Hello,
This patch uses the mighty Blokas Midihub to modulate the AR Velocity mod and/or Aftertouch (Channel pressure) mod with a variable LFO. This setting effectively adds 8 (2x4 LFOs) per track per kit.
To achieve this you are gonna need the following:
- Analog Rytm
- Blokas Midihub
- Novation LaunchControl XL or anything else that can send CC values (optional for variable LFO)
Elektron is giving us 4 modulable destinations per mono-polar modulator so 4 destinations for the Velocity mod and 4 destinations for the Aftertouch mod (or Channel Pressure for midi). That means that those 4 destinations have the same modulator, imagine an LFO with 4 destinations with different depths of course. The mono-polar LFO will only have the value going + or - depending on the direction, you can’t have a zero point and have the LFO going +/- around that point.
Midihub can send CC LFO values to those modulators (per channel) and with a patch we can use an external midi controller (your Octatrack/Digitakt or Novation LaunchControl for example) to send a CC value and rescale it with an LFO creating a mixable LFO depth.
The 2 main patches are the following:
Patch 1 w/ midi controller:
With this patch, you can set your modulation depth per destination and mix the respective LFO to start modulating, you can of course continue adding or changing the depth of modulation for each destination as you play but only mixing the LFO starts adding many layers to your sound from 1% LFO mix to 100% LFO mix. You can think of this as a 4 destination scene with variable dephts.
Patch 2 w/o midi controller:
With this patch, you can have all the LFOs running for all the channels that you want and as you play go to each channel’s Vel/Aftertouch mod page and start adding depth per destination, this works well IMO but patch 1 is a bit more versatile as it can also do that.
Lastly, you can also map anything you like on the Midihub so you can map the LFO timing and waveform and change it on the fly. This can be great with something like an Octatrack where you can lock specific values and such per project per pattern etc…
Honestly, this adds great depth and playability to the AR, it opens up a lot and becomes an instrument.
If you don’t have the Midihub and you still want to have this functionality you can check out other videos playing with the velocity mod settings by locking the velocity for each step, sadly this will not give you the smoothness or the complexity of an LFO. For aftertouch you can just go to the play page of your AR and push each trackpad continuously, that robs you a bit from the mute functionality so still not a great option.
You can find the video here. I’m not a YouTuber or anything so I tried my best
