New idea for soundsculpting explored

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four

Today i used the lfo with the fm-rates for a specific task: i modulated the chorus-amount of a certain patch with 1k/sine/speed 32 at a deep aprox. 32 - 40 and pan the sound with the same lfo at a deep aprox. 20

This gives a fine broadening sound, better than the chorus cranked in alone… absolute fantastic

I also found out, that the fm-rates are somehow more musical when modulate a certain target, like filters, overdrive and other parameters

I don’t know if some of you allready checked nearly everything on the a4/ak

Its just a small contribution

FX modulation through LFO is an aspect of the A4 that is under explored imo. I’ll need to dive into this!

3

LFO > Delay Overdrive is a cool place to start if you want to make something dirty/noisey.

I allready used the lfo on the delay-times… thats crazy… psychedelic… wired

I admit … i even touched the modulationoption in the fx-section… also to my shame the velocity-modulation… AT-modulation and so on

I think i use just 15-20% of the features the a4 provides… when do i use the macros? I just tested them how the principle works…
Anyway… if one sees the macros as multimodulation-sources… i don’t remember clearly… are the macros ‘midified’?

Macros have their proper MIDI channel !

ohh great info :+1:
in other words i can modulate my A4 to death (with the OT for example)

Of course.
Check “Appendix D : MIDI” for performance parameters.

Nice!
It gets even weirder if you remove that track from the global voice routing, and just listen to the chorus.

nice idea!
and modulating delay time with a lfo is also nice. but would be even nicer if you can switch of “sync to tempo” for the delay time and adjust it in ms.
