The “envelope follower” module
Let’s have a closer look at these two situations:
9.4.2.1Trig by an external audio source.
In the first case, the Moog Modular V will be used as a VST insert effect for an audio track in Cubase SX.
If you don’t have Cubase, know that the procedure remains globally the same for any other sequencer.
Firstly, place a sample (preferably a drum loop) on an audio track on the sequencer.
Open a VST “Insert” effect on this track by choosing “Moog Modular V2 FX”.
On a MIDI track, choose the Moog Modular V2 FX as MIDI control output. It will thus be controlled by your master keyboard or by a sequence recorded in the arrangement. This point is essential for generating the sound of the Moog Modular V.
It is also possible to create a continuous note (hold) so that the Moog signal doesn’t stop. For this, set the “Release” knob on the VCA1 envelope fully to the right (in the direction of the hands of a clock).
On the Moog, choose the “EFX/ Ext_In” preset in the “Factory” bank. The “Ext Left” audio in (on the lower section) is connected to the envelope follower audio in. This indicates that the audio signal will guide the envelope.
