Filters, envelopes, comb filters, compression.
Check out @sezare56 ‘s guitar thread linked above for more of a walk-through. I started there.
This concept is the simple notion that altering pitch, amp envelope, and filter envelope, you can basically create kicks, blips, snare-like things from any sound source.
How do you handle quad panning with the OT? Carefully set up lfos on different tracks? scenes + crossfader? I was thinking maybe you could get a quadrature lfo by modulating one lfo’s amount with a second square wave lfo synced so that it cancels out every other cycle or something but I can’t quite wrap my head around it.
The OT is in studio mode, and I’m using all 8 tracks, 4 in the front, 4 to the back speakers. Then, the left and right are controlled with P-Locks, or midi-foot pedal expression, depending on the piece.
