Deluge and modular synths. Full tutorial and 5 quick tricks for CV and gates

#deluge #modular #0coast #synthstromdeluge #tutorial #eurorack #modularsynth If you wanted to know how to use the Deluge with modular synths then this is the video for you! I’ll show you how to use the CV and gate outputs on the Deluge to control modular and semi-modular synths. You’ll also learn how to take advantage of the Deluge LFOs to simplify sending modulation, and how to make drone notes by using audio-rate CV and gate output from the Deluge. I’ll also give you some tips and tricks  along the way to get the most out of the Deluge. NOTE 1: I use the mic input on the deluge in this video. It’s safer to use the line input jack when hooking up to synths! NOTE 2: I say 'LFO' occasionally in the video where I mean to say arpeggiator. Sorry about that! Take a look through this list of topics - I cover a lot! 00:00 Introduction 00:32 Connecting the Deluge to the 0-Coast 01:27 MIDI DIN to TRS cable makes it simple 02:00 Monitor audio via the Deluge line input 03:15 What is Control Voltage (CV) and how does it work? 03:30 What is a gate and how do you use them? 03:50 Visualising gates and CV to understand them better 04:30 Play the 0-Coast using CV and gate output from the Deluge 05:25 Using CV outputs to modulate 0-Coast envelope decay 06:38 Put CV values into the Deluge step sequencer 07:05 Modulate the 0-Coast wavefolder using CV from the Deluge 07:45 Send MIDI and CV values to the 0-Coast, play notes and modulate two things 08:05 Use the MIDI B channel as a third modulation source from the Deluge 09:08 How to use the Deluge LFO to modulate CV outputs - a quick way to change values 10:31 Using the Deluge as a handy MIDI to CV converter 11:23 Deluge LFO on CV track as a simple Sample and Hold generator 12:35 Example of using LFO sample and hold; modulating filter cutoff 13:27 Audio rate LFOs: sawtooth and triangle waves 15:02 Stacking CV outputs to create 'fatter' drones 16:01 How to adjust pitch of drones 17:16 Create square waves using the gate outputs 19:16 Outro and thanks! The Deluge makes an excellent partner to modular and semi-modular synths. But how does it all work? What is CV? What is a gate? How do you connect all the wires together? I answer these questions in this video. I’ll use the Make Noise 0-Coast and my modular rig to show you some tips and tricks for making the most of the Deluge paired with modular gear. Topics Covered: How to connect the Deluge to a modular synth Basics of CV and gate - what are they? How does a CV track work? Playing notes using CV and gate outputs MIDI and CV together for more advanced control Using a Deluge LFO as a sample and hold module Audio rates from LFOs, using LFOs as drone notes Use the Deluge as a MIDI to CV converter Use the Deluge as a simple audio effects processor for your modular synths Some links to equipment I used in this video: Synthstrom Deluge: http://Synthstrom.com Make Noise 0-Coast: http://www.makenoisemusic.com/synthes...
