Need help using TimeTrip Pad using ext. Audio Inputs ..

5 May 2006, 06:16

hey all, Can you please help out on this subject.

I need help using TimeTrip Pad using the Input (TRS.Jacks) as the Audio source.

I am using Cuebase SX3 and I have routed a sum drums through the "V-synth inputs L-R .TRS.Jacks".

The Signal is going through the V-synth O.K , but the Time Pad (or anything else) is having no effect on the signal.
Any ideas on why not?
I'm not sure but do you have to set a OSC to "EXT IN" ?
I have tried this but have not had any luck yet.
please help!

here is how the v-synth "System-Mode" is setup....

"System-Mode" / COMMON - I/O SYSTEM

External Input type = STEREO L R.
Mix/Parallel = Mix
Digital Output Freq = 44.1kHz.

"System-Mode" / COMMON MIDI USB

Device ID = 17
Clock Source = midi
Rx.PC = OFF
Rx.Bank = OFF
Rx.Sys-Ex = OFF
Tx.Edi t= OFF
Clock.Out = OFF

"System-Mode" / COMMON PART MIDI

Part.1 = ON

"System-Mode" / COMMON AUDIO I/F

Mic Jack Switch = ON
Input Jack Switch = ON
Input Jack Gain =0dB
USB Audio Input Source = ANALOG
Monitor Sw = ON
USB Audio output Dest = MAIN.

"System-Mode" / CONTROLLER TX

Patch.Tx = OFF
Tx.PC = OFF
Tx Bank = OFF
Tx.Active.Sens = OFF

"System-Mode" / CONTROLLER KBD

Local.Sw = ON

"System-Mode" / CONTROLLER TT.PAD

X.Assign-XY = CC80
X.Assign-TT = CC82
Y.Assign-XY = CC81
Y.Assign-TT = CC83

.. thanks jesse

If you read the manual a little, you will see that TimeTrip Pad works only with samples being played from the V-Synth itself, and also on OSC and COSM parameters.

For mangling some sound with the TTP, you need to sample it first (MODE -> SAMPLE), encode it, and then assign it to a patch. If you'd like to do some realtime tweaks on the external input, yes, you need to initialize a patch, set OSC to External Input, then add some COSM units which can be controlled via TTP (usually in the "ASSIGNABLE" XY mode) via the Matrix Control setup (tab in the Common section of the patch editor).

hey thanks for your help Artemio....

I must of read a the manual twice already but sum things just go in and out of my head without even registering.

when i was playing around with a signal running through the V-synths inputs, I found that the Cosms have very little effect over the sound especially filters.
has anyone else noticed this?

Which COSM algorithms are you working with and do you tweak any parameters? Try Wave Shaper for instance.
