Hi, i'm Gattobus. Welcome to my tutorial.
Today i'll show you how to connect your Fantom
to a modular synthesizer using CV connections.
First, i'll show you how to create a basic patch
using my roland System 500. We'll take the SAW WAVE
OUT to VCF IN. Then from the VCF OUT to the VCA IN
Remember to raise the levels on both filter
and VCA.
Then from VCA OUT to mixer channel one.
Now, we need the envelope to control the filter.
So from envelope output to VCF modulation input,
and from the second output of the envelope to the VCA
modulation input. Let's check our patch by pushing the manual envelope trigger.
Great. Now, for the second voice we will use the 510 module,
which is a pre-patched complete synth voice. We just need to raise the filter
and VCA levels, then, from the output, straight to the
channel 2 of our mixer module. Again from envelope 2 output to filter
modulation IN, and from the second output of the
envelope to VCA modulation IN.
Our second voice is now ready. Let's check it out.
Now, let's take our Fantom CV OUT and connect it to the keyboard
input of the first VCO. Then from Gate OUT 1 to the external
control of Envelope 1.
And from CD OUT 2 to the keyboard input of our second voice.
And from Gate output 2 to the external control of envelope 2.
On my Fantom I've created a new scene and, by pressing shift plus the part
buttons, I assign part 1 and 2 to external control. In system
settings go to CV Gate section and be sure that the assign source
is set to 'Scene' and that CV Gate 2 port mode is set to
'Gate 2'. In scene edit go to CV Gate section
and set CV Gate 1 control zone to 1, and CV Gate 2 control zone to 2.
In zone edit, in the key range menu, I split the keyboard in two parts -
Zone 1 to the upper part, and Zone 2 to the lower.
Let's check it out.
Now we can play in Duophonic mode.
To spice things up we can use the Arpeggiator in the upper part.
Let's pick random mode.
We can also create a clock output using the internal pattern sequencer.
Let's go to part 3 and select an 808 Tom sound. In TR-REC mode
we just need to turn on all the steps
and we have this.
Now we can go in the Effects Edit section and assign the Zone output to Sub 1.
Ok, now we need to go from Sub output 1 to the sample and hold clock input of
our synth. And from sample and hold out to the
filter modulation input of our second voice.
Now our modulation source is perfectly in sync with our arpeggio.
Since my System 500 is connected to the Fantom inputs
I can use the internal reverb to add some ambience.
Nice, isn't it?
Thank you for watching my video. See you next time!
