

Multiphonics CV-1 Tutorial 3—The VCA Module

A VCA is an essential module in a modular rack. In this tutorial, you will learn about two important roles the VCA can play in a patch. First, how the VCA can be used to control the amplitude of an audio signal and then how it can add expression to a patch by controlling the amplitude of a modulation.

Multiphonics CV-1 Tutorial 4—The Delay Module

A Delay is another deceptively simple module which can be used in surprising ways. In this tutorial, we first go over the basics and show how to use the module to delay an audio signal. You will learn how to use feedback loops in order to obtain interesting echo effects and how to use the module to create stereo movements in your patches. We then look at how the module can be used to delay CV signals thereby adding motion to modulations. We conclude this tutorial with an example inspired from physical modeling in which the module is used in a waveguide-like manner and becomes a pitched sound source.
