Patreon exclusive - Recording CV with Simpliciter
Hi everyone!
Here is another exclusive video. This time, how to use Simpliciter to record and manipulate control voltage. This can open many doors to many sonic possibilities.
Just in case the video doesn't work here on Patreon, here's a link to the YouTube version - https://youtu.be/QlXNEVpJ1dA

Thank you Omri for this! I took a whirl at this, this afternoon and came up with a whole way of re-sequencing constantly evolving "CV takes". I think my next step is going to let the slice loop a certain amount of times and then create new slices on the fly (If that's even possible, I don't even know, I'm new to Simpliciter).
Oh nice, this sounds like an interesting experiment! Let me know how it goes 😊
Worked like a charm! This is exactly what I’ve been wishing for for a long time. Thank you!
Oh nice! Have fun :)
Excellent tutorial! I plugged my midi keyboard in and sent the pitch and gate in. The output from simpliciter changes the notes - it sounds really flat. For my first test I was using the Befaco even vco. When I went straight from the VCV midi to cv module into the oscillator it sounds fine. When it goes through Simpliciter it sounds terrible. Is there some button or setting I’m missing?
Yeah, you will have to change the mix so only the incoming signal goes through at first. Otherwise, the incoming signal is attenuated and that's why it sounds flat. Just take the mix all the way to the right.
Many thanks for this, I wouldn't have thought of using simpliciter for recording cv and the fact that you can save 2 modulation sources per file is going to be super useful
You can use the complex simpler to record CV too... and with polyphony! Not as many options for cutting and slicing as Simpliciter gives you but you can still play around with the playback speed and direction. Also, try recording CV with Simpliciter and using the Simpler Tape Control expander.
