The first 6 minutes are truly amazing. Not only do you deliver a lot of basics to someone who has no clue about sound creation but you easily adapt to the tool as you go.
@InventionTherapy6 жыл бұрын
You don't need to mix or split the output for stereo. Just use two patch cables out from one output to the channel 1 and 2 (L and R). It took me awhile to figure it out but you are not limited to one patch cable per connection.
@DirkIronside6 жыл бұрын
Thank you for that observation! I was dismayed by the apparent limitation until I stumbled upon your note!
@oldbatwit51024 жыл бұрын
Hold ctrl then make the second cable or you will just delete the first. There isn't a 'multiples' in my version.

You don't need a mult, you can just hold down the ctrl key while dragging a wire and it allows you to "stack" multiple wires from one source. And of course there are LFOs, in "Fundamental", at least in my Version 0.6.0. You can search for it in the white title bar by entering "lfo". And don't forget to click all free plugins on the website, then download them.

When the "Space" knob of Elements is at zero, it plays the output of the strike/blow/bow module out the left channel and the output of the resonator to the right channel. It's not a bug, that's how the hardware version of Elements works.
@jeremiericard55016 жыл бұрын
HI. To do have output on 1 and 2, you can click an drag the output of the vca in input 1 of audio interface and than click on output 2 of the audio interface and drag to your output vca. That will combine the output of both 1 and 2 output. (Just know that I just watched the first 7 minutes of the video I have no ideas if you have a better solution further...)

I guess you can sort of make an LFO by patching an alternating sequence (here functioning as a low-frequency square) into an ADSR, stretching out the attack and decay and release while taking the sustain down to zero to make the slow square coming out of the sequencer kind of sine-ish?
