i have another stupid question. how are you guys using the master filters? it’s nice to have master sweeps and whatnot but i really want to use enveloped double notch and lp notch filters with certain analog dvco patches to sculpt that particular sound. i guess you can only realistically do one at a time, or multiple very similar patches for a sort of paraphony, but would the only way to do this be to copy and paste the trig pattern to the fx track, at which point the gate trigs activate the master fx filter envelope?
i feel like there’s a smarter way, but im haven’t come up with anything yet
There isn’t a smarter way yet, to my knowledge.
Remember that you can plock the filter type. You won’t get both at once, but you can get different flavors in the same pattern.
thats a good point. i guess if i re-think how i use the master fx, i could make it work. instead of using it a literally a master bus, i could save the fx track for one or two tracks and only route those through. it will be like having an extra layer or sound design for at least one track
It’s pretty open, and invites to experiment all the possibilities offered through env shapes, filter types and LFOs.
I personally intend to use AFX track to tame some continuous noise I’ll make from various tracks, and give the result a shape/a rhythm only with the master track envelopes.
Maybe a little journey along the way how some different harmonies fit together would be a good idea. There are some chord progressions, which are not hard to understand and to learn.
This video could be a nice entry point … it has a couple of good examples …
Or a book like: Chord Progressions forSongwirters, by Richard J. Scott
Not tried this yet but I’m assuming we can make the Trigs in the Analog FX only trigger during a Fill. This could be quite useful. Will have a play with this tonight.
One gotcha I found (might be a bug) is that you can’t seem to use trigless locks on the FX track to trigger an envelope (at least not the amp envelope). Use a normal trigger instead and just disable any envelopes you don’t want using a plock; this works as expected, and you can use all of the existing conditional triggers.
That’s surely the only purpose of a normal trig on the FX track anyway, without triggering an envelope or lfo restart i’m not sure what else it delivers, so it’s almost implicit, but i guess the trig reset toggles can be cherry picked per step, so it may automatically convert a trigless lock to a normal trig when you enable the Amp Trig toggle
It’s a fun part of any Elektron with an FX track, it can be so powerful, especially when you use those trigless locks to occasionally transform fx and so on, and all on a track that can have its own length and tempo rate
Yeah, this chord business is great. I was trying to modulate the voice param of the chord, with the LFO. Basically to have the LFO be like me playing with the knob
I tried making a square wave that basically oscillated between 0 and 127 but with a little fuzz/randomness in there. Unfortunately I wasn’t as successful with my LFO as I was just tweaking the knob
Sometimes. Mostly it was easier to reproduce what I sampled in auto-mode while I had been daysleeping on the desk waiting for the time to pass.
But not if a textbook
was clearly structured
had lists or flowcharts
used color for emphasis or distinguishing levels or categories (but not decoration)
somehow indicated levels of importance
didn’t leave out the essential part to understanding just because it’s school
included original sources
Found such textbooks after finishing school, finally understood physics, chemistry, biochemistry, statistics, the structure of an Aristotelian drama etc.
Took a while to understand that most problems in school are just networks of words - linguistic problems so to speak.
I really want it to be a rounded square … very quick ramps but long periods at max/min.
I was having trouble getting just a basic square to do what I wanted “in time” with the sequence (it always started its phase at about the 4th trig) so I clearly have a lot of learning to do. Maybe P-locking this particular value would be more fun.
- some happy day in the future. 
There was a page 2? 
flashbacks to return of tests in school …)
